Chapter Seventeen - The Nightmare
The sky was lit with stars all around. Sand was in piles everywhere. The wind blew sweetly across the huge hills, causing the sand to take up into the air in a flying dance. The land had peace and tranquility for the dreamer. The dreamer thought that perhaps it was a desert, like the ones he had read about in the numerous books in the library. Yet, even in this tranquility, something nagged at him. Something that told him that he had been here before and it was dejavu. And that this wasn't the first time he had this experience. No, he had this feeling before too.
It was then that he heard the sound of hoof steps on the sand. He turned, in the way one does in dreams and looked towards where the sound was coming from. His hearing was so good, that it took awhile for the figures to appear. When they did, he noted that there were three. Two were dressed in blue cloaks with jovial faces and the other was dressed in white. He knew them instantly. For instead of having a jovial face, the one in white had a face that screamed darkness. The dreamer was glad that he was unseen.
"Curinir, should we not stop and rest now?" One of the blue wizards spoke up.
"Yes. We've come far enough. Yes Qwinderu, we have come far enough." The white wizard spoke. His voice sent chills down the dreamers spine. The three wizards dismounted and stepped down. The two in blue began to make camp. The one in white then held up his staff. The staff raised into a pointed position. Words came out of his mouth. There was then a flash of light.
The one named Qwinderu lay dead. The horses were now off running. The second one looked at the other in disbelief.
"Curinir?" He then rose, turning to run as he did. Again the white one said the same words. After the flash, the other in blue lay dead.
Did you thing you could get away Qwindfang?" Suddenly, the wizard sensed something. He turned and looked the dreamer straight in the face. This time was not like the others. This time, the white one saw him as clearly as he saw the white one. The dreamer tried to let out a scream.
