As I leveled up...

I dreamt. I knew that I was dreaming because the vision before me was blurry, inconsistent, unclear.The dream suddenly became more focused, slightly clearer...

An enormous jellyfish with a hollow, diatom like body, even bigger than the whale jellyfish had arrived. The two ghostly creatures screeched at each other in ultrasonic, producing a disturbing cacophony. I wondered if they would fight over me, getting ready for a fun observational experience.The diatom-shaped jellyfish suddenly stopped screeching and released hundreds of copies of itself from its innards. The little monsters attacked the whale-jellyfish from all directions, nipping at it with small blade-like threads. The Phantom-Whale creature screeched and rushed away, chased by the swarm of little monsters.The hollow jellyfish turned towards me. It slowly circled the barrier, without slamming into it.In panic, I realized that it had intelligence. It looked like it was prodding the shield for a weak spot, for a fracture. It had eventually found one and I could do nothing, for I was but a tree bound to the warmth of the battery. The abomination opened its grotesque maw and released a blinding beam of light into my direction.

As it struck me, my Astral roots ignited, burning up from below.
