Sleep visions
Your name is [ Justice ] and it's not really a name as it is a calling.
You tell the people that is your name because that is the most straightforward way for them to understand what you are. It isn't so much an issue about who you are; you don't have an identity so much as you have a mission. It's your essence. It's you.
Still, people encounter you in this form, in this human body, and they assume you have a name. They assume you are the human you inhabit. Maybe now you are; it doesn't change the fact that you are also an embodiment of Justice.
Living in this human body has been a complex process. There are limitations and needs you must consider now so that this body can continue to house you. In addition to that, you experience things in a different ways. Through new eyes, in multiple senses.
At night, you close your new eyes but you continue to see. Not what's directly in front of you, but perhaps a different plane. You're not sure. Visions of destruction come to you every five days—a measure of time that follows the cycle of the moon and sun, as well as the endless physical sensations your body endures—and you come to the conclusion that this is something you need to address.
One night, you see people collapsing in plumes of smoke, choking, dying. One night, you see buildings crash and drown people in endless rubble. One night, you see a sea of fire. It all ends in death. Pointless suffering. And at the head of it all, ten eyes penetrate through the darkness to stare at you.
Tonight, you sleep, expecting a new dream to bring you more information. You close your eyes and open them to witness waves of acid. Horrible heat emanates from the green liquid. Distantly, screams echo. You're in a village.
You're Justice, but you're also a paladin, and you feel compelled to help.
