A Dreaming Visit

A Dreaming Visit Between sleep and waking Delilah wanders in a dream shaped by her training at Haseofon. She reaches the temple without having been summoned by Greta. A changed relationship to the calling She feels pride in her place among the Death Maidens. The dream begins not as a nightmare but as a visit to a community and vocation she has come to value.

A Knot of Dread

A Knot of Dread Unease without evidence Delilah senses that something is wrong, though she does not know of any mistake she has made. She hopes not to become embroiled in another crisis. A warning before words Her bodily dread arrives before the vision itself. The feeling prepares her to take what follows seriously even though the temple appears normal.

Arial’s Urgent Greeting

Arial’s Urgent Greeting A sister’s embrace Arial appears in two-legged form and throws her arms around Delilah. Although she smiles, worry marks her face, and she quickly brings her sister to a private room. A message from the dead Arial is Delilah’s twin, who died at birth and can appear this way only in Haseofon. Their reunion is both intimate and supernatural, giving the coming warning a personal source.

A Vision of Catastrophe

A Vision of Catastrophe Fire and destruction Arial describes buildings collapsing, people screaming, and lightning striking. She sees one death after another, then thousands more. Scale without a location She cannot identify where or when the events will occur. The absence of details does not soften the warning; it makes the threat feel vast and difficult to prepare for.

The Warning Carried Back

The Warning Carried Back A guarded prediction Arial says that Delilah, Camille, and Menolly will be in the thick of the coming danger. She warns Delilah to walk softly and avoid crossing the veil. A message beyond memory Arial tells Delilah she may not remember the conversation upon waking, though some part of her will react more quickly. Delilah returns toward her body with a storm gathering on the horizon.
