Chapter I
Granthan's mission was the most vital of the war. It would mean instant victory--but for whom? In the dream I was swimming in a river of white fire and the dream went on and on. And then I was awake--and the fire was still there, fiercely burning at me. I tried to move to get away from the flames, and then the real pain hit me.
