Dreamstrike: SK's Story
|
"From the moment dreamstrike was reintroduced, the Union wished to find a way to rid the city of it. It was under that guise that RavenXR learned it on behalf of the Union, but his intentions were clearly different as we soon learned, when he struck guardDog. "Dreamstrike, like all destructive enterprises is something the Union opposes in principle, especially when it was so easy for so many bad actors to gain it. Besides the actual losses the art creates, it creates a sense of panic that is unneeded in the city. Its proper uses are so limited and its bad uses are so many that we found out it will almost always be used for evil when placed in the hands of dreamers. "After the Union re-established itself, we again set out to learn dreamstrike as part of our continuing effort to rid the city of mares, but ultimately to remove the art from the city. We had decided that Cowled One must be struck for this to happen. "I cannot pretend to know all the process that led to Cowled One being weakened to the point of collapse, but when the moment arose, there was no doubt in my mind that I was oathbound to remove him from the city. On behalf of the Union, I dreamstruck the darkmare t'kkar who had taken possession of our old Seneschal, and Cowled One. "I was able to see first-hand how debilitating the art can be when placed in the hands of justice, and how incompatible it was with dreamers who wished for justice and rebuilding rather than chaos and destruction. I became quite ill after using it, and I still carry the burden with me - even though I stand behind the effort." When asked what nature of illness, SK responds: "A dark feeling of wrongdoing is the only way I could describe it. I do not know how anybody who struck another dreamer could continue dreaming with themselves. My feeling is mitigated by the knowledge it was necessary for the city."

erialkiller33 has only recently returned to the to the city after a long absense and, it seems to this interviewer, he seems to jump from place to place at a hectic pace. Fortunately for me, I catch the busy SK alone in Union Threshold. He generously gives his time to share a few of his memories.
