Maria fell asleep, still clutching to Set's hand...

In her dream, she was wearing the same clothes she was wearing in real life.

Unlike real life, she was standing in a gigantic ballroom, almost identical to the on in Tee's castle.

She wandered into the room, seeing how it was packed to the brim with people.

Maria spotted Isis and Jaryl dancing in the middle of the room.

She ran over to them. "Isis! Jaryl! What is going on?"

There was no response. They didn't even look in her direction.

She waved her hands in front of their face and still got no response.

Maria growled in frustration. "Why can't anyone see me?"

She spotted Cyrus, sitting in the corner with a Breton girl, talking to her. "Cyrus!" Maria hissed.

Still no response.

Maria sighed. She then looked up, startled, to see a large majority of the companionship talking in a corner.

Set, Julie, and Solaris weren't among them.

From the stage, a voice yelled, "Okay, okay. Quiet down!"

The music stopped playing, and everyone turned to the stage, quietly.

An Imperial man stood on the stage, and said, "Welcoming the Heroes of the World!

Here we have, Set, of the Tree-People!" Set walked on stage, dressed in the finest of clothes. He waved to the crowd, who began to cheer.

"Next we have Julie, of Azura's folk!" Julie walked on stage, dressed in a red silk dress. She took Set's arm and kissed him. The cheers grew even louder.

"And finally, we have Solaris of the Rising Sun!" Solaris walked onstage, the emblem of the Rising Sun proudly displayed on his robes.

When the cheers died down, Julie walked to the front of the stage. "Thank you for being here." She said, and Maria couldn't help but notice that her throat scars were gone. "We are just ordinary people, like you."

Solaris laughed from the back. "Except, you know, we saved the world."

The people laughed along with him.

Julie continued, "We did it. Just the three of us."

From somewhere in the middle, a flag rose up from the crowd.

To Maria's astonishment, it had her own face on it.

"What about Maria?!"

Set frowned, and whispered something to Julie, who smiled.

Solaris remarked, "Who is Maria?"

The group of people carrying the flag shouted, "The Blade captain! Isis the Telepath and Cyrus the Strong are her children!"

"Oh, that Maria." Julie smirked.

Solaris said, "She tried to run, and she died for it. Maria Harin is no hero."

A person in the middle shouted, "What does Set think of her name being erased from existence?"

Set turned away, looking upset. Julie glanced at Solaris, who walked over to Set and whispered something to him.

Julie said, "Please do not aggravate my husband."

Husband?

Julie continued, "If Maria had her way, we would not be living under our Daedric Overlords."

...

Maria awoke with a start, still clutching to Set's hand. Please ell me that wasn't real...
