Luna dreams while awake and sleeps through her days before Hogwarts, during her years at school and the war, and in the decades of so-called peace after. She drifts, listening and watching, remembering the future and envisaging the past. The wind whispers, raindrops murmur truths and lies, possibilities in potentia, could-have-beens and never-weres. The waking world tries to pull her in, catch and keep her, but always she follows the shadows away to sunshine and moonbeams, petals beneath her feet, in her hair-

In the dark fathoms of space, on the pathway of stars, River dreams while awake and sleeps through [days]. She dances in and out of galaxies, listening as planets and stars and moons speak the oldest and newest secrets of space and time, yesterday and tomorrow always never. In the silent deepest dark, further than anyone has dreamt of going back and back and back to the beginning of the homeworld where humans first walked, River reaches, dreamer to dreamer, listener to listener, seer to seer, fingertip to fingertip-

Standing on the wall, hair loose and wild in the roaring wind as the storm batters the greatest city in the world, Cassandra listens to the gods plan and plot the end of everything she has ever known. She has warned her parents, her siblings, the priests and scribes and merchants and artisans and everyone she passes on her daily walk, voice trembling and tears dripping down her face. No one believes her, and only her status as daughter of the king keeps her from being driven out as a nuisance. Slowly, eyes closed, she descends from the wall to the ground. The world she knows, the city and kingdom and people she loves, all will fall, burn, crumble and be forgotten-

Sister, Luna calls

Sister, River calls

Cassandra holds out both her hands, eyes open, and lets them catch her through dreams and space and time-

Remember, Cassandra pleads

Remember, Luna promises

Remember, River avows
