The strange encounter only further proves to be bizarre. Coris more and more doubts the sincerity of this being reality, which can only mean his successful kill with Venati was all a fantasy as well. This depresses him most of all.

Anxious to know what this dream has in store he keeps moving forward, even with the striped cat striding just as eagerly towards him. The tail twitches, a signal to strike? Coris halts, muscles tensing and his head beginning to dip, but there is little need. Heated chains whip forth and ensnare the cat with a hiss. Coris starts at this, his head rising and heartbeat fluctuating like a delicate bird trapped under his skin. He widens his stance as though to brace and demands Venati leave. The bird flutters into the sky with a rebuking screech, equally unsettled by this display.

Dream or not, Coris didn't intend on either of them dying.

The walking corpse that controls tiger and fire then shimmers and shifts. Gone is the pale bone and the frayed sinew. Gone is the revolting aroma and the maggot mottled muscle. Coris tilts his head to regard this shift of appearance, noting too that the colt has been replaced by a mature stallion. Fully immersed in fantasy land by now, the hunter is forced to laugh.

"Oh Nightmares, what little she-devils of the night, no?" A silly grin splits the bearded muzzle of the stallion. Ears flick to attention as Prometheus asks a senseless question, which only makes the situation even more hilarious. Shoulder rise and fall in a shrug, though Coris will play along. "Why does anyone?"

Ahead Venati coasts on the breeze, her shadow a speck of black as it circles them on the ground. A strong urgency flares in the back of Coris' mind as the bird hopelessly tries to communicate that the child and cat are as real as anything else.
