You turn in the direction of the egyptis, back down the mountain the way you came. You walk back towards the edge of the mountain and begin to climb back down. The decent is slightly easier that going up the mountain because you know where all the foot and hand holds are. You reach the ledge where you had met Hurakan, you sit down and take a short break, then continue on your journey. Eventually, you reach a point where you can walk instead of climb down the mountain. As you climb down you begin to realize that this is not the way you came up, you must have taken a wrong turn. The sun sets in the west, and you stop to look at the beautiful array of colors upon the horizon. After a while a red mist begins to roll in around you, and you get suddenly tired. You sit down with your head on a rock and fall into a peacful slumber. When the night is completely dark, the mist gets thicker, and without the sleeping spell gets stronger, however you cannot sense this in your sleeping mind. Little flames light on hidden candels throughout the dell. The mists grow so thick that it is imposible to see through, it seems almost as if one could touch them. You sleep through the wonder, oblivious to all around you. The mists swirl together to form a doorway, a creature enters through the door.

You are having peacful dreams, of happiness, joy and pink fuzzy ducks, when suddenly everything around you turns black, and fire envelopes your dreams. A creature with red misted eyes stepps out of the blackness and flames, you hear a voice inside your head, Be not affeared human, for I will not harm you, as long as you can come to a conclusion that you will not harm me or my flames. You murmer out loud in your sleep, "Hmmmm...... why would I harm you if you give me back my dreams of happines, joy and pink fuzzy ducks?......" Because I have a message to deliver, and a voice to be heard. You are half asleep when you answer, "What is the message and the voice to be heard?" That the world shall soon die. You are jolted awake by the strange message almost instantly. You stare at the creature, realizing the dream was almost too real. The creature stares at you through red misted eyes. You stare back and say, "What do you mean 'the world shall soon die'?" She looks at you, and the voice in your head soon returns. I mean, human, that if you do not care for the world and treasure it, then the world shall die. You stare at the creature, opened mouthed, "So why didn't you give me the whole message at once?" To get your attention. The creature replies. "What is your name?" You ask inquiringly. My name, human, is Fiery Dreams. There should be no mystery here. You look at the creature and ask, "So the world wont die if I care for it, right?" She nods, But the earth requires more care than one will guess. You turn and begin to walk back up the mountain, towards the crater. Fiery Dreams smiles a mysterious smile as she watches you go..... |
