"...that is true." Leo responded.

"And I DO have some questions... but they're more personal and involved, and we don't have the time to discuss it right now." he muttered.

"Oh, but... well, I have SOME control over what dream you'll have, but it's not perfect." he then said.

"Care to tell me what some of your best dreams have been about?" he asked her.

"That way I can make sure that the Bahmar comes for the bait." he reasoned.

"........." Leo was silent as the women had their exchange, before sighing quietly.

"Very well." he said.

"Then I will give you such a dream." he told her.

He then paused for a moment, and smiled slightly, almost to himself.

"All right, that's all I have to ask." he said.

"Miss Sierra, if you have no more questions, I think it's time we get started." he told the banshee.

"Depends." Leo replied.

"Could be a couple of minutes, could be up to a half-hour." he told her.

"But we need to watch her." he said.

"We need to watch her expressions. As soon as she starts to change from peaceful to disturbed, we need to enter the dream and deal with the Bahmar." he explained.

"Hollie, your dream will briefly become a nightmare." he warned the mage.

"But please endure it. It won't be for long."

Leo nodded as well.

"All right." he replied.

"Here we go." he told them.

With that, he took a pinch of sand from a very special, tiny pouch, and sprinkled the tiniest bit over Hollie, allowing it to fall all around her face.

As they landed, she felt herself grow VERY tired, as her world turned slowly black... but she soon found herself in a comfy cozy secluded little cabin...

...with a very familiar man sitting by the fireplace.

Leo nodded when she said she was ready, and grabbed some sand from yet another pouch he had.

He rubbed some in his hands an looked at her.

"Here... we... go!" he declared, clapping his hands together, and causing the sand to envelop them.

Meanwhile, inside Hollie's dream, she and the male had been cornered by a large shadow with red eyes, and it looked ready to pounce on the both of them...

...until Leo and Sierra suddenly appeared between the monster and its prey.

"It worked!" Leo exclaimed, before conjuring some 'earplugs' and tossing them towards Hollie and the man.

"Put them in! Now!" he ordered them, as the creature started to back away.

"Miss Sierra! Start yelling! Quickly!" he said to Sierra.

Thankfully, Hollie and the man had put the earplugs in, so they would be mostly immune from it.

Leo, however, just covered his ears and watched the creature.

Its shadow-like appearance seemed to shrink immensely, and it seemed to look more... physical. It had a small trunk for a nose, nightmarish sharp jagged teeth, strange dragon-like scales, a centipede-like tail, and large cloven hooves for feet.

"Keep going!' Leo said to her.

"It's stunned! Go higher-pitched!" he ordered.

Everyone there was plugging their ears... but Leo's seemed to be bleeding a little.

However, after a few seconds, the creature screamed out in sheer pain and agony, before there was a sickening popping sound, and it collapsed to the floor... some liquid pooling out around its head.

Leo then rushed in front of Sierra, and nodded quickly.

Essentially, he was trying to silently tell her 'enough! It's dead!'

Leo just looked at her, taking his hands away from his ears, blood still trickling from them.

"I'll be fine." he replied.

"....despite how this looks, and says, the opposite." he said.

"It'll be fine." he said further.

He then looked at Hollie and the man, and waved his hand some.

"You two all right?" he asked them when they took out the earplugs.

"That couldn't have been pleasant." he commented.

Leo just sighed, and smiled.

"Good." he responded.

"That... should do it, then." he said further.

He then walked over to the corpse of the dead creature, and thought for a moment. After he was done thinking, he caused sand to swirl around the body, before it encased it, and seemed to crush it down into a small compact ball. He then made it disappear.

"Sent to The Order. Specifically, hazardous waste disposal." he told them with a wry chuckle.

"Now, if there's nothing else, Miss Sierra and I will not intrude upon your dream any longer." he finished.

Leo nodded.

"According to Azazel, it was just the one." he said.

"Let us be off." he told Sierra, before the two of them disappeared in a swirl of sand, appearing back in the living room of Hal's home, where Hollie was still peacefully sleeping.

"Welp, that's that." he commented, before looking at Sierra.

"That scream is really something." he told her.
