Elanor, who had been leaning against a tree near Elwyn, sat up with a start as she heard the cry. She grabbed her cloak blurrily and picked up her diving crystal from where it had been strung on a low branch near her head. Strange, she didnt remember putting it there...
And the dream she had had.
The shild laughed, her golden hair flying out behind her as she swung on the swing. The man behind pushed her, laugh lines creasing his strong face. He pushed her even harder this time before running a few metres in front of the swing. With a whoop the girl jumped of the swing into his arms. As he caught her he swung her around and they laughed. As he let her go a woman came smiling out of the shadow and the sunlight dappled her long silky blonde hair. The tall man turned when he heard her and smiled. They kissed and he buried his face in her wonderful hair.
"I love you my darling."
"And I will always love you Fiona..."
Elanors brow creased as she once again looked at the divining crystal. It had reddish mist swirling inside it, the sign of pain. What was painful about the scene she had just viewed?
Great, now youre really losing it Elanor. Get a grip! she shook her head and ran quickly to the source of the sound...
