Stepping off the lightly rocking ship, Luke Robinson took a deep breath of the salt-filled air, relishing in the gentle breeze rolling off the Cerenarian Sea over the port city of Celephaïs. [...] Waiting for him at the end of the dock, a lavishly dressed man reached out to him with open arms. “Luke! My friend, it has been too long. Come, let us drink and be reacquainted with one another!” [...] Luke shook his head. “Soon, Kuranes. You know I would love nothing more.” He grimaced. “But it is not for want of friendship that I come to Celephaïs today. Something terrible stirs in the north. I can feel it.” [...] Kuranes turned, gazing into the distance. “The Lord of Kadath wakes.” Luke shook his head. “We do not know for certain—” Kuranes raised a hand to silence him. “No. You know it is true. He is planning something. All the realms of humanity stand upon a precipice.” Luke shivered, despite the pleasant warmth of the noon sun, drawing his coat around him. “And the Dreamlands are no exception.”
