Rod Everlar, a writer of successful Cold War spy thrillers, starts dreaming about a medieval fantasy world. These dreams become increasingly vivid, and he starts jotting them down. On a whim Everlar submits a story about this dream world, Falconfar, to his usual publisher. It becomes a smash hit, as do the flood of sequels the publisher demands—and he’s increasingly happy to provide.
One night Everlar has a nightmare about one of the Aumrarr, the good winged warrior-women of Falconfar, being tormented by Dark Helms (sinister, evil black-armored warriors created by the computer company writers). The Dark Helms cut off her wings, gut her, and leave her for dead...and as Everlar awakens, screaming, she falls onto his bed from above, drenched in blood, gasping: “Mercy! Mercy!”
She pleads with him and explains that Everlar’s writings are changing her world (and that Falconfar existed before him, nourished by the dreams of many readers and changed many times by the writings of other fantasy authors before him). Rod is now regarded there as the great Archwizard, but is also increasingly feared as the Dark Lord, because of the darknesses his magics (the writings and game designs of the computer conglomerate) have created.
He is her world’s only hope and, she tells him, hers also. |
