The Truth

Goma sets to work making Mana Potions and Yulia raises her head, in surprise, "Oh... A new voice. That's... Wow I haven't heard a new voice in some time. Hello!" Yulia says with a little wave, "glad to have you here. I look forward to our future cooperation!" she says cheerfully. Goma finishes the mana potions and hands them to Yulia who takes them.

"I guess we're all ready now," Cherchiel says, sounding a bit nervous.

"Yes, time for the moment of truth, let's go see the Old Mind," Yulia says.

The group head to the entrance to the Dream and slowly enter. There's no sign of the mist as they travel down the tunnel and eventually they emerge to a very strange sight. There is still no mist and no Lem waiting for them. There is also surprisingly no paths. Instead there is simply a single cavern which contains "a corpse sitting in an old chair, a number of **** people arranged against the wall, a large pit against one of the back walls and nothing else, this is the true path of dreams, all it's grandeur mere illusion.

Yulia approaches the chair in which the Old Mind sits and soon hears his voice in her head, "you have returned, but you still don't have puppet?" he says and then there's silence for a moment, "why can I not... Ah... That cursed stone. You are here to kill me then? I may not be able to levy my full power against you, but I will not die easily..." he says and around the corpse, small flames begin to appear, dancing in the air, "if this is my end I will take you out with me!" he declares, his voice reverberating in Yulia's skull and Yulia draws out her rapier.

"This is almost sad..." Cherchiel mutters as she raises her spear preparing to fight this decrepit corpse.
