I woke sweating, the Reymer stone still clutched tightly in my fist, I knew what I must do. The moon was slanting off the wooden beams in the dormitory ceiling, giving the room an eerie glow. Carefully I slid off my bed, careful not to wake the others in the beds next to me, and hurriedly dressed, there was no time to lose. I had only a few hours before the light was gone for good and Reymerstoe was no more.
I opened my paw and exposed my palm to the brilliant light of the full moon. The Reymer stone glowed, emitting its own light, like it had in the bathroom and more recently, in the dream.
The force of the stone was powerful, pulling me towards the window and down, out into the cool night air. The stirring wind whipped warm air about my bare ankles, as I landed like a cat on four paws, I felt no impact. I was invincible once more, but this time the feeling didn't fade, but remained, strong and powerful within me. I knew where the stone was, it was like I had known all along, but just hadn't realised I knew. The warmth within me gave me courage, I ran, the stone pulling me on, faster and faster, nearer and nearer, towards the abbey gates and out into mossflower woods.
I plunged into dense trees, creepers scratching me with their bony fingers. I was close, I could feel the warmth of the stone close by, emitting its heat to the surrounding forest. I felt the warmth inside me go, but I could feel it close by, but where? The darkness closed in and I fell into dreamless sleep.
I woke, dirty and scratched as the moon reflected off a nearby pool, into my eyes, making me sit up in the light, wondering where I was. I had been out most of the night, but it was still far too early for anyone to notice I was missing. Everything came back to me in a flood, like a rush of water. The stone. I could still feel that faint warmth from a few hours before and as I stood up, it seemed to grow.
I came out upon the pool, shivering and glistening, the moon reflected in the water, brilliant but not quite whole, a narrow sliver was missing, as if it had been cut right out of the moon. Bending down to touch the surface, it rippled under my touch and I found it boiling hot, though the sun was not yet up. I felt it within me, I had known it all along. The stone was the moon. As once more I opened my paw to expose my palm, the stone shivered and gradually lifted up and out of my paw to join its other part in the water. As it joined together, the whole ground seemed to shiver as if it had been anticipating this moment for years. I watched, enthralled by this breathtaking moment, as the reflection disappeared piece by piece from sight, I knew in my heart that the world of Reymerstoe was whole again.
Looking back at the water, I saw the shard of Reymer stone remained, slowly floating to the edge of the pool below my feet. The voice of Farrah echoed inside me, "A gift, with our thanks." I carefully drew the Reymer stone out of the water, still dripping and silently thanked Farrah, as it spread warmth to my renewed heart.
