Dreams in the Temple

Light, you find yourself back on the Domino, but the crew are lying around you dead and injured. The sails are aflame, and worse yet the hydra rises from the sea, horribly undead, with rotting flesh, and exposed organs. It strikes immediately, whisking Cicero off the deck and devouring him. Next it strikes Aiano, then Xanorin, then Sena. Duncan tries to protect you, but one head grabs him while another lifts you off the ground. It's undead eyes meet yours and you can hear the voice of the Dread in your mind "You are MINE!" The jaws close over you and you darkness eclipses everything.
Xanorin, you find yourself back in Xelios' bed chamber on Colossa. You keep hearing a whisper coming from somewhere, a pleading faint cry. You make your way through the dusty confines, only to come up on room after room of empty lifelessness. You feel hope fading when you open a door and find Peye there, clutching Graven Ashe and weeping… but only dust comes from her eyes. She looks to you, and starts to shrivel into a husk, her voice cracking as it is obvious that Ashe has drawn her life essence into it. "Master Xanorin, we are so very close now… just a few more and you will be able to do Great things, Terrible, but very great." You wake up.
Duncan, the damp grasses press around you as the party inches closer and closer to the Aval's Horde. Tarsus is in your sights, and as you surge forward, he turns on you, a grin on his face and his massive trident slamming you to the ground. You hear the cries of your companions around you. Sena hacked to pieces by Zeth. Xanorin melting as a massive ball of acid coats him, and Light bursting into crimson flames and shrieking in pain. Tarsus snarls at you, "Unable to save your friends or yourself. Pathetic." He brings his hoof up to smash your legs, and your arms before bringing it up to smash your skull.
Sena, within your trance you reach into your memories to sooth you, happier times on Stella Luna. Your family enjoying a peaceful moment. Receiving praise from Abbas Adra. Learning healing magic from Fala and how to fight form Leor. Hunting with Rilo… and suddenly his is there corrupted by the Dread, lost to Chaos. And then the Dread is smashing you, rending your blood into the Sea of Dread, and the monstrous giant lizard gripping you in its massive jaws and carrying you away. Each good memory you attempt to draw to mind is pushed away by the darkness of the voyage and horrors you've seen.
