This time, I dream of FuriousDestroyer without his armor on. He smiles at me. His bright blue eyes gleam in the morning sun. I look around and realize that we're standing in the middle of a grass field. He grabs my hand and starts leading me somewhere. Soon, a great glistening castle looms closer. We walk up to castle walls. He turns around with a serious look on his face. He starts speaking. I realize he's speaking in riddles almost.

"You'll never see the castle walls for what they really are until they fall."

The castle walls suddenly crumble. FuriousDestroyer turns back around and continues to lead me. I try to pull away from him because I hear monstrous noises coming from the castle. His grip is too strong. He's crushing my wrist. He starts talking again.

"Face your fears before they face you FuriousDestroyer."

He opens the door. A dark shadow with claws lunges at me. I realize that FuriousDestroyer is gone. I wake up again and don't realize it so I fight and scream.

"SuperGirlyGamer!!! SuperGirlyGamer!!! You're safe! You're safe!"

I see Lucinda with a worried look on her face standing over me. I'm drenched in sweat and my throat hurts from screaming.

"I've been trying to wake you up for an hour! What were you even dreaming about?"

"I... I've been having dreams about FuriousDestroyer and... they've been terrifying. Some of them are nice but I feel like they're trying to tell me something."

"What have they been about. Tell me now."
"What about training-..."

"This is much more important."

I go on telling her about all three dreams. The one about the day everything changed, the one about the story, and the one last night. She sits there listening intently to my dreams. After I finish, she sits there thinking for a second.

"Huh..."

"So... what does it all mean?"

"You were right about the fact that something or someone is trying to tell you things. But I don't know what. They don't seem to have anything in common besides FuriousDestroyer. Do you mind if I ask him?"

"I... sure but can you leave out some details about the second dream?"

I feel my cheeks turning red. Lucinda stares at me with one eyebrow raised. Then she smiles.

"Only because you're my friend."

She starts heading for the door.

"Wait!"
She turns around.

"Um... how is he?"
"As handsome as ever."

She winks one more time before leaving. The door shuts.

"Good."

. . .

"FuriousDestroyer."

"Huh?"

FuriousDestroyer is still laying on the bed, healing. He sits up to talk to Lucinda.

"She's been having dreams."

"I know. We have to hurry before they get her. She has to trust us. Can you make her dreams stop?"

"The magic that creates the dreams is too strong to break."

"I see. Then time is key. Make sure she trusts you."

Lucinda nods and leaves his room for FuriousDestroyer to get some rest. She heads back to SuperGirlyGamer's room.

. . .

I read the book that FuriousDestroyer let me bring as I wait for Lucinda to return. She walks in through the door.

"I'm sorry but FuriousDestroyer doesn't know anything about your dreams."

"It's okay. Not all of them are bad."

"We should get to training now. Grab your hoe and let's get going."

I do as she says. She leads me out into a bright clearing. She pulls out her staff.

"I just need to see your fighting skill. Then we can work from there. Attack me with all you got."

I charge at her swinging the hoe. She doesn't flinch at all. When I get close enough, I swing the hoe with all my strength. Lucinda's staff starts glowing. A sudden burst of wind hits me and knocks me to the ground. I hit the ground hard and now my arm hurts badly.

"Ow!"

"I didn't think you were that weak. All wielders were trained to fight before wielding. The weapons only chose the strongest of the strongest. Why did the Pink Paulyak Hoe chose you then? "

"How am I supposed to know?!"

"Then there must be something about your personality then. This time I want you to think about someone important to you that has affected you emotionally."

"Like who?"

She thinks for a second.

"Think about FuriousDestroyer. How he crushed your heart, saved your life twice, and more than anything, he's your friend."

I think about him for a second.

"Got it?"

"Got it."

I charge at Lucinda again. This time I let my emotions take over my actions. When I swing the hoe this time, it starts glowing bright pink. The cuts easily through Lucinda's wind burst attack. I hit Lucinda only hard enough to knock her down. She stares at me in shock as I threaten her with the still glowing hoe in her face.

Little does SuperGirlyGamer know that FuriousDestroyer is watching from his window.

"Emotion is what powers you too SuperGirlyGamer? Love is what emotion powers you. Pure hatred is my fuel."

. . .

We practice for the next few hours. I start winning a few but I can tell by the ire in Lucinda's eyes that she's not going easy on me anymore. After a while, we sit on her front porch eating gigantic sandwiches and gallons of lemonade.

"You should bring some for FuriousDestroyer. It's only fair."

"Okay."

I place a sandwich and a tall glass of lemonade in a tray. I wind down the various halls until I finally find his room. FuriousDestroyer is sitting on his bed with a book in his hands but he's sleeping. He's not wearing a shirt but the bandages around his torso cover him as much as a shirt would've. He looks so peaceful sleeping there. I set down the tray on the bedside table. I sit down next to him on the bed. A lock of hair is covering his face so brush it to the side.

"I'm sorry for what happened to you FuriousDestroyer. If I could trade places with you, I would."

"That's dumb."

FuriousDestroyer's eyes pop open. I jump back in surprise. He smiles at me. I calm down instantly.

"How long have you been awake?!"

I can feel my cheeks getting red.

"Ever since you opened the door silly. I've been pretending to be asleep since. You really are sappy when you think I can't hear."

I blush even deeper. Is he flirting with me?

"I was watching you duel. You really sucked at first. Then you were great at it. What happened?"

"I... Lucinda told me to think about someone."

"Who did you think of then?"

"I um... my Mama Big Bertha."

"I see. You brought food for me. Good I'm starving."

He leans over and grabs the food tray from the table and starts eating. I'm glad that he couldn't tell that I was lying. I smile at him.

"I'm gonna get back to training okay."

He nods his head and continues to devour his sandwich. I leave the room.
