Prophecy:
Chapter 1

Disclaimer: As you probably already know, I do not own lod. Poor me, life is cruel! I do own several well developed characters (at least I like to think so) and other people not seen in the game.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhh! Help me! Someone help me!" the girl screamed, awakened from her horrifying dream. Someone was shaking her, "Let go! Help!"

"Sari! Sari, it's all right! I'm right here!" she opened her eyes and looked into the blue ones of her brother. He had stopped shaking and was just holding her by her shoulders. He looked scared, "What happened? You scared the hell out of me!"

"I, I guess I had a bad dream..." she looked around. There they were, in their house in Fletz. Definitely not in some weird country with pedestals and strange rituals.

"I'd say! You nearly woke up the whole town! What was it about anyway?" he was hoping for a straight answer. Instead his sister burst out crying. Sari threw herself on him, trembling and sobbing. He just sat there, awkwardly patting her back. His sister wasn't one to cry.

"It was horrible, Sean. I was in this freaky castle, and there was some kind of ceremony going on. There were priestesses and a pedestal and a man went up and cut his hand!" she took a breath, "The pedestal exploded and there was a scream and then nothing! It was so vivid, I swear I could smell the smoke from the alter." Sari wiped her eyes on her hand. Sean just looked at her, concern on everyone of his features.

"That does sound really scary, but you have to remember that dreams aren't real," Sean stood up. He was so tall, his head almost hit the ceiling. His six feet dwarfed Sari's five foot three. Besides that they could have been twins. They both had reddish-brown hair and blue eyes. Both had freckles and stubborn chins. Though Sean had just reached manhood (he had turned 14 in the last month), he still looked like a boy and for that wasn't taken seriously very often, "What did you learn at school today?"

"Um, ancient winglie customs and magic." Sari replied, pretty much recovered from the incidence.

"That explains it! You must have been thinking about magic and that created the dream." He stated. Sean had done extensive research on the human psychology and was proud to show off what he had learned.

Sari wasn't interested in that stuff, "Yeah, I guess that could be it..."

"I'm sure it is! Now you go back to sleep and I promise you won't have any more nightmares if you just push out all that magic stuff." he smiled at her and then got into his own feather bed.

I doubt it, Sari thought, pulling the blankets over her, whenever I try not to think of things, I always think of them more. But eventually her brain quieted down and she fell asleep.

Author's note: Okay. Longer, but boring. I got to get this perfect! A few explanations. The reason they are learning about winglies is because I figure after the end of the game, winglies finally came out of hiding and people started learning about them. Sari's going to be more of an action girl and Sean's going to be more of a bookworm. I wonder what dragoon they'll get. Not going to tell yet! Okay, for the next chappy, one of the surviving dragoons are going to come to Fletz. Which one will come?

1)Dart, the brave
2)Miranda, the bitchy
3)Albert, the smart
4)Haschel, the old (just kidding)
5)Kongol, the seriously strong
6)Meru, the cheerful

You decide. Review and tell me your answer. Morganna
