I was tackled by a repulsively large hug.

"I love you to."

I was tired, for it had been a long day. I clambered into my hammock and close my eyes, when fear caught me. What nightmare would I endure tonight?

*+* The wind was cold on my back, and I felt at home. The breeze blustered my long tangles of black hair and I looked south. It was calling my name. Informing me of its need for me. I had to go. I needed to go.

I was there. It looked the same.. vast stretches of endless ocean, but I knew I was there. It was warm here, and the heat tinseled up my spine; I was safe.

An arm was produced from somewhere behind me, and it wrapped itself around my sun-bathed shoulders, and I body arrived, on I knew as Da's.

--you like it here, don't you?--

--yes.--

--I can show you the world.--

--I know--

I turned to face him, and it was not him, but Anamaria.

--Don't be afraid to let go- Ovashing.--

She was changing to Mother..

--Mother!--

I tried to hug her, but she seemed non corporeal. Mayhap I did miss her after all.

--You has found him, Ovashing. I love you, but it is time for me to go, you know this too, let me rest in peace of mind. Good Bye Ovashing.--

I looked at her again to find Anamaria fast asleep in her bunk, in a dark room. *+*

I never did remember my dream I had that night, but I know it woke me up. I also know I never had another nightmare about my mother. Not one.
