The rooms provided to us were small and cozy, with a fireplace that burned on mana and windows that opened toward the rising sun. They seemed to be repurposed from a noble's guest suite, being more a complex of rooms rather than individual units. Korra and Gayron claimed the master bedroom, and R'lissea and I ended up together in what felt like a servant's room. Elise, through virtue of her title in Blacksand, was given her own space nearby.
I crawled into bed as R'lissea opened a tome next to me and quickly fell asleep, lulled by her soft breathing. The night passed slowly, one vision fading into the next, as I searched for any sign of ninth-level mages. After a hundred or so empty dreams, I found myself standing on a cliff overlooking a city harbor.
