A hard nights rest...

In reply to “The Search: Part Four”
by Amanda Wolfe

She snuggled quietly in her blankets watching the door wearily...The inn was quiet tonight, she was not used to staying in Yew overnight but she didn't have the strength to ride home...

She sighed heavily, her eyes grew heavy and she slipped lightly into the calmness of sleep....
-------------
*FLASH*
She spun on heel, her eyes darting wildly from face to face. Owen...Azeron.....Strongbow....Luthien...Khalin...

They moved forward as if to aid her...Owen grabbed her arm forcibly. PAIN. His gaze met hers, and he dissolved into a million pieces before her eyes blown away by an unnatural breeze. Tears streamed down her face as the other moved forward to grab her.

"NOOOO!" She Screamed and ran far and fast..

*FLASH*

She dangled from a tree branch Silently watching.
A shadowed figure moved toward a newly dug grave leaving some sparse flowers at the base of the head stone. The Figure pulled back the cowl on its cape revealing its face....

Nooooo god please no

*FLASH*

She fled wildly across the forest floor, something in pursuit.. must run....

Her four furry legs blurred as she sped faster and faster...A man leapt from the bushes sending her tumbling head over paws. Amanda snarled baring her large canine teeth at the fiend...
He drove his blade deep into Amanda's underbelly strewing her vital organs on the fresh grass..

The world drifted....and blackened....

*FLASH*

Amanda covered her face with her hands not wanting to face anymore. She cried out "I just want to wake up" and cried softly in her hands.

A short time passed... and when she looked up and was awestruck....

A large wooden column stretched high into the air supporting a gigantic canopy... the ground was not made of earth but wooden... with large wooden grooves stretching like waves on the ocean as far as she could see.

She drew herself back cautiously trying to take it all in.....Something touched her back....

She swirled on her heel and greeted a large brown leathery object, as large as a great sea serpent..... She craned her head up...Seeing bits of colors and almost where the sky should be....

Amanda paled at the recognition...
She scrambled backwards across the floor of the Silver Arrow staring at Azeron Daefaroth.....

And then the massive form moved downwards towards her...his shadow overcastting everything within her line of vision....2 large hands scooped her up and held her firmly before Azeron's large elvish eyes..

Amanda jerked awake in bed drenched with sweat and shivering uncontrollably...
