Watch out now! This is gonna be my shortest chapter on record! Somebody told me my chapters are too darn long, well here's one to shake things up. Not much I know, but it'll give you a little taste of who's coming to tango.

Disclaimer: isn't it obvious yet?

Ch 6 Vision

His scream echoed in his chamber though the thrashing of his sheets did not. He bolted upright as his head turned in all directions. His tiny body was still exhausted from his restlessness. His hand gripped a wad of his sheets as a hiss of steam followed the click and opening of the door. The shadow of the guard stood outside the threshold, not daring to advance. "Master Bibi-Dee are you alright?"

He blinked then sneered and threw his arms in the air. "How many times must I tell you fools never to enter my chamber?!" The guard trembled. "Send Desdelona to me and keep your pitiful meaningless soul."

The guard stumbled back against the wall, bowed quickly, shouted a "yes sir," and ran for dear life.

The wizard sighed and wiped the cold sweat from his brow. His hand moved to his throat, and expected to feel a trail of warm blood run down his chest. ~*Same damn dream every night! I'm staring through blood washed vision and faintly hear a man and woman speaking. He pleads to her, calling her 'Kalila.' Where have I heard that before? I know that language. Wait a minute! They're lovers! She leaves, but the portal doesn't close until he's there, standing over me, his face in shadow. My ears can't hear what he says. He turns to watch her leave, his fist clenches as a tear trails his cheek. He nearly darts after her yet he turns again to me. My eyes close to shut out the light, but they never open. Whoever he is... he will be... my end.*~
