As Strong As Old Era Myths

Arthur's face stiffened. 

He couldn't help but recall how many of them had died during the Sphinx mission. 

He listened to Sean.

"In those dreams, Neo didn't injure your Shadow in the first encounter.

"That's not all. I… 

"I did something horrible. Something so horrible that it almost cost us our lives…" 

Sean stared at the table, unable to lift his gaze and look into Arthur's eyes.

A single semester at the academy opened his eyes and showed him the limits of mystical quantities. 

"They are not dreams, they are...."

Arthur didn't complete his sentence. 

"Yeah, I know.

"The timing says it all."

Sean picked the glass of water and gulped it down.
