Sabae dreamt of magma again.

She was trapped on the Skyhold council chamber seal, Abyla Ceutas’ lake of magma writhing around it. Only instead of being a small lake of it on the peak of Skyhold, it was a sea that stretched from horizon to horizon, and it was slowly rising.

Shapes were swimming about beneath the magma, and Sabae, in that way peculiar to dreams, knew they were sea serpents, and she knew they were coming for her.

She knew she was dreaming, knew that she wouldn’t be harmed, but she still cowered and covered her head when the first serpent launched itself out of the magma at her.

It never struck, though.

She slowly looked up, and to her shock, the sea serpent was dissolving into little bird-winged mice.

Another sea serpent reared up from the water in the distance, with purple-green flames tearing through it, dissolving it into luminescent golden smoke that sang quietly.

Patches of dreamfire began racing across the magma, leaving behind a madcap, bizarre dreamscape in their stead. Crystal trees, rabbits the size of houses, and cloud fortresses drifted through her mind as the dreamfire burnt away the last of the magma.

Her awareness that she was in a dream began to fade, and the last thing she recalled was Talia’s voice, echoing as if from a great distance away.

“You’re safe, Sabae. I’m here.”
