The changes had been difficult at first to deal with. Almost being able to see through your hands was a bit of a shock and unsettling. To help with it, she found herself wearing leather gloves. It might look odd to others, but to her, it helped with the perfect image she wanted to portray. And there were a lot of cute gloves out there! Various colors and materials. She could make this work with any outfit.

Once she grew more comfortable with the changes, she found herself wanting to go back into Dreams and helping as many as she could. And so she found herself spending more time in the Tavern and in Dreams. It would have to do until she could get a more private Hollow setup.

Amanda had been thriving and getting counseling, trying to move on with her life. So Sera found herself helping more of the women that came into the shelter. Easing their minds and healing their wounds.

In this Dream, Sera found herself in a dress of gauze like material, flowing around her from the breeze of her Mantle. Her face covered by an oversized hood. The woman was a bit more difficult to find, having shut herself away in the darkness. But there was no hiding from a determined Nix and Oneirophysic. Slowly, and carefully, she walked through the darkness, listening.

She didn’t have to look walk far; faint music could be heard as she got close. This woman wasn’t in the darkness, she had built herself a safe haven of sorts. It was almost like a fortress with stone walls, no windows, but there was a door. And inside, she could see the girl, sitting at a table and obviously doing something that brought her peace of mind. She appeared to be knitting. Though with an obvious struggle.

And Sera remembered the girl had a broken hand. A parting gift of her abuser, trying to take away something she loved.

The bruises stood out, like a beacon to the Treasured. Closing her sapphires eyes, she pictures the warm light once again, enveloping the woman in a gentle embrace. Her hands move as she imagines them touching the bruises, the blood vessels knitting back together as the colors fade from black to a dull yellow. Softly, Sera hums, a peaceful melody as marks fade, flesh heals and bones begin to mend.

As Sera backs out of the Dream, her humming slowly quieting into silence. Her work in the Dream done.
