—You know, I once told my brother that only those who are asleep will awaken, but you are not asleep. There wasn't any particularly deep meaning behind it, I think you understand... And yet, when a sleeping person wakes up, the first moments are as if they are still there, the images of their dreams are experienced so vividly, whether it's the darkest nightmare or pleasant, bright dreams. And who is he at that moment, a figure from oblivion, balancing on the border between sleep and reality... Perhaps this very dragon, threatening the empire, something like that, a creation of a nightmare, continues its destructive dream in reality, to the sorrow of all who are awake.
—That's an interesting thought. I'll probably even jot it down in my notebook to think about it properly later. —Klin takes out his diary and makes a short note. —Sleep and reality, yes, lately I've been thinking more and more about it myself. —"Because I can't sleep anymore myself," the knight added to himself. —Then let's hope that this "nightmare" ends soon, before it claims any more victims.

—Well, these are just idle thoughts, heh. But business is business, duty calls, and so on. Those who can close their eyes without worry and wake up in the morning with a clear head are fortunate, although I doubt there are many such people among the inhabitants of Margel right now. However, our brave squad will not stand aside in a difficult hour, and perhaps this time, Karneol is destined not just to serve his patron, but to accomplish a great good for ordinary people. To be honest, I didn't think I would ever be involved in something like this, but... times are changing. And if I can turn the course of history for the better, I will do it, and I have no doubt that each of us feels the same.
—I'm pleasantly surprised to hear such words, Garret. To be honest, when we first met, I assessed you as not a very reliable person... Don't be offended, that's in the past. But now I see that I was wrong. The main thing is, as a wise companion once advised me, "don't get too carried away with heroism." The common good is an important matter, but you never know when luck will turn away from you.

—And what about you, Klin? Since you're on leave, maybe it would be better to spend it away from Welfern until things calm down here? Spend some quiet time at a resort or something like that. Especially since you're not bound by any deadlines... Unless, of course, something important is keeping you here.
—That's a good idea, maybe I'll do that in the end. But... I wouldn't want to leave the city for such a reason. It would be like a cowardly rat being driven out of its burrow. I will leave Margel of my own free will, and not because of the enemy who has come to take over our home. And as Sir Quant noticed today, we shouldn't give in to panic. Even though I'm not in the best shape for combat right now, I can still be useful, at least at work.
