The scene felt familiar. The tall trees…the mountainous view…the rivers…the lake...everything. Everything was familiar and the scene felt just right to her. She closed her eyes for a moment and then opened them again. As she looked at her surroundings for a second time she realized that everything seemed perfect and just as she remembered. She was home and she was going to fix everything and make it up to her family…

She was riding her horse, Baelruil (guardian noble). She felt the wind blowing in her face. The woman egged Baelruil to go faster she was determined to reach the river before he did. She felt him gaining on her. She urged Baelruil again and suddenly she was in the clearing and got off of Baelruil. She turned to her look at her husband who had gotten off of her horse, Brego. "I beat you again," she told him when he wrapped his arms around her.

"Yes, just as you always do, mela" replied the man. He turned the woman around to face him. The man cupped her chin and brought his lips to hers…

Abby woke up in a flash. The dream seemed so real it was like a distant memory. She remembered that day very clearly as though it had just happened the day before. She slowly sat up and got off her bed trying not to wake her roommate as she made her way to the bathroom. As she turned the sink on and splashed cold water onto her face, she wondered why she was dreaming about Middle Earth again. It had been a while since she had dreamed about it, the last time being when she first arrived to Boston.
