Keymrill's Dream
🍃 characters 🍃 Keymrill and you!
🍃 date/time 🍃 Mid-October, night
🍃 location 🍃 The sixth floor of the tree
🍃 rating 🍃 teen and up (it's the nightmare prompt, things could get dark)
🍃 summary 🍃 A visit in the night from someone long gone.
Keymrill has never claimed a home for herself, though on the colder nights she's been known to slip inside an unoccupied room and curl up in the corner. Being a cat, she'll sleep anywhere. Tonight she's on the sixth floor, laid on her side with paws outstretched in the gap between the inn and the smaller houses. Her paws and ears twitch as she dreams, first intermittently, then faster and more frequent.
In her dreams she navigates dark tunnels of stone, never ending, far from her familiar elements of earth and grass. An unseen pursuer is on her heels, and no trick will give it the slip. Wherever she runs, it follows. Faster and faster it chases...
Her eyes snap open as a great weight crushes her ribs. In the light of the lifestream, still shining gold at this hour, a figure appears before her eyes, still hazy from sleep. For the blink of an eye it appears human to her senses, and she is ready to fight it off - and then it is not human but a huge kiarr, teeth bared in a grin as she looms over her, pinning her to the floor...
Keymrill has just enough time to hiss "Kyuvarr!" before it fades into the light, and she is left with nothing more than the hammering of her heart.
She waits. The illusionary kiarr does not return, but Keymrill isn't going back to sleep any time soon. She slinks out into the main landing, fully alert as she hears someone approach...
