Nightshade dreams..(please zoom!) (continued) Suddenly, in a place Nightshade knows. Iphis: ..Nightshade!..We need you!..I need you.. Her voice faints away in the mist, instead Nightshade sees another person nearby. Nightshade: ..Mother?..You here..? He is just about to move closer when a deep croak voice interrupts. The man: She can't answer..she's long been a ghost..a vague memmory.. Nighshades turns slowly around to look at the man. His face is almost hidden under the hood. - Who are you?.. Man: Maybe a better question - who are you, Nightshade Woodborn?.. Nightshade: You know my name?.. Man: (Ignores the question) Are you the savior of a great kingdome or just a pawn in a much bigger game?..I see you have done it well so far..Pentwahir has been doing fine with you, your sister Darkhawk and Iphis..He has always been such a caring good person, must be from his mothers side..The lightelves love him like one of their own kind.. Nightshade: You seems to know Pentwahir well..but won't tell who you are?.. Man: You will know it when times come..Clever to hide the princess in twenty years, you, your men and Pentwahir..But now she is exposed, you're all very exposed..Darkhawk is not here.. Nightshade: Your fear her..I see.. Man: I respect her and her powers in magic - but she's still very young and somewhat temperamental.. Nightshade: It is not us..you aren't the slightest interested in us or the kingdome of Korr..It is Darkhawk you're after..? Man: You have a sharp mind.. Nightshade: What do you want Darkhawk for? She is the most powerful person on Earth with magic from both here and from Hell..She fears no trickster magician or anything else.. Man: I'm in no hurry, I've been waiting for hundreds of years..The things you do will help me too, whatever you want it or not.. Iphis: Nightshade! Don't listen to him!..He only tries to hold you here! Wake up!.. (to be continued) First thank you for comments and sometimes ideas for my, a bit reworked Sevaril story. Second, I'm a bit pressed with time to get around and comment regularly. Sevaril - the title of the whole, in the end, family saga - is The Sword Of The Ruler which Iphis first must possess to claim her rights to the throne of the mighty Kingdome of Korr. The other side of life refers to the dream world, sometimes beautiful, weird and at other times even cruel and scary. Shakespeare's: "We are such stuff as dreams are made on, and our little life is rounded with a sleep." - covers it so fine. Have a wonderful upcoming week end! :o) JohnnyC / Rhanagaz
