Claret Sun
There was a whispering in her ear as the darkness in her mind dissipated.
"Susan."
She fought against the heavy lids keeping her eyes closed, just enough so she could see a slit of the air in front of her. There was flashes of white and red, petals dancing in the air, brushing against her cheek as it whispered again,
"Susan, get up."
With a mutter she turned on her side, pushing herself up slowly from the ground as the cover slipped down. After a moment she had her eyes fully open and was looking at the sprite that twirled on the wind.
"Follow me."
She rubbed at her face as if that would help her wake up, yawning as she asked, "Why?"
"It's Maugrim."
Her head shot up, staring at the tree spirit. She was awake now. "You know where he is? Tell me-"
"Follow me."
Susan was up from the ground in an instant, tugging on her shoes, not caring about the state of her clothes as she ran after the swirling path of petals.
