While the Dream Death God slept, Alka took his chance. A small marble of pink mist formed in Alka's hand, and he gently tossed it over. The marble softened in mid-flight before sticking to the Dream Death God.
The ball of black and white mist seemed to sense the disturbance and shifted back into the Death God's form. He swung his scythe left and right, apparently searching for the source of the movement. Meanwhile, Alka remained hidden behind a large bank of fog. Using the Dream Catcher, he could merge with the mist to conceal himself. In the Real World, this would be like Alka blending into stone and earth.
After a while, having apparently found nothing, the Death God-like dream creature departed. It moved farther away and hid behind another cloud formation to rest.
Alka closed his eyes. He could clearly sense the creature's position.
