After Litha, did everyone have the same dream again? Of the city being destroyed?

If it’s not too much to ask, I’d like to know what you remember from it. It might be important to confirm the details we can recall.

I see.

To the best of my knowledge, there isn’t a pit of fire under Parliament currently, or anything that might cause that, but I haven’t been there much myself. Were you able to pick up whether the fire was of magical or mundane origins, by any chance?

[fifty]

I don't know. I'm pretty sure there was probably something used to make the fire worse, though, 'cause it was still burning like crazy. Or something in the basement was super flammable, but when you see a government building up in flames like that, you gotta assume arson, right? [At least that's what America's thoughts immediately pop over to.]

[topslug]

That’s the first thing that would come to mind for me, too. There are usually safeguards that would keep that kind of thing from happening in the first place.

... I hate to ask, but were there any bodies...?

[fifty]

I didn't see any. There were those ghosts in the other parts of the city, though.

[topslug]

Those shadow-like things?

[fifty]

Yeah. They definitely seemed like ghosts, right?

[topslug]

I couldn't say for sure since I've never seen ghosts before, but I wonder if that sort of phenomenon's known to exist in Aefenglom, or if that was just the dream. Some pretty unrealistic stuff happens in them, so we can't really take what we see for granted...
