Dionysus You dream of a peaceful valley ringing with calming but beautiful music.

Jack_C Suite.

Dionysus A woman in white walks the fields.

Jack_C Is she singing?

Dionysus You can't tell.

Jack_C then I will watch and listen.

Dionysus She beckons to you.

Jack_C I approach.

Dionysus "The Mother is unable to hear us."

Jack_C "Us either."

Dionysus She smiles, "I meant you as well. But as her Champion, I am vested with a tiny fraction of her power."

• Jack_C bows.

Dionysus "You are very... vulnerable right now, like me. Otherwise, I couldn't reach you. I just wanted to tell you one thing: if she can't hear you, her servants can. This is still true."

Jack_C "So then...I'm bettin' I shouldn't pray unless it's real important."

Dionysus She shakes her head, as if to say no, but you wake up.

Jack_C no I'm wrong, or no I shouldn't?

Dionysus You have no idea.
