"I'll show you to your room. Tomorrow is a big day, and you'll need your rest." Folken said, showing me to a room at the far end of the fortress. As soon as he exited, I lied down on the soft bed that was in my room. My head was pounding with all of the concepts I had just learned. I let my mind wander, but it kept leading back to that girl, Lani.

I imagined her face in my mind. My heart began to beat twice as fast. What is this feeling..? I asked myself. Eventually, I must have brushed it out of my mind, and gone to sleep.

Lani was inside of an enormous red giant, holding a sword half the size of the giant's body. Fire seemed to be falling from the sky; enveloping her. Another red giant appeared, from some sort of portal. The red giant charged at her. She dodged, barely missing the blow. Lani opened part of the red giant's face, so that her own appeared. "We shouldn't be fighting!" she cried out. Sensing her now exposed body, the giant shoved it's sword through Lani's face. Blood squirted from her head; her face was barely recognizable.

"STOP!" She exclaimed, "DON'T DO THIS, DIL-" she cried, but was cut off by the giant delivering another blow, this time straight into the metal giant's heart. With that, the giant red armor exploded, Lani falling out. A few seconds later, she burst into a million bloody pieces. Her heart landed inches from the murderous giant's foot. The red armor's pilot jumped out of the suit of armor. It was me! "NOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I screamed.

I woke up, my pillow and body drenched in sweat. "NOOOOOO!!!" I shouted out loud, beating wildly at the covers around me. Lani burst into my room. "Dilandau! Dilandau, what's the matter?!" She exclaimed, trying to hold me down. It took me a few moments to calm down. "Lani.." I began. She put her arms around me, as if I were a child. I simply rested my head on her shoulder, surrendering myself to her.

She held me close for a few more moments, and then let me go. "Do you want me to sleep with you tonight?" She asked. My eyes widened. Deep down I knew what she meant, but the thoughts of having her in the same bed excited me. "Yes, that would be excellent." I said. With that, Lani crawled into the bed, and lied beside me. The feeling of calmness was regained through out my body, and I slept well the rest of the night.
