Since the Rake's attack on that proxy, everything here has been eerily silent. There is no evidence of movement in the woods whatsoever. I haven't seen Hypnos standing at the edge of the wards, smirking at us. His proxies haven't been testing the boundaries. Hawk said that even his dreams are quiet in comparison to that mess with the box, and his family. I myself have not had any dreams whatsoever in over a week-Just a terrible feeling of unease whenever I look at Hawk.
With the sudden quietness from our enemies, this has only increased. I am a bit concerned, though he seems to be in better spirits now than he was before. I've taken up his habit of staring out windows, pulling out my sword without realizing it..Come to think of it, I've started wearing it everywhere I go now. I don't recall when I started doing that...
Part of me wants to go scouting, to see if they are even still HERE. Or if they're cooking something up where was can't see them. The latter seems much more likely than the first.
I'd say they're somewhere close by, waiting for you to get comfortable. Maybe for you to even get confident enough to go past the wards.
ReplyDeleteI would say the same thing as the girl whose name eerily resembles mine. ;)
ReplyDeleteBe on your guard against the calm before the storm.
I haven’t had any dreams either.
ReplyDeleteI think you started carrying your sword everywhere around the time I started carrying my shotgun everywhere.
The atmosphere in the house has gotten a bit tense, don’t you think? Though Hawk seems more relaxed. Could just be my imagination.
Unease when you look at me? Well, that hasn't been made obvious lately, at all...
ReplyDeleteZia, if it troubles you, I can lengthen it from its nickname to what it actually is. I don't have a problem doing it.
ReplyDeleteEveryone, please be careful.
