           ~~a month later~~

           I walk through my forest with my bow at hand. Light falls through the canopy of branches dappling the ground in light. A slight wind picks up and pulls at my mind, I collapse into darkness.

           When I open my eyes I see that I am in a Spirit forest. The trees are have smoky branches and leaves that look like stars. A wispy form is talking to a girl with long gold-blond hair in a ponytail. The girl nods and runs off through the smoky trees.

           I stand up and walk forward, “Mother Spirit, why have you brought me here?”

           “A prophecy… is what I have… for you to know…” Mother Spirit speaks softly.

           “Tell me Mother Spirit.” I say kneeling down.

           “Listen well for I only say once…” She rests a wispy finger on my forehead. “The void is opening and only a fallen star can save all life. Darkness will destroy love till it hangs by a thread. Hold on to what you love.” As she said the last sentence the forest around us disappears and her wispy shape fades away.

           I blink several times to clear my head, my forest is no longer a Spirit Forest. Was it a dream? I look around, no it was real I am still kneeling. I stand up and ready my bow with and arrow.

           Hearing voices I duck behind some bushes and wait for the people who dare enter my forest…

“Remind me why we are doing this again.” Jay puffs as we run through a forest.

“Because according to Nya we’ve been playing too many video games.” Zane replies as he jumps over a rotting log.

“Race ya!” Cole says as he runs off into the trees. I laugh and follow.

*Twing!* I feel something ruffle the back of my hair and I skid to a stop. I slowly turn around. An arrow is imbedded in a tree, I carefully pull it out and examine it. The head is made of a chiseled dragon scale, and the feathers are a silky blue. Hearing the guys I continue on and break out of the forest into a flat grassy land.

“Oooo green ninja’s going soft!” Kai hollers.

“I got held up.” I reply.

“Oh really?” Cole asks raising an eyebrow.

I hold up the arrow. “Look familiar?” Their eyes widen.
