Bottom Of The Mountain

The dreams that Asher saw were filled with stars, a great forest, and of course the Tidemother.

The trio performed a great play for Asher in his dreams, leaving him as mesmerized in the dream as he did in the real life.

In a way the dream was helping him digest all that he had experience in this short period and would soon allow him to assimilate it within him.

Hours passed away like this and soon, Asher saw the night in his dream turn into day.

Unknowingly he opened his eyes, finding the bright light of the Sourcefather shining down in his eyes.

"AH!" the sudden increase in light made him flinch, and he couldn't help but close his eyes.

It took him a minute or so to adapt to the change in brightness, and made his eyes water. 

"So bright… What time is it?" Asher was a bit disoriented. "The Sourcefather is… Four fingers high in the sky." He measured.
