Cassie's Dream was disjointed, full of weird symbolism and vague, uncertain images. It was much more like a charlatan's prophecy than a vision gained through an Aspect Ability.[1]

History

Note: Click Show Spoilers to reveal.

One day, on their journey to the Human Castle, Sunny and Nephis were woken up by a scream from Cassie. Without knowing what caused it they let her calm down on her own while Nephis taught Sunny the way to use his sword.[2] After she calmed down she told Sunny and Nephis her vision.[1]

In the last confrontation between Nephis and Sunny in the Crimson Spire, it was revealed that Cassie was the first one to understand the meaning of her vision. She knew that the two of them will end up fighting each other and Nephis was going to lose or even die. She didn't know how, when, and why but she told Nephis about Sunny's secret, hoping to save her life.[3] That is why Cassie asked Sunny to protect Nephis no matter what, but the latter refused.[4] She was forced to choose between her two best friends and she chose Nephis, thinking maybe both of them would survive. She knew about the secret because she saw it in a vision with Harper and the rest was a conclusion from what Sunny told her about his First Nightmare.[5][6]

The Vision

"At first, I saw a… a boundless darkness locked behind seven seals. Something vast was churning in the darkness. I felt like if I directly saw it, I would lose my mind. As I watched, terrified, the seals broke one after another, until only one remained. And then that seal broke, too.[note 1]"

"After that… I don't know. It was as though my mind shattered into a thousand shards, each shard reflecting its own image. Most of them were dark and scary. Some I have already forgotten. The other…"

"I saw the human castle again. Only this time, it was at night. There was a lonely star burning in the black skies, and under its light, the castle was suddenly consumed by fire, with rivers of blood flowing down its halls.[note 2] I saw a corpse in a golden armor sitting on a throne;[note 3] a woman with a bronze spear drowning in a tide of monsters; an archer trying to pierce the falling sky with his arrows.[note 4]"

"In the end, I saw a colossal, terrifying crimson spire. At its base, seven severed heads were guarding seven locks.[note 5] And at the top, a… a dying angel was being consumed by hungry shadows. When I saw the angel bleed, I suddenly felt as though… as though something so precious that it can't be described with words was taken from me.[note 6]"

"Then, I felt so much sorrow, pain and rage that what little remained of my sanity seemed to disappear. That was when I woke up… I think."

  3. ↑ The corpse in the golden armor was Gunlaug, who had died on his white throne, killed by Nephis' hand.[10][7]
