"Will, I'm sorry."

"Sleep." She says, backing up the word by reaching out with her mind to try to make it so.

"Nnnn...no..." Will said, staggering back, and throwing one hand up, as if that was going to stop anything.

He staggered back and fell against one wall of his cell, crumpling onto the floor.

In Will's mindscape, the forest had gotten nearly out of control. Thick, colorful, Loraxian trees sprouted everywhere, engulfing the formerly barren mindscape.

The forest was alive with the sounds of wild animals.

Sam's avatar seems to flicker as she makes her way between the trees. Badb appears frequently, but only for a brief flash before being pushed back down into something more mundane. It's hard to see, but there's glimpses of other shapes as well as she navigates towards the feeling of the box.

There were enough bearings, and things seemed familiar enough, that should could head in the general direction of the box.

She was being stalked, though. Badb could sense it, at least, and the rest of her thought it was fairly clear, as well.

"These are my woods. What brings you here, NOW?" the Warrior said, slinking out from behind a tree.

His eyes were yellow slits, his hair ran down his back, wild and out of control. "I hunt here. You're either on my side, or my prey."
