They caught wind of me, however, and destroyed the town in which we were holing up, wiping out a nearby university (the one that has appeared in my dreams before, a Roman ampitheatre-like area located off of a highway). I got him onto a train heading away, into the verdant countryside, but felt responsible for the destruction our presence had brought.
As some point in the dream I was trying to hide from my pursuers and came to a blank wall in what looked like an archaeological ruin. A group of children of various ages crowded nearby; I believe most, if not all, were female. Through a strange verbal ritual in which I called out a question and a child called back an answer, they spread their arms and became doors and windows.
The tone of the ritual was oddly reminiscent of Dead Can Dance's "Song of the Stars": "And who will make the way for me to pass over?" I called, and a child responded, "I will make the way for you to pass over," and walked into the wall...
