Prologue: The Four Are Needed

When the Four are here,

And the danger is 'near'.

Beware the Rat, a double-crossing crony,

Rely on the Four; all are a persistent ally.

Remus found himself in the strangest of dreams. He was sitting on a dark couch in as poorly lighted room with a black 'box' in front of him. 'That looks like a… Wait, what was that Muggle contraption again? O-yes, a television.'

Except for the fact that he could only see the outlines of two beings on the 'screen': one who appeared to be male, the other female.

"The Four are needed," said a woman voice suddenly, whom's voice reminded him, strangely enough, of the birth of stars.

"I agree, Lady," said the male whose voice was like sound of the wind and great birds. " It is time for a council."

"Past time," agreed the Lady.

After that it went pitch black and he couldn't even see outlines.

A couple of minutes later he saw a vague outline of a group of fourteen men and women. He was also under the impression that at least an hour had pasted.

"It is time to bring forth the Four," said the same male voice of before.

"Are you positive," asked another male with the sound of a smithies and mines in him, " The time is right?"

"It is right," said a quiet masculine voice that sounded like a long, slow journey at its end with finality.

"So we are all in agreement?" asked a woman whose voice sounded of green growing things.

"Yes," said fourteen voices at the same time, creating a deafening roar of the birth of stars, wind and great birds, smithies and mines, growing plants, dreams, yarn and needles, waves and deep sea, quite journey's end, tears, dancing, animals, laughter and strength, youthfulness, and gentle healing.

Abruptly, Remus woke up and thought 'That was the weirdest dream.' Then he fell back to sleep forgetting all of it until a something reminded him a few days later.

So, what do you think so far? Chapter One will be longer, and the 'poem' at the beginning will be subject to change.

Don't like. Don't read. Don't Flame.
