Of a throne made with
swords that cut into her flesh and made her bleed until a great river
of blood flowed out onto the ground summoning a pride of lions who
licked at it hungrily.
Suddenly, a great stag
passes by, wearing a crown of leaves and a lioness, covered with
blood, tares open the belly of the beast and brings it to it's knees.
After that, the wolves
came and the lions fought them on a crimson field of blood.
Her blood.
Then an ancient, silver
grey, Dragon came with violet eyes and thousands of horses behind it
and showered everything with flames before it turned to her.
She tried to stand.
To run.
But it was too late.
The dragon looked at
her, roared and all she saw was blackness.
The roar echoed in her
ears until she woke suddenly, bathed in sweat and filled with fear,
finding herself back in the small tent that served as her bedchamber.
A sudden soothing smell
of cinnamon and nutmeg helped to clear her head and still her fear.
But then, as if still
part of the same nightmare a pair of yellow eyes stared at her from
the darkness and took form as the person before her stepped into the
light.
'Daughter... Tell me
what you saw.' Maggy the Frog asked in that familiar croaking whisper
as she walked over and sat beside her on the bed.
The girl took a deep breath and began to explain, leaving nothing out.
When she was done, the woman she knew as her Mother stroked her hair and sang a song in a language she did not understand.
The song only served to make her upset.
''What am I? Why do these dreams torment me every night?'' She asked fighting back the tears she felt in her eyes.
The Maegi continued to sing.
There would be no answers.
Not yet.
