Chapter Five
A flash of blue. . .
Out of the water rose these things, all shapes and sizes. At first it was just a few, then more, and more, and more, until it was an army of these hideous creatures, swarming for shore in the dark silence of the night. The first ones soon reached the water's end and stepped up onto harbors and beaches, unknown to all except the one little Heraldic Trainee, floating in a cloud of blue, watching, but able to do nothing. When the first monster reached the first line of houses it ripped the house in front of it and everything else apart, grabbed the people living in it and attached them to the suction cups and nipples all over the thing's body. The poor people struggled, but to no avail. Slowly their movements grew weaker, and weaker, then they stopped moving all together and the monster seemed to grow slightly, straightening itself and seeming to swell a bit, maybe with pride, but also physically. The other things were doing the same, and soon the water side town was rubble, and nothing more.
When the repulsive creatures finished with the town they continued on, and Trainee Jordan could do nothing to stop it. They went from town to town to town,
following the same pattern, sucking the life out of the inhabitants, growing stronger with each meal. They had just one purpose and destination in their minds;
The life force of the Companions.

Heraldic Trainee Jordan sat up in bed, drenched with sweat, his mouth clamped shut over a barely contained scream. He trembled as he tried to regain himself and get over that terrible dream, no nightmare, no Foresight. It would be logical, being that his Grandfather Malken was the most powerful ever Foreseer and that none of his descendants had had the gift yet. Of course none of his descendants had been Chosen yet. He was the first. He had to talk to his grandfather. If that was Foresight, the Companions were in trouble.
If that was Foresight, Valdemar was in trouble, big trouble. And only his warning would help them.
With only those thoughts in his mind, he scrambled out of bed and stumbled out of his room to find his grandfather and alert the King to what was to come.
