[People who absolutely paid attention to their dream with the Storyteller, had Several Questions, then woke up and dismissed it all: Damen.]

The Storyteller. [See? He pays attention sometimes.] He said something about . . . stories providing power and important ponds, but I don't really understand how ponds can be used to transport a person.

[This is one of the reasons why he figured the dream was just a dream: when it was run through the universal translator, "mana pool" may or may not have been just been translated as "la mare" for him. The universal translation thing may or may not work so well when it's using your second language and your vocabulary isn't as large.]
