So here is a question I'm going to pose to everyone who considers that we won the war-
Did we?
I have a theory and I think we have a more serious issue at hand than the Strega. In essence I think that the Strega was a ploy. I've been studying chaos theory like this for a long time and have experienced this type of breaking point before.
The realization came before the conflict last week.
Think of it like this-
The Fey said they were all pushed forth from their homes by the Strega. They said that the Strega was the destroyer, the unraveler of the weave. But the Strega wasn't there to kill... she was there to seperate us, to force us into a position were Crochevia could be torn from it's place in the prime realm. For a few hours the town was displaced into what I believe was a portion of the dream realm or perhaps a level of the figment realms.
However something I have studied about dreams is remarkable... you must want things to occur. You must spiritually need the dream or the dream loses itself and unfolds. It's one of the fundamental rules of living in dream or nightmare- the ability to focus thoughts and need into a physical manifestation. Without the thought and the need- the dream ceases to exist.
I believe the town and most of it's inhabitants are in the dream realm or something very similiar and have been for some time. Months or even years perhaps. I believe something may actually be containing this realm for some other reason.
This theory gained more wieght when it was claimed they somehow held the town from the realm to protect it while everything else was repaired. But why? Why would one little town need such special protection? Why did the rest of the world fall apart and we did not? Why would this town be that much more important than the rest of the world and the millions of living beings in it? Why did we need protecting and they did not?
Because our dream is only ours. Because the only thing that was keeping this city and it's inhabitants alive was our cognitive ability to rationalize the town and the people in it. Everything outside of town, the people, the roads, the countries... everything else fell apart because the people trapped here gave up hope.
I think something kept many of the townfolk caged like pets and when the *need* to be back in the world was real enough, important enough, and wanted enough..... the rest of the dream realm solidified into the prison of imagination and dreams. So how do you encourage this? You create an enemy so hated that people are *happy* to recreate the dream. I don't know if anyone died or not a few days ago and the simple question of the matter is left to conjecture. I can't even really say that anyone is a real entity, except for the few individuals who are spiritually bonded to somewhere else and have traveled outside of this realm.
Nightmares and dreams only exists in the subtle conjection of thought.
