Disclaimer: I own all of Misty's work! Really, I do! *sarcasm*

You know I don't. I'm just Fireblade K'Chona, devoted fan. Yee. Applause for me.

I had this messed-up dream about Lord of the Rings mooshed into Warcraft II...*is weirded out*

This is a one-shot. ONE-SHOT. SO don't ask me for more-I'll probably respond to reviews, though.

Muse responsible: This one's from Chaesa.

The formless energy that I was swirled in the Grove-

Still in my natural form, I Looked around the fringes and saw-

The people I led. The wise, worthy souls encased in bodies of silken manes and satin hides, silver hooves and blue eyes deep as the seas, graceful as dancers, ethereal-

Unearthly.

And yet, they were bound in and of the earth, bound to Choose the right ones to protect Valdemar, bound to protect it themselves, in need.

They looked upon me as their leader, waiting for me to truly come and become as they, yet never as they.

With that peculiar twist of energy, I Shifted into the form I wore, a graceful stallion, and with it-

I felt the needs and limitations of this fragile form, fragile enough to be crushed in a burst of energy, yet strong as the earth itself.

And I felt the Call, the call of a soul akin to my own, as I looked over my people once more.

I heard the word they spoke, with one voice, into my mind-

:Grove-Born.:

That was weird.
