Artemis was having a dream.

He was very aware of this, yet he could not change the dream in any way.

In his dream he was dead.

He was lying in a crypt, and there was someone next to him.

A pixie entered the room; Opal Koboi. She reached out and touched his forehead, and it felt like he was on fire.

The other person on the slab got up and began to move in a primal, animalistic way.

Artemis felt a low growl escape his throat.

Sharp teeth, vicious growl...

He lunged...

And then he was awake.

Now why would he have a dream like that?

"Etiam si alia regeneramur ad vitam, hoc invenient invicem."

Artemis remembered the woman who was so often in his dreams.

No matter what it took; he would find her.
