Ninjagirly: Ninj here to tell ya all that I'm happy to be writing stories again! I hope you all like this story! I've had this idea buzzing in my head for awhile now.

Chapter one: Rune's Dream

Rune felt strange as she walked through a forest-like place. She thought she recognized the place but then again, maybe she was wrong?

"Hello, my angel," said a soft, loving voice. Rune turned and gasped. It was her lovely mother, Skakira.

"M-Mother?"

Skakira laughed. "Yes, 'Rune.'" Rune smiled when she used her new name. "Do you recognize this place?"

"Should I?"

"Oh, hon. I showed you pictures before when you were little. Well... I suppose you were quite young..."

Rune looked around then remembered. "This is the West side of Madagascar...?"

"Yes! You do remember!" Skakira said happily.

"Huh... Well... Why are you showing me this place anyways?"

"Lil Rune... have you ever thought of your father...?"

"My father?" Rune repeated. She paused and put her fist to her cheek. "No. Not since... well, now. I always sorta assumed he was... dead..."

"He isn't dead, sweetie..."

"R-Really?!"

"Yeah... You have a father... and an older brother along with some aunts, uncles, grandparents and cousins."

"Woah, woah, woah, Ma...! You're gonna get me a heart attack! Is that possible in a dream?" Rune's eyes widened. "I have blood relatives!! That's just... amazing!!"

Skakira laughed. "I'm glad you're taking this well. I thought you would be mad at me..."

"I could never be mad at you, Ma! I'm sure there's a reason you didn't tell me sooner. It's no big deal. I know now and that's all that matters!" Skakira smiled. "So, you're telling me my family's in Madagascar? I just have to meet them!"

"Then go, Rune. I'll be watching from above, okay?"

Rune nodded then hugged her mom tightly. "Okay. I love you, Ma."

"I love you too, my angel." Slowly, Skakira began to disappear and Rune felt herself slip from her dream. She wanted to stay, but she couldn't. She needed to wake up and tell the others...
