A figure made of paper walks out of the blackness. Curls of fabric-like scrolls hang and waft around its body, tiny pieces of writing woven into its surface in shining silver. Each night the dream is the same, but a little clearer. The creature speaks to you. Its voice is surprisingly human. Surprisingly earnest.

“Do not fear your new power.” A simple, almost paternal, smile adorns its face. “We have prepared many things to help you that we did not have in our own time of awakening.”

Images of a hall, filled with parchment and scrolls, quills and ink, worn down candles, weapons and armour, and a heavy book with glowing pages flash across your mind. You see a figure, perhaps yourself, clad in a dull glow. Sometimes you see yourself holding a key, a shield, or a simple scroll. A third eye is upon your forehead, its lid closed. The figure's third eye opens and your own flickers open in turn. A surge of information overwhelms you, flooding through your mind with sounds and sights. For a moment it seems too much to bear... 

“We will teach you to use the magic that flows around you, to draw spirit from a place of great power into your body so that it may renew over and over. We will show you how to see the flows of magic and identify places and items of power so that you might use them.” 

The eye upon your forehead snaps shut but something feels different. You are alive for the first time after an existence that in hindsight was dull and grey and weak. Something rages within you. Your limbs are filled with strength, your mind races, you speak strange words, and the world changes before your eyes. Bursts of fire, light, and sound coalesce in the air. Muscles you didn’t have before lend you strength. An eye you didn’t have before lets you see. You feel like you could climb any mountain, fell any tree, run a hundred miles. It's intoxicating and powerful. For the first time you are Awake. 

“We have made a place for you and others like you. Come and find us.” 

As the dream fades into dawn, you are left with images, landmarks, distances, and directions. You know where to travel if you want to go there… to find a Haven.
