"Fog, Flames, and the Lady in Red" - All Malkavian's Shared Vision

Part One

  When your character next sleeps, he has a dream. In this dream he finds himself standing amid a field standing before a large hill. The field reaches out for maybe a mile before a thick wall of fog encircles the field, blocking any hope of seeing what is beyond it. The night sky has been blocked out by a sea of dark clouds and in the distance, he can hear the bellowing of Thunder.   This place is familiar to your character, as if he had been here before, or seen it before, but he cannot determine where it is. He cannot see himself in this dream, he can only view the field itself. It's also as if he cannot walk or move, because every time he tries, everything he can see remains the same distance away. As they look up to the top of the hill, he can see a shadowy figure, who stands looking out across the field beyond them. When your character turns to see what it is the figure looks at, he sees another figure standing on the edge of the fog. This new figure is wrapped in a mixture of shadows and flames that whirl around them. As the Lady in Red steps out of the fog and begins to approach the hill, the fog wall begins changing into a wall of flames. The new wall of flames follows behind the Lady in Red with each step she takes. As your character’s beast begins to rage and frenzy from the fear of the flames, your character finds himself awakening in his Haven.      

Part Two

Your character blinks and finds himself much closer to one of the hills, roughly 50 ft from the base of the hill. Once again you think you hear the bellowing of Thunder, but it's much louder, as if it were right upon you. But you soon realize that what you hear is the earth rumbling beneath your feet in an earthquake. As the rumbling intensifies, large chunks of the earth shoot up out of the ground roughly 25 ft in front of you, creating massive pillars slanting out from the base of the hill. As he looks up to the peak of the hill, 3 bolts of lightning streak across the sky. Unlike normal lightning, these are made of a pitch black light. 2 of the bolts strike 2 of the trees atop of the hill. The 3rd strikes the hill itself somewhere on the far side beyond his line of sight. From the spots that the lightning had struck, Your Character sees multiple prominent blotches of darkness coalescing towards the center of the hill where a dark figure is standing. He realizes that he can't be certain if the figure had only just arrived, or if he had been there the entire time.
