Okay Katia, remember what happened last time. Outright fighting this monster results in things escalating drastically. This leads me to believe that it is a mirror, but overreacts to hostile actions. If you cower, it does nothing. If you stand up to it, things get scarier. If you attack, it KILLS you. The solution? Be as friendly as you can manage, and as respectful as you should be in the presence of royalty.
But first get some light in here. Can you imagine a candle, then light it with fire magic?
Katia: congratulations, you are dead apparently nobody told you that falling asleep in a burning building is a BAD IDEA! oh well cant expect such a dumb khajitt to think rationally.
now apparently you are in limbo, enjoy eternity in the cold darkness.
Katia,you should use Nighteye and see if you can get a sense of where you are.If you're in the dream realm and the king appears once more,be smart.Do not engage him physically as he's vastly out of your league,but don't fear him either.You have a strong will Katia,a determination that's nigh unstoppable once you've made your mind up.Do not give into the king.We know you have it in you to overcome the fear and strengthen yourself.
If you're in someplace else...keep your wits about you.The Nines be damned if something bad were to happen now.
But above all else Katia,know this.Whatever may come,know that you have it in you to see it through to the bitter end.You can do it Katia.We believe in you.
Katia, you look somehow... smaller. You are a little kitten again! And all those barely suppressed "happy" childhood memories are back. It doesn't matter how hard you try to forget them - they will always be within your deepest self.
But where are you?
It's so dark in here! So lonely. So cold and bleak. So claustrophobic... Oh no! Anything but that! Please... not the blazing scary eyes!
Why are they doing it to you? Why?
Why do they stuff you into this horrible almost-soundproof trash crate every night you wake up scared to death, desperately crying for help?
At least you're alone. It's not that bad until you start whimpering. You must be quiet... hush, hush.
Let's hope that he won't show up... or even worse... she
> Katia's mother who "could Eye of Fear all day long like it was nobody’s business": Make that nightmarish emperor look like a total loser =^.^=
Katia, instead of using your night vision, try litting a nearby torch, or just have a fireball as one. I have a bad feeling about letting the darkness be.
Time to be greeted by your subconsious!
Say, ever wondered if there was anything special about that necromancer you slept with two nights ago?
At first I was planning to make a comic in which Katia's subconscious goes greet her and condecorate her with a Badge of Will (that thing I drafted a while ago, remember?) for smashing the bottle of cheap mead, and comment on how courageous she is and what not, as the atmosphere gradually gets grimmer and the eyes of one giving the badge glows blue, and as everyone backs away into the darkness they assume the shape of the Nightmare Emperor, and the tree part of the badge starts growing roots on her.
But then I realized it'd take too long, so I switched to simply Dmitri being summoned by her only to get pierced from behind by one of the Nightmare Emperor's claws. But THEN I just got lazy, so I hope just this is still good, "Katia dreaming/nightmaring about Dmitri".
On a side note: Zorryn, your awesome level os OVER NINE THOUSAND!! Just epic, dude! That's Win - Epic Win
If you see a king then knock everything into the air with your magic, including yourself and the king. If this translates to real life then you should wake up upon hitting the ground. Avoid using fire magic if you can since we don't want that to translate to real life.
Katia: Have you ever tried worshipping the King in your dreams? If so, how did it turn out? And did it have anything to do with your getting involved in dangerous cults?

Kataia: Dreams are a subconscious way to deal with emotional baggage. In dreams you know what monsters are? They're your fears, your doubts. A king is representative of authority, sometimes oppressive authority. The only way to defeat the monster you encounter in your dreams is to accept yourself, trust yourself and dispel this ridiculous belief that you are good for nothing.
I can't force you to do anything; I can try to help you by saying as I think many would say:
You are worth something. And if you can do just this one difficult thing, this one mission, You'll be taking a step to achieving the impossible. All people have limitless potential, the difference between achievement and failure is willpower. However, to conquer the obstacles of this journey, you must first conquer the obstacles within yourself. This creature, this monstrous beast is unwittingly a part of you. To defeat it is to accept yourself.
In the end it's all up to you. What will you choose to do? What will you will yourself to do, Khajiit?
