As the late night mists swirl near the placid waters of Riverside Park, some of the Lost of Sacramento find themselves unable to sleep... with good reason. Degnar and Dominyk have both had recurring dreams over the past few weeks which have awoken them with cold sweats and racing hearts. Some of the time they are fleeing fearsome predatory beasts, and other times they are the hunters seeking their terrified quarry through a tangled wilderness of Thorns and Fear. Images of Riverside Park are jumbled with scenes from the Hedge, however one constant is the sorrowful face of a beautiful woman that pulls at each of the Winter Courtiers in a way that neither can explain. Perhaps other changelings have also felt the ripples of these nightmares disturbing their own dreamscapes, leaving them similarly sleepless and questioning. Then again, it is possible that one or two only feel a certain restlessness on this dark night and a need for quiet and solitude. Regardless of their individual motivations, the changelings find themselves converging at the park near a certain hedge gate that had recently been quite a nuisance to both Degnar and Dominyk. Maybe with the help of others like them, they can figure out how to finally get a good nights sleep once more.
