A digital illustration for the prompt “Dream” for Emetwol Week 2025. Using a lot of blues and purples, we can see a slightly younger Emet-Selch wearing the persona of Solus. He has a serene expression on his face, though his brows are slightly furrowed. He has long hair, which flows around him like the currents of a sea. Dressed in a white dress shirt, he appears to be sleeping, with his head resting on his gloved hand. Above him is a starry night sky, with constellations of both Azem’s symbol and his own, as well as the ghostly city of Amaurot, standing tall, shining bright. On the left, the Crystal Tower rises from his hair, glowing. Hidden in and above his hair are various tiny figures in silvery, ghostly white: Grani, galloping on the waves of Emet-Selch’s hair to the Crystal Tower; two hooded figures, looking at each other in a setting sun; two constellation stones, one has a few forget-me-nots growing on it; a moth with Azem’s symbol on it; a shoebill, looking questioningly at a tiny jumping spider; and three Elpis flowers, bound together. From the base of the Crystal Tower erupts the ghostly silhouette of Ardbert’s axe, coated in something white, which drips down onto the Elpis flowers below.
When stars forget to fade with dawn,
and echoes bloom where time has gone,
I see you, still--
our dream, our truth
our vanished sun.
I: Dream
