When Henry woke up the morning was pale. That was strange, for it all always dark. He quickly realized that he was no longer in the old house anymore, but instead laying beside the log by the river. He got himself up fast.
"Charlotte!" He called. "Freddy!"
There were no replies. He couldn't even hear the river though it was running. His heart raced. It was dead silent.
The sun broke through the cloudy skies, but there was no warmth.
Suddenly, everything started to break with no sound. Henry watched in horror as the trees and skies turned into broken shards revealing nothing but white.
Henry was left in a spot with nothing that went nowhere. He was in a world of white and silence. He stood frozen with fear.
A glowing pink orb appeared in front of him. It looked to be on of fire, but Henry still reached out slowly to touch it. It burned him and he quickly took back his hand and looked at the red flesh on his finger tips, wincing.
When he looked back up another orb appeared then another orb beside it. Soon Henry was surrounding by hundreds of ghostly orbs. They flew around him creating wind that made his hair and loose clothing fly.
A voice started to echo around him. A woman's voice, even though it seemed to not just be one. The voice seem to be coming from all directions and Henry could not see anything, but the pink orbs whirling around him.
"Child born of sun and sky, with blue eyes and a windy cry, will be the host of all that shines!" It yelled.
It started to repeat it faster and faster. And it got so loud Henry's years started to ring and bleed.
Just as soon as he started to scream he woke up.
