Xenn’s dream… the robe of Sagain… from Elfdreams 7

The redness cleared. A young orange skinned male stood with his back to Xenn. The visitor to Xenn’s dream wore a green robe identical to the artifact Xenn’s mother had found in Sylvan Pond.

Xenn spoke, “What trickery is this?”

The visitor turned and Xenn looked upon himself.

Xenn said, “Leave my sleep! Rest has eluded me.”

The visitor to his dream answered, “All in good time! Tell me… why do you not wear your robe?”

Xenn said, “Obviously, it’s green. I’d stand out in the forest like a sore thumb!”

The Dream visitor replied, “You stand out anyway. It’s a Robe of Sagain, you dumb ****** ******! Only a handful survive. It’s just hanging in your closet! S**t fire! You don’t know its value. A Light Sorceress seamstress constructed the robe from silk of Sagain, the feathers of the snow-white Phoenix, one of the three shypoke scales remaining in the Laurels, and the scales of a prismatic dragon. Moreover, the seamstress risked death as she tenuously placed a jet-black Tuscon feather within the fabric of the device. Once placed in the robe, the Magick of the robe harnessed the malevolent force within the jet-black feather and instead instilled a protection against Death Magick upon the wearer of the cloak. The robe is patterned like the ancient robe of the Order of Light Sorcerers. The properties of silk of Sagain included the facility to adapt to the size of each wearer of the garment. The Light Sorcerers cherished the spiders that created the silk. The tiny arachnids required two centuries to produce the silk needed to create the robe. The silk had been used to create little black dresses which had adorned many young women during their ceremonies of commitment. Even more rare were the adamantine spiders that created the slender cords that the sorceress used to bind the silk and other materials. The robe has many hidden pockets. It’d give great advantage in a conflict with another Spellcaster, and it hangs in your ****** closet!”

Xenn timidly said, “It’s green!”

The visitor replied, “Amazing! It contains a prismatic dragon scale within its folds! It can be any color you want! Its last wearer wanted green!”
