You say: Take me back. Take me back to the end of the dream.[break]
He simply smiles, and disappears, a door appearing in his place.

RECIPE FOR CHANGING THE WORLD[break]
Save someone doomed to die

You are back in your dream-self, your old self. It's like wearing a glove that fits you after eon of having your hands bound by shackles. Somewhere, that 'real' branch of you is finishing an exhale, a single breath that has been stretched over twenty years. Above, the Skeleton and the Black Knight war with each other, the world an afterthought. In a few [minutes? seconds?] a pillar of light will descend and erase Helia, a girl you have raised from infancy 'til she was old enough to make her own way in life.

She will not 'die', because to say that scorching ray 'kills' is to say it thinks about its victims at all. She will not 'die', because at the end of all of this there will be a single person in all of creation who will mourn her. So you run, through the chaos, looking for where you know she will be, stumbling through things that don't matter, things that will resolve with or without you.

'Come with me.' There is not enough time to explain why she must, but Helia trusts you, and trusts the urgency in your voice, to do as you say. The pillar of light crashes down onto nothing more than empty earth.

And across the way, you see another of yours fall, swallowed up by poisonous sludge. The war carries on without them. And the dream ends.

RECIPE FOR CHANGING THE WORLD[break]
'Send me back,'

You say, in that liminal space where you move from dream to reality, from past to present. The listener agrees, because if they do not they will have gained little of value.

Save someone doomed to die

'Come with me.' The pillar of light crashes down onto nothing more than empty earth.

Save someone doomed to die

The race only grows and grows. You move as fast as you can through the battlefield,

'Come with me.' This time you seize them, dragging them away before they can fight back. There is too little time to explain, and you must run too far to do anything less forceful.

The toxins find their home on the wilting grass. And in the distance, someone else you know is crushed by falling rubble.

'Come with me.' The pillar of light crashes down onto nothing more than empty earth.

'Come with me.' The toxins find their home on the wilting grass.

'Come with me.' The rubble turns to dust on fractured road. And in the distance, a bullet of water cuts cleanly through someone's temple.

'Send me back.'

'Come with me.' The bullet gouges out a trench in the dirt. And in the distance, someone you know burns to death in a ball of fire.

'Send me back.'

'Come with me.' The flame eats at the air, and nothing more. And in the distance, someone you know...

'Send me back.'

'Come with me.' But in the distance...

'Come with me.' But in the distance...

'Send me back.'

'Come with me.' Always in the distance.

'Send me back.'
Save someone doomed to die

'Come with me.' Your voice is getting sore. But you're running out of people to save. And then the war you came here to wage will begin.

RECIPE FOR CHANGING THE WORLD[break]

~~Save someone doomed to die~~

Done. Next.

Kill a hero-god

The world is ending. Look at it slip away. But if they die... If fate is undone, everything will go on like it was meant to. Why should a dream be so fleeting? Why should a world not be allowed to rise from the ashes? All of this, all of this was but a split second in the world they had come from. Letting it play out for a while longer wouldn't harm anyone. There would be another way for those who wanted to leave to leave. And if there wasn't, why should he give a damn? The lives of the many outweighed the lives of the few; wasn't that considered the most moral view on the world?

The Fighting Master charges at the Black Knight. Your hammer crashes into its side; it doesn't flinch.

It's a god, after all.

Kill a hero-god

When your hammer finally caves in its skull, nothing happens. Reality unravels, like it was always destined to do. And in that liminal space where you move from dream to reality, from past to present, you do not have enough voice left to speak out.

You awake on the floor of your apartment, agonisingly pristine. Your voice is not sore, your muscles do not ache, your heart does not race. It was all just a dream. A thing of the mind. You want to scream, something deep and primal, but your body does not understand this wish. So you lie there, trapped in flesh and bone.
