*** Ciocan has a bad dream or vision...and a worried hare has Quinten check on Ciocan ***

Who:

Ciocan-Badger Lord

Quinten- Recorder of Long Patrol and General in Long Patrol

Log:

Its mostly quiet during the night, no one is usually up except for maybe 2-3 hares on sentry duty and 2 of those hares are in the room where they usually go to watch the shores, one will walk around, well usually they could skip out on it and claim they did. Ciocan was up a little late looking over a couple things and then went to bed like he usually does. There was that dream or maybe nightmare he wasn't sure he had, but it seemed to disappear for a few weeks, till now. Causing him to mumble and toss and turn in his sleep.

Quinten is up late, the older General doesn't sleep as much these days so when one of the sentries reports weird noises from his lordships room the hare makes his way upstairs. He knocks on the door firmly then pushes it open and sticks his head inside, holding up a lantern to illuminate, "My lord..."

Ciocan doesn't reply, it seems he didn't hear or seems to know someone opened his door. Though its very clear his sleep is not peaceful right now, far from peaceful as he mutters something again, he becomes more restless griping onto his blanket and ends up waking, half way with a startled yelp and tumbles off his bed onto the floor getting a little tangled up in his blanket, he snorts as falling onto the floor from his bed did hurt a little but other than a small bruise on his arm he will be fine

Quinten walks on over and leans down to place a paw on the blanket and pull it off Ciocan's head, "My lord... your sleep seems troubled."

Ciocan scoots back and stares at the hare, blinking a couple times before he seems to see he is in his room as he frowns and slowly stands, dusting off his night clothing only to sit back down on the bed rubbing a now sore spot on his upper arm before he finally speaks."A dream..nightmare or possible vision, I had a dream maybe 3-4 weeks ago, not as detailed but still one clear thing in both stood out, and its the 2nd night in a row have had the dream come back again.."

Quinten frowns and moves to sit on the edge of the bed, "That doesn't sound so good sir, your dreams can be as informative as the walls coated in badger script, what do you think it is trying to tell us?"

Ciocan frowns, "The dream..started out fine, calm and peaceful..even de sea was calm, then it suddenly got pitch black, no light, not even a speck. Then suddenly large eyes...one deep golden and one crimson blood red, in both dreams..."He holds his head as he tries to remember it all, "Thar...was a little more and then it was pitch black again and it seemed the sea turned angry and the wind and...there was, like I was feeling panic and fear for some reason, but not my own and then I woke up...on the floor.."

Quinten pats his Lord's shoulder, "It is ok my lord, these things happen... I am sure its meaning will become clear in time."

Ciocan sighs and nods, "I may mediate on it."He smiles at the hare "Sorry to distrube any sleep you were trying to have Quinten, but you are correct it has to mean something, just what...write this down, then I am sure I am not gonna forget something like this and I can let you know more details later if any come"

Quinten says, "Oh it didn't disturb me my lord, I was reading in my office, I don't sleep as much as I used to these days.""

Ciocan nods as he yawns, he is still tried. "Perhaps you and I should try and get some rest. The dream I feel is a warning...just what I do not know but it may be wise to be prepared, just in case. Not that the others will be happy but get a little tougher with training drills, maybe a couple patrols around the beach and in Halyard." Quinten says, "Of course my lord,"

Quinten gathers up his lantern and heads for the door, "We can talk about it more in the morning""

Ciocan nods"Goodnight then Quinten"
