Actually I know lots of people who can. Gy can too, at least when he's older. But about all I can do is mark my name.
There are gates between worlds. That's what most people do. You find a gate, and you find someone with magic to take you through, and you're there. They call them gatewalkers, the people with the magic. That's what I am.
But this place is different. Imagine going through a gate, right, but stopping halfway through. Then you're in the between. It's this big empty space with gate tunnels floating in it, and if you're really good, you can go through it till you get to a totally different gate. Normally gates just go to one place.
And the dreaming is kind of like the between. I don't even know if they're the same place or just linked together. But I get here by going to a gate, or a portal, some people call them, and just stopping before I get to the other side.
Ua's the world that Gy and Sha are from. Tapolith's a kind of center, it's got gates to Ua and a lot of other places. I think Ua used to have a gate to Earth, but it got closed. Karn's only got one gate, and it's kind of isolated. We definitely don't have spaceships. But I guess they'd work like gates, right?
Here. I'll show you something I found. *pulls off the backpack, reaches in, and in, and in, until her arm's impossibly buried all the way to the shoulder. Comes up with an ink palette made of black stone and a feathered brush with a coil of leather tying it to the palette.*
I got this on a world called Saskha. You mix the ink powder in here, see, and then you make marks with it, and then they make things happen. I only know how to do one thing with it. *paints a little circle on the ground, around one of the couch legs, then hauls on the couch with all her might. It slides in an arc, slowly, the one leg never leaving the painted circle.*
And of course it works here, cause this is the dreaming. But if it was the real world, it would do the same thing.
