Dreamers studied these strange oddities, but to no avail could find no apparent reason for the sudden erosions. Then late one evening, the dark three, Rahib, Zeid, and Idris, visited all the houses. The dark three stood upon the crevices and began evoking dreamquake at the first couple houses they visited. Dreamers began wising up and realizing what they were trying to do. Members of PoR and DoL after having seen the madness they were causing, the dark three were unable to stay coherent long enough to evoke their quakes at these houses. Upon the collapses of these beings, a deep voice rang throughout the facades, stating that with every collapse of these beings the cracks widened.
It seems the fall of the houses were inevitable, for dreamers of all houses awoke that night, and dreamt the next day only to find they had been demoted from their homes and all houses had crumbled to the ground with large canyons now in front of each house.
I say inevitable, for all houses fell, both those who allowed the dark three to quake and those that didn't.
Dreamers of all beliefs hearts sunk that dream, but this event was taken with much stride as dedicated hearts soon began rebuilding.
At Dreamers of Light, members bonded together one eve, and brainstormed ideas to get the house back in order and hopefully aid in its reopening.
It was decided that before we could begin repairs on the house itself, we needed a way to get across the canyon easier and also needed an easier way for visitors and newly awakened guests to aid. So it was decided that building a bridge across would be our first step.
A discussion was held in the Ilapse Sanctuary and brainstorming was done on how and with what would we be able to create a bridge. Someone suggested the use of shields in its creation, because of the durability.
I did some research and estimated some measurements on what would be needed to construct this bridge of shields. After a deep study into shields, I deducted that only the best of shields would do.
I overestimated quite a bit, but all in all our goal had been set. The bridge would need 3 layers. The bottom two layers being constructed of shields no less than pure sand or better for strength and stability. The top layer of no less than night sand for durability with less absorbtion.
As Dreamwrights of the past used reweave to patch the walls of the dreamstate, we too would use reweave to bind the shields together.
In addition, we used the tokens of the imprisoned mares much like needed and thread with the shields.
Now that we had the tools to meld the shields together, we needed a way to connect it to the permanent dreamstate. In this we would need the aid of the eldest member of the house, and the aid of the Light itself.
After the shields were donated and binded together, all present gathered their hands together and a small ceremony with a poetic verse was used to draw on the Light's strength.
And unto the Light, we build this bond...
Within our family, the Light lives on...
A bridge of shields is what we build,
For faith, devotion, and love shall shield our guild
Saving souls, we strive for what is right...
We seal this gap in the name of the Light!!!
As a final touch, Valourin, Elder of the Light, used his own special weaving skills and used the strength of the Sceptre of Light, a specially crafted Blade of Light, to give the ceremony a final kiss.
Dedicated members and friends performed this event twice a week for several months and the bridge began to transfrom into solid pieces. Finally hard work and dedication paid off, the members of Dreamers of Light have a beautiful bridge on thier facade made from blood sweat and tears but most of all ...love.
