Editing CrimsonStar:Alecto (section)

==Star Dream==
You are on a puppetry stage. It seems huge and brightly lit by a blood-red light. You realize that the
marionette that is being played for the audience is you. At first the puppet master is your mother,
laughing. She asks, “Who is your mistress?” In a childlike singsong voice, you answer, “You are, mother.”
The audience is made up of sacrificial victims, each bearing a red star tattoo. They boo and hiss as
blood gushes from their wounds. “Who is your master?” booms the voice of Kalak himself. In a childlike,
singsong voice, you answer, “You are, God-King Kalak.” Again, the audience boos and hisses. The third
puppeteer is you, clearly dead by sacrificial right. “Who will save the children of the star?”

The scene changes. There is a massive battle. You are overlooking the chaos. An armored legion is
standing at the ready beside you. “Mistress…orders?” asks a somewhat nervous soldier. “I think it high
time we show up my sister, don’t you? Forward.” The order is issued on your authority and yours alone.

Your vision turns to a red light from a star that seems to bleed. You wake up with a tattoo.
