Description
I ran for my life blinded, a black blanket over my head.
Green hands slapped my face, pushing me off course.
My fear made me stagger, brown feet tripping me.
Green jewels fell from the hands above, taunting me, just out of reach.
I was all alone, laughter echoing in my ears at my clumsiness.
I cringed as their tall forms loomed over me.

It's alright, my dear. They won't hurt you.
Fesdair? I whispered. Their laughter made me cover my ears.
No, that is only the wind.
I looked up, my eyes not seeing anything.
But… They put a blanket over my head…
No, that is only the darkness of the night.
Why did the night hit me then…?
Silly boy, that was only the branches.
But they tripped me too!
That was the roots. You couldn't see them in the dark.
But they were throwing jewels at me when they knew I couldn't reach them!
No. The jewels were leaves the wind blew off the trees.
The tall figures…
The trees themselves.

I stared into the night, my vision finally seeing the trees around me.
I searched and searched for her, but I only found the silence of the forest.
Fesdair! A soft glow appeared in the distance.
I scrambled up and lunged after it.
I tripped over the roots of the trees,
I pushed the branches away from my face.
I ignored the wind causing the leaves to fall.
I wasn't afraid of the darkness now that the glow showed the way.

Fesdair! I fell to the ground at the feet of the glow.
He white dress sparkled in the light of the moon.
I stared up into her pale, smiling face, her long yellow hair blowing in the breeze.
No… you were dead… I saw the blood stain your white dress… the pain in your eyes.
You are dead, my lady.

No. A soft hand cradled my cheek. I am here.
You are not alone.
