Screaming, Dayna woke from a bad dream. Her blankets had been kicked
off, her night dress was tousled, her hair was a mess, and she was freezing
cold. She slipped on her robe and pilled on shoes, and carefully opened the
door to her room. He had killed her again. God how she hated that dream. It
always went the same way. the whole group was all in a battle agenst a
darkness. Spreading out, they devastated the goblin force attacking them.
The Geo ran to face her. She smiled at him and he smiled back, a glint in
his eyes. Then he raised his sword and. She shook her head trying to rid
the thought. No he'd never do that.
Dayna reached her friend's door. She slowly opened it and peered in softly. He was lying in his bed peacefully. Tears blurred her vision as she closed the door, and slid down the wall, falling onto the floor. She blinked, trying to clear her eyes but it was no use. Pulling herself up, she crossed to the stairs and left the hotel.
Her feet echoed through the frosty night air as she ran down the well beaten path. Every few minuets, she tripped and fell, only to get back up and run faster. Fire seemed to scorch her face and ice covered her toes. Still she carried on, covered in mud and blood. One final time, she collapsed on the ground and drag herself to the pond. She feverishly threw the cold water on her face, trying to cool herself down. Then crawled back and held her knees, burying her face.
Dayna perked up her ears. Footsteps sounded on the hollow ground, making her scramble to find her dagger. She tensed nervously and waited. catching the shadows off guars she screamed and held a knife to the throat of Kurama. "Nice to see you, too." He commented, smiling slightly. He had brought two people with him.
One was a tall male about 24, the other was a girl about 21. Dayna smiled warmly and tried to fix her appearance, with no luck. "The first is Keiser Reichshardt. and the second is Laurana." Keiser looked at Dayna oddly, but slowly inclined his head, and Laurana smiled sweetly. "I didn't know you would be up this late, but Keiser spotted you running, so we figured you needed help." He nodded at Keiser and the two helped Dayna up and all four walked back to the hotel. Kurama stayed with Dayna a little while longer to hear the story, and make sure she got to bed. then he was off.
The adventurers gathered their belongings and left the old village. Dayna strayed over towards Keiser and Kurama, but was followed closely by Geo. She sighed, knowing full well that she couldn't avoid him forever. The sun was shining brightly, warming her face. A smile played across her face. Her gaze shifted and she cautiously glanced at Geo. He smiled brightly but sensed something was wrong. She turned her head away from his questioning eyes, sighing to herself.
"We're here." Kurama stated, smiling with satisfaction. Tnass sniffed the air then led everyone to the left. There in the corner, sitting in the shadows, was a tall man with light brown hair. He stood up and bowed. His dark brown cloak falling to his ankles. He smiled warmly and took Dayna's hand.
"Good day milady." He smiled brightly. Dayna blushed lightly and returned the greeting. Kurama chuckled lightly.
"This is Brew. He is incredibly quick with a sword and had agreed to join us." The man smiled again.
The night seemed to gleam with brilliance. Dayna had never seen the stars so bright. She smiled and shivered lightly. The fire was dying slowly, and the shadows were creeping in quickly. It was the first time she had seen the three moons. She sighed happily, then squinted. The white moon was being blocked out. Dayna got a deep shiver and looked around. Down towards the city, flames were erupting. "Kurama! The city!" she shouted, trying to sound clear. She could see the fire rushing towards them, blazing in furry. Her eyes focused on one spot. Something looked out of place. Suddenly a face appeared in the flames and winked.
