Chloe found herself standing on Sovereign's beach. Her feet were in the ocean, the small waves rising from her toes to her ankles, back and forth. She glanced upwards at the sky; it was somewhat dark and gloomy, yet she didn't seem to mind.
Standing still, Chloe looked about; with the land barren and empty, she turned around to view the sea. At first, she saw nothing of interest, but then something caught her eye. It was a body of a man, drifting towards the shoreline where she stood. As it washed up, Chloe noticed that he was clutching an old sword. Then, ignoring it, she knelt down to check if the man was alive.
Above her, there was a sudden cry from an eagle. Chloe looked directly up at the clouds, trying to find where it was. After a moment's search, she gave up. Turning her head back towards the man, she wasn't able find him, either. Now, feeling a strong presence behind her, she turned around. There on the sand stood another person, shrouded in black. She didn't really know who this was, but somehow she knew that had to be Akura. With violent speed, the figure's arm reached up towards Chloe's throat, and ...
... she awoke. Gasping for air, she realized that she was still in Lambert's living room, leaned back on the couch. The only difference being that she's now tucked underneath a fluffy yellow blanket. It was early dawn, and the orange sunlight spilled through the drawn curtains. Chloe let out a sigh, thinking, "What happ... I must have fallen asleep, most rude of me. But what's this silly blanket?" She laughed at herself, then wondered, "What am I supposed to do now?"
"You see what your knowledge tells you you're seeing. ... how, what you think the universe is, and how you react to that in everything you do, depends on what you know. And when that knowledge changes, for you, the universe changes. And that is as true for the whole of society as that is for the individual. We all are what we know, today. What we knew yesterday, was different; and so were we."
- James Burke, The Day the Universe Changed (1985)
