I'm so happy of the positive response this story has gotten, thank you all.
Vixen awoke and bolted right up in her bed with a start, cold sweat running down her face, and her heart was running a mile a minute. 'Breath Vixen, just breath.' Vixen thought to herself as she started talking slow deep breathes in an attempt to calm down, and after a few minutes, her heartbeats returned to normal. After a few minutes of sitting in her bed, she rose from her sweat covered sheets and stood next to double-doors/window that was inside of her room. Gazing outside she could see the rolling hills that resided in the distance, illuminated by the full moon that orbited her world. 'Why did I have this dream?' she asked herself as she opened the doors and stepped unto her balcony and rested her arms upon the railing of the balcony. 'Who was that partial skeleton warrior, why did those horrible creatures slaughter those people, and why did that woman look like me?' Vixen's mind kept forming more questions with no answers. 'Why was my father there?' she asked herself as she thought about why her father Crusader was there...
-Later-
"Morning young Vixen." her fathers robotic butler greeted Vixen as she walked into the kitchen. You are dressed nicely, what is the occasion?" her butler said in a curious tone as he noticed she was wearing a pair of dress pants and a dress shirt, she could almost be confused for a lawyer.
"Charlie, I want you to drive me to the capital." Vixen instructed Charlie, which earned a curious look from Charlie.
"Might I ask why?" Charlie asked.
"I need to speak with my father–" Vixen began but Charlie raised a hand to silence her.
"I'm sorry young master, I can take you to the capital, but I cannot take you to your father." Charlie informed Vixen in an apologetic tone.
"Might I ask why?" Vixen asked in a slightly annoyed tone, which did not go unnoticed by Charlie.
"Your father is having an important meeting with no other than madam Elise herself." Charlie informed Vixen, and to his surprise, Vixen's face lit up.
"That's perfect, I can talk to them both then." Vixen said in a determined tone.
"I'll repeat myself, I can take you to the capital, but I cannot take you to your–"
'I'm giving you an order Charlie." Vixen said in a stern tone, which made Charlie take a step back. "Take me to my father!" Vixen ordered, and that made Charlie give a mechanical sigh.
"Very well." Charlie finally said after a moment of contemplation.
-Later-
Vixen quickly stepped into her fathers office expecting to see her father, but instead was greeted by her fathers female secretary who was sitting at Crusaders desk organizing some important looking papers.
"Good morning Kelly." Vixen greeted Crusaders secretary with a friendly smile. "Might I ask where my father and Elise are?" she asked Kelly who labeled the papers she was organizing.
"They both are meeting with the chief religious leader from the Ocean Colony." Kelly replied without looking up.
"The Ocean Colony?" Vixen asked in a confused tone.
"Yea, the Ocean Colony." Kelly said as she finally looked up from the papers. "He has requested a healthy amount of cash in order to expand their main church, and he needs Crusader and Elise's permission to obtain the money." Kelly said as suddenly the door opened again and in walked her father and Elise. Her father wore his traditional 'Spawn' like attire, except for the golden lines and golden cross on his chest, while Elise wore an emerald green dress that perfectly matched her emerald eyes, the dress itself was lined with bird feathers.
"Crusader, Madam Elise." Kelly said as she stood up from Crusaders desk chair and gave a curt bow towards two of the most powerful Continuum's.
"Where you able to organize the paperwork from the Mountain Colony?" Crusader asked.
"Of course, sir." Kelly answered with a rare smile. Crusader was about to ask another question, but he spotted his daughter Vixen standing in the room, and that caught his complete attention.
"Vixen." Crusader said in a soft tone as he walked up to his daughter and gave her a soft hug. "I must say you are here simply unexpectedly." Crusader said in a confused tone.
"Father I'm sorry to disturb you... but I..." Vixen stumbled as she tried to figure out how to tell her father about her nightmare.
"It's alright Vixen, you can tell us anything." Elise said in her soft calming tone as she walked up to Vixen and placed a hand on her shoulder. Vixen sighed and finally told her father and Elise about her nightmare.
"Kelly, please... give us a few minutes." Elise requested. Kelly nodded her head and quickly left the room, leaving the three of them behind.
"Father, I don't understand how I could have this nightmare. I've never left this world after all." Vixen informed her father in a confused tone.
"I can understand your confusion." Crusader said as he and Elise exchanged a look, which did not go unnoticed by Vixen.
"Father, what are you not telling me?" Vixen asked her father. In response Crusaders hand began glowing as an image projected from his hand, and it showed the armored skeletal monster that had been in her dream. "Is this the being you saw?" Crusader asked, even though he already knew the answer.
"Yes..." Vixen said as her heart began beating fast again. "That's him..." Vixen said in a low tone, and that earned a nervous look from Elise. "Father, Elise, who is this creature?" Vixen asked, and after a minute of contemplation, Crusader answered his daughter.
"Nobody knows his real name, but he's known as the Wraith." Crusader said slowly. "He's an evil creature from a planet that was destroyed by war–"
"If he's not from this world, why is he in my dreams?" Vixen asked in a confused tone.
"I believe his master is the reason you had this nightmare." Crusader said slowly.
"Master? Who's his master?" Vixen asked in a confused, yet scared tone.
"The Dragon Emperor, Imperious..."
