Dionysus You see a path before you, misshapen & unsure.

• Aurelia watches it for a few moments, then begins walking.

Dionysus Beside you to one side you sense Avery, the other, Bartleby.

Dionysus Beyond them, the rest of their respective bands.

• Aurelia looks at one, then the other, and smiles a little.

Dionysus You also notice a new, small path, extending from within you.

• Aurelia looks curiously at it, too, for a moment before walking on.

Dionysus You realize it follows you for a while, then begins slowly to emerge on its own, but some branches stop at strange places for it.

Aurelia Can I see where those places are?

Dionysus Figuratively speaking? Not entirely. Some of them mesh with paths you could choose, like walking into a Stillborn Cult fortress or killing yourself or...

Aurelia Alright.

Dionysus The path you're on eventually comes to a major crossroads when the child is 7 months old. One path leads to an unseelie child, one to a changeling, several to death, & then branches to every other fae race there is, even the nameless ones. If you follow the right paths, & they all adjoin properly, you might meet a being at the seventh month who will give you... options.

Aurelia Interesting.

Dionysus You hear a whisper, far off, "Jericho..."

Dionysus Unrelated to the paths

• Aurelia blinks and tilts her head, looking for the voice's source.

Dionysus A short, fat man is sitting nearby. "You look like a Jericho."

• Aurelia blinks again. "Jericho?"
• Aurelia shakes her head.

Dionysus "Definitely a Jericho." He spits, "I can't stands them."

• Aurelia watches him passively.

Dionysus He shrugs, "Oh, just wake up." He says, disgustedly, & you do.
