There was no clear answer, but at least Riona had a direction now. She was still unsure whether the Nightshade Coven elders were right about killing Ol'gaz inside the dream—what if it killed Florian too?—but any clue, no matter how small, was better than nothing.
"Hey, ancestor! Do you know a way for me to enter Florian's consciousness without sleeping? I've been having trouble sleeping lately," Riona murmured, keeping her voice low so only her intended target could hear.
Even if Riona's consciousness was linked to Florian's through the dream, just as Lennix had suggested, it would all be useless if she couldn't fall asleep. The relentless nightmares had exhausted her, making sleep feel like an impossible task.
"I can't say for certain," replied the Fallen One, who hadn't slept since his death, cursed to exist as an invisible ancestor. "But I once heard about a door to consciousness—a gateway into someone's mind. The details, however, escape me."
