Late night, Tuesday 16 September; the Abbey courtyard.
We've worked bloody hard on this, for weeks now. Those of us our Blessed Lady's trusted with her secret have been trying for ages to figure out how to get her back to where she belongs. She can't transform herself, so we thought: if we can't take her into dream, can we bring dream to her?
The gateway's took a lot of work to construct; a beautiful carved archway, with hundreds of careful sacred marks, like the ones I wear on my face. We began the incantations at nightfall. We'd open the gate to dream, and Nanshe could pass through it. Then we planned to shut the gate behind her, and the connection should be broken.
That was what was meant to happen. But instead a man came through it. Not a man. Something that looked like a boy with wings, and his eyes were a nightmare. When he looked at Brother Ash, Ash knelt on the cobbles and vomited. And the thing took hold of the gate, and ripped it away like it was paper.
Now the gate doesn't shut, and we can't fix it. It's been defiled. Nanshe help us all.
