Disclaimer: I don't own either Zelda or Eberron. I just like writing about them.

A/N: For some reason, sending the quori to Hyrule seems like a good idea. Hey, they do know a lot about unreachable planes since they live on one. I hope you enjoy this intro.

"Don't look back, Sivizk! Don't look back!"

Sivizk, as always, couldn't help but do exactly the opposite. Behind him, about 800 yards back and galloping impossibly fast, were at least ten black horses- if you could call them that. Each had thirty legs and a long serpentine body. Their hooves were sharp and ended in three prongs that resembled the claws of an eagle. Ruby colored armor covered their broad backs and upon those, there were no riders. Intelligence burned in their emerald eyes that could not belong to any creature besides one- the kashikar quori. They would chase Sivizk to the ends of Dal Quor and back before giving up. And when they would catch him- for they certainly would- their preferred methods of punishment were far crueler than those of any other quori.

And they were catching up with Sivizk and his companion.

Terror leapt into his heart. Being a tsucora quori, he couldn't run fast. In fact, all he could do was slither as quickly as possible. Tsucora had no legs, only one long tail that ended in a vicious stinger. In an ocean or lake, that might've been an advantage, but in the bizarre forest on the Dal Quor fringes, the kashikar held every advantage.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa," Sivizk screamed before he got a hold of himself. He turned back around, flailing in front of him with his two pincers for anything that could aid in speeding up his flight.

Auraod didn't have that much of a problem. She had two strong legs to propel herself forward, away from their pursuers. As an unriaut quori, Auraod towered over many quori. If she didn't keep stopping to allow Sivizk to catch up, she might've stood a chance of escaping. But she was too loyal to abandon her friend.

"Come on, Sivizk!" the unriaut shouted back at her companion. "We can outrun them if you only try!"

Easy for you to say, Sivizk thought disdainfully. The forest floor was hard and scratched Sivizk's tail, making quick movement just that more difficult. If only he could get into someone else's dream, maybe one about drowning.

The two quori rushed through the trees, but the kashikar just kept getting closer. They were only about 500 yards away. Sivizk got even more scared. He didn't want to die for his crimes; he was too young, just 87 Quori years old.

Then they were in a clearing that leaned right up against a sheer cliff to their left. It was oval in shape and about 200 yards in diameter. Up ahead of them was a steep decline that led right up to a small village nestled in what looked like a shallow canyon. From his vantage point, Sivizk couldn't see anyone in it.

That didn't stop Auraod from running, though. She continued sprinting towards the village at full speed. Sivizk followed as fast as he could, glad that the clearing was covered in soft grass instead of exposed earth.

At the village's border, the duo leapt down into the ravine. Sivizk could hear the kashikar crashing through the forest behind them, but this time he didn't turn around. They twisted around the houses in continued flight.

They were almost to the other side of the clearing when a small figure stepped out from the trees ahead of them. It was human; Sivizk knew that much. He'd seen many during his time as an Inspired in Sharn. According to his knowledge, this human was a male child about half an adult's height. The little boy didn't look very strong, but it was a mite hard to tell what kind of body he had under the several layers of cloth he wore. As soon as he stepped out of the forest, he screamed.

Sivizk could guess that the human was the owner of the dream they were in, but he never could've expected what happened next.

As his scream grew in volume, the world around them dissolved in specks of light and darkness. Everything seemed to grow larger and smaller at the same time. Thought became difficult, and they were suddenly in a new place.

They were still on the edge of the forest, but it was night. And another thing became immediately evident. Everything was clearer than it was in a dream. The details were sharper, the smells were more distinct, and a slight breeze rustled the trees.

"Where in all the planes are we?" Sivizk whispered. He hadn't the faintest clue.

A/N: Oooh, what could possibly happen? Please review. If I get any comments, I'll try to update quickly.
