selene may be taking the terrible edge off my bad dreams but sometimes i still remember their general subject
last night i dreamt of the sharn sewers and that mage who lost control of his portal and got pulled in to some sort of tentacle parade
after waking up this morning i started imagining that but instead of a mage they were ... someone seeking "integration" with a forged limb who instead got dragged into it
that would be uncomfortable but probably only briefly
meledri dropped by to check on us so i pulled out the fiends' research book to ask her opinion but relic grabbed it and torched it to ash
i'd have been annoyed but i know to trust relic's instincts
meledri explained that there really is knowledge that can corrupt a person just by reading it
relic told me how his clan was nearly destroyed because of that sort of cursed writing
meledri asked if i'd read any of it and i said i hadn't
and that was true but only barely
after a bit more chat i admitted that i technically hadn't read the book but i did glance inside just long enough to know what the subject was and i asked if that was too much
she looked deep into my eyes and asked if i remembered any of what i saw
i answered no
she told me i seemed to be fine and that i could relax
relax? after that dream? even though fiends want to weaponize my work and i can't even read their notes to try and stop them?
