[color:"a0a0ff"]As we continued on our short journey, we came upon a river. Lady streak had finally woken up from her 'nap' and was wandering ahead of us. As she approached the bank ahead of us she called to us (it was an excited meow), being that she didn't usually say much we went running.
There at the bank was what at first looked to be a pile of rags. Then it moved. JVB drew his sword and Dragh stood ready, but I held them off.
"It obviously isn't hostile or Kilala and LadyStreak would have warned us"
*Groan*
"and I think its hurt"
I walked over to the being that was there and uncovered it. It was a woman!!! Between the three of us we carried her up the bank and set her down very gently.
I put my hands over her face and chanted my healing spell, knowing full well that there was nothing I could do that would help this woman alive for long.
"Be war...nd the wiz.."came a trance like moan from the woman
"Shhhh, don't speak save your strength" I cautioned
Suddenly without warning, She reached up and grabbed my face and I saw horrible images that were beyond my imagination.

[color:"#33CC33"] Death
Destruction
Mayham
Saddness
dispair
These images became more and more intense until saw one more image.
Two words
Arkumbar and Mardum. These came with a picture of a long black robe with deep blood red eyes. He had a staff that glowed while he laughed. The picture started in on his eyes and pulled out. First I could only see him then I saw what I instincivly knew was Mardum, his mountain troll. Bigger than some trees and just as stout, the picture kept pulling out. Past the castle which was on an island out to sea. Further up where I could see the coast line then over the land to where our forrest began. Then suddenly I see JVB, Dragh and I as small specs and the vision zoomed in so fast that I was thrown to the ground.
"We must go now, we must find our group and move on" I said as if I was still in my trance. "I cannot speak of the horrors that I have seen but I know that we must move on because there is much evil left for ust to overcome"[/color]

LadyStreak was licking my face, which made me feel much stronger.
"She has died Lucidity"
It took me a minute but I realized that it was Dragh that had said it. "My friend you truely amaze me."
Off we went, Me carrying JVB as we lept over the river and rushed throught the field to the fast approaching castle.
