With the rising of the morning sun, you wake up and make your way downstairs, joining the others for breakfast before you head out. The sky has some overcast this morning, casting a light gray shadow upon the land.

You step outside and trot your way west toward the Sunshine Farmstand, understanding that this is where Kayto once sold her harvested produce and alcoholic beverages. When you arrive, you find the solemn, lonely farmstand seems just as melancholy as the farmstead itself. What used to be a brightly colored produce stand with flower design motifs has become brown and splintered. On the outside, you find a lot of empty crates that look like they haven’t been used or touched in years and on that same note, probably won’t ever be used for anything again. Several empty barrels are here as well and whatever liquid they once held has dried up long ago.

Among these neglected containers, you sense a strange presence that feels foreign at first, but then you recall where you’ve felt that sensation before. Someone from Black Moon was here and you seem to have the idea that the farmstand was alive and thriving at the time this leathery piece of parchment was placed here.

You find it tucked behind one of the barrels, and you use one of your hooves to pry it out and pull it closer to you so you can read it…



[=Assassin’s Cant=] has been added to the Team Inventory.

Tueur…

We shall never see home again…

And you know from what you’ve been told… they never did. For a brief moment, these Black Moon Savants feel almost like brothers and sisters… their memories wiped and with that purging, their motivation to go back to the world they came from. It almost makes you wonder if in time, they even forgot what humans looked like, now living in a world where humans have never walked and were only the material of fairytales, as if they were akin to centaurs, mermaids, and goblins…

Inside the farmstand itself, you find the grocery bins and baskets have long been empty and it seems as though no one thought they were even worth stealing. Dust and cobwebs have taken their place, along with empty crates, splintered wood, and old dirty cups and mugs that probably won’t ever be used again.

Off to the side, you find an enclosed storage area for items that weren’t for sale, such as labeling tools, extra bins, signs, and other supplies Kayto kept for helping with promoting her store and keeping everything clean and maintained. But it’s not the only thing you find in here…

You come across another Dorimugeto dream gate, cleverly hidden in this storage area that likely no one was going to come across. But as you think about it, anyone that did and was tempted to touch it was whisked away into Yume and got lost in there for better or for worse.

As you approach the blue and lavender-colored swirling vortex, you feel its presence around you, bathing you with a gentle breeze forged from dreams…

Sam has inherited 3 points of Kurosuōbā…

For a brief moment, you feel as though you’ve been taken to a faraway place and you recognize it as Yume’s presence. Suddenly, even just figments of your imagination feel closer to being real, as if memories that you once lived in before many years ago. As you close your eyes, you see a few of your more recent dreams replayed like movies. Engrams of dreams that seemed broken and ambiguous are suddenly made clear and complete, like a book that was put back together into a complete and coherent story.

@{Dorimugeto (Dream Gate): Pureto jo} – ~3 Kurosuōbā~@ has been noted in the Team Records.

The Pureto jo tablet… or the plate tablet to be exact. It’s a message… like an order form or decree to receive the Shadow Plate, or the Shadoupureto to be exact. While most of Yume is like a dream wonderland, there is still a part of it that is based on nightmares. To be complete, even relics for the ritual are needed from there. The dark side of Yume is not without its own secrets.

And while nightmares may seem needless and terrifying at first, you realize and remember that Yume is and can be a training ground for the soul. Nightmares have their purpose, too. In Yume, the horrors cannot hurt you, but instead build your resilience and resistance to the forces of darkness.

You don’t find anything else here, but you make note to come back with the Pureto Jo once you’re ready to receive the Shadoupureto. You figure it’s been many long years since the gateway was hidden and opened, but it’s not too late to continue the work that was unfinished, even if its many years later than what was originally anticipated.

As the sun begins to set, you trot your way back to the farmstead with the Assassin’s Cant in your travel pouch. The work and the sacrifice of the Black Moon Savants… that too, is work that needs closure…
