From inside the depths of the oblivious darkness, a light burst into flame. Her eyes opened in shock and confusion. Had Revol, the great terror just appologized to her? Unless her mind was playing tricks on her, it seemed as if she were worth more to him than he was letting on. Maybe to both of them. After all, how often does an ordinary dragoness summon the company of two powerful spirits such as these for no reason?
Her fear and dread began now to lift and dissipate as she stared into the dark chasms of Revols eyes. Beyond the blackness of shadow there was a spark of life. Yes, he too had a story, too morbid and hidden to read clearly, but she could catch glimpses. He was a leader. A great one worth ever cheveron of his rank. Through him she also saw the reflection of a distant planet. Blue and green in color, simillar to their own. However, this world looked cloudy. Gray and miserable, charred and cold. The aftermath of some unthinkable armageddon. She could not recall what had happened here, but was aware that in the depths of her sub-concious mind, she already knew. All she could see was fire. At closer inspection she could hear the cries of a million tortured screams, and terror possesed her then. The global citizens cried and screamed like dumb children in the inferno of their own corrupted civilizeation. A whole race fallen from the path of the righteous and peacefull, degraded to hateful competitors, scrambling over the backs of the poor to be respected. In the midst of this horrid vision came a tinkly-sweet tune accompanied by lyrics of a strange forgin tounge.
<span style='color:gray'>and in my darkest moment feeble and weeping the moon tells me a secret, a confident. As full and bright as i am , this light is not my own and a million light reflections pass over me. Its source is bright and endless she recussetates the hopeless. Without her we are lifeless satalittes drifting...

Even if she had been able to translate the words their meaning would still have no meaning to her. Perhaps she would never understand why. She rarely did. All she knew now was that there was far more to know and understand in the ordinary world around her than she could have ever imagined. Her visions had always been questionable, sporting an aura of deep meaning, but shed always conciously told herself that she was crazy, and it was all in her head. Thats what the doctors had told her year after year. Corruption was everywhere. Beliefs should be homemade, not instilled.
Returning to full alertness, she rose to her feet and walked to Revol untill they were nearly nose to nose. She no longer feared him. When their faces were but a foot apart, she stared up into his dark eyes, having to turn her face upwards at an uncomfortable angle. So what she was short. Nothing could shatter her confidence now. She knew that once more she was probably getting herself into something she would regret, but that was a common thought. But there were times in ones life when we lose ultimate control over its path, lead by fate alone.
Ignioring the putrid smell of decay wafting from the nostrills of the great 'dragon warrior, she held her back straight, shoulders up, back and down.
<span style='color:gray'>"Revol. Tell me whats happening here. What am I? Why do I see these things? You know. I know you do."

She turned quickly to Paush.
<span style='color:gray'>"You know too. Both of you are elite spirits and dont pretend that I mean nothing to you. Something is going on here. What is it?"

With eyes fixed open wider than they normally should be she stared with the greatest infatuation she had ever felt. Today would be a changing day, she could feel it in the dirt.... in the air... and in her own blood. Her life had been leading up to this point as she waited for an epiphany.
