I awoke with a start. Awoke? How could that be? I tried to remember what I had done in the real world while I was asleep. There was a sense of loss... but also a wholeness that I hadn't felt in such a long time. I rolled over in my too short nightgown and too short bed, and remembered the horrors of the day before. Me killing the non-dead elves with Etain's sword. Facing Hel, rescuing the gods, and making it back alive. And going to sleep. SLEEP!?!?! This wasn't a W.T.E., this was reality. I had slept. For a full night? In my heart I wanted to believe that I was simply sleeping in both worlds, but I knew from experience that it didn't feel like that. That was going to the real world, recieving update, and kept dreaming. Two conciences, for a moment. This was real sleep.
Real sleep? what did this mean? Then I thought of myself fading, as did the others... but I was different. I was fading in Everworld, not in the real world. This shouldn't happen to me! I want to go home!
Home? As I thought, home wasn't in Chicago anymore. It was in Everworld. Not anywhere in particular, but... it was the place where we lived. Loved. And discovered ourselves. My parents and friends would miss me, and I them, but it just didn't seem important anymore.
What did feel important was the war with Ka Anor. Our alliance with the dwarves and elves, all through the marriage of Baldwin and Etain. Oh god, Etain. Christopher. We were in Everworld. Would we age as slowly as the humans here?
*sighs* Shouldn't worry about this. Should worry about war. But my thoughts were plagued with the thoughts of the real world. Maybe I would see it again someday. But until then... W.T.E.
Someone's knocking on the door... its David. In King Davideus mode. Its now time to accept my new life.
