When Kiya asked us not to follow her I wanted to disobey her wishes, but I knew that we each had to carve out our own destiny and she had her feet firmly planted on life's path. Besides I knew that Nero was following her and I was pretty sure nothing would harm her if he had any say in the matter.

I could only shake my head as I watched the 'guys' settle down to their 'wodka'. Boy, they could certainly change what they were doing in a hurry. BeeGee looked like he was searching for something, he kept peeking through his fingers and then spinning around as rapidly as could and saying, "Gotcha!"

I glanced around and noticed a big tree standing all by itself about a mile away. "Well, I'm not tired and I want to see what's in that tree. So far, somethings been in every tree that size on this planet (??? - what's a planet??/).

I took off at a stroll, noticing that distances here could be really deceiving. One minute, the tree looked only a couple of hundred feet away and then the next time I looked at it, it looked several leagues away.

"What the ...," I growled. "I am going to make it to that blasted tree!" My vision blurred for a second and I was there! Right at the tree. "Weird," I shrugged.

I walked around the tree, looking for a door believe it or not. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Not finding anything I sat down and got comfortable. Now I was tired, my eyes slowly drifted shut and I fell into a dream.

[color:"orange"] I was looking down on a table with seven figures seated around it. Each of the figures were shrouded in a different colored mist - I couldn't see their true forms nor distinguish their words but I could sense their overiding evil. Then my dream shifted and I saw that the table was actually a miniature world and that the wizards... How did I know they were wizards? I don't know, I just did. One of the wizards pointed at something on the table and the scene shifted closer to the world. Down... down... down until I was close enough to see that he was pointing at some people. I knew I needed to see who they were, it was important, so very important. Just then my vision cleared and I swear I could see jvb sitting at our fire! Then the the wizard started mumbling in a syllabant whisper with his finger pointing at the camp and I saw a sizzling spark spinging from his fingertip... [/color]

I woke up with a scream of warning on my lips, hoping beyond hope that I wouldn't be too late to warn them. I jumped up and started running back toward the camp, willing myself to be there...
