Laurai Fauna spun a dream web around the uncoscious girl, calling her deeper and deeper into sleep, until her own voice could be heard.
"You finally sleep, young princess," said the Dreamwitch. "It has taken you far too long."

Hanna flew through the mist of the Dreamworld, feeling nothing as she flew over cloudbanks and webs of spun gray. All colors were soft and blended, making nothing distinct.
Until she saw the girl. Pale skinned, wearing along black dress that seemed like mist itself, seemed to float upward to meet Hanna in the air.
It took a moent for Hannato realize that she wa speaking, and the echoes of the words took even longer to reach her mind.
"You finally sleep, young princess. It has taken you far too long."
What do you mean? Hanna thought. I'm not a princess.

Laurai smiled. "You alone of all your people are in this land. Your father is a king, and your mother wasa princess. Does it seem so strange?"

I am half of two peoples. I cannot be a leader, she replied, looking at the girl upside down.

"Leaders are not chosen by blood, Hanna Waterchild. But thatis not important right now. I have a message for you," Laurai chided, pointing a finger.

Hanna, still floating upside down, crossed her legs Indian style and cocked her head like a little girl.
What kind of message? she asked.

"A warning." she replied. She waved her hand in the air anda guilded frame of virgin gold opened in the air. Hanna turned rightside up and looked at in in fascination. Pictures began to move inside it and she looked closer, entranced.
"The one you travel with, the Wolf-his destiny is twined with yours. You have a journey to make that will take you nowhere, a life you must touch but leave no mark. The hunters are guided by evil, but there is another darkness to be wary of. Do not forget, Waterchild."

The entire scene vanished and Hanna was again unconscious on the cave floor, lost to the blackness that had no thought.

::Kallman groaned as he stood to his feet and tried to figure out where he was. Charlie came to him and licked his face.:: "Charlie don't do that!" ::Kallman laughed thinking everything was fine until he noticed no Hanna. He was in his swamp again. "Thanks Charlie" ::Kallman stood and began trying to figure a plan of action.

Hanna didn't know how long it had been when she finally awoke. Her head throbbed as if someone were beating a drum against her temples and her mouth was dry. She blinked in the darkness and could just make out a pool of water, so she crawled toward it and drank, taking a good look around.
Stone walls rose overhead and met together, but that was where the similarities between where she had last been conscious and the place she was now in ended.
This new cavern was huge, so vast that in the darkness she couldn't even see how far the walls extended. As she watched the darkness began to lessen and turn sunny. Flowers began to srping from the dank, earthy ground and a butterfly flitted past on vibrant yellow wings.
Hanna stood very slowly, shifting her weight in preparation to run as she watched all the evidence of a spring day unfold before her.
What is going on?!

::Kallman sat on an abandoned tree stump that had grown moss on it from the swamps effect. Kallman still shirtless and not sure where to begin thought of what to do. He had no idea where Hanna was and he knew he only survived because of her. He felt that in his heart. He had to think and think quickly. If any danger befell her it would be his fault alone. Kallman would save her, and Kallman would bring her back to the swamp. Kallman looked at Charlie who was sighing. Kallman could tell Charlie missed Hanna. Kallman could not see complety the connection that Hanna and Charlie had. Little did any of them know that Charlies was in fact Hanna's little brother who she thought had been dead for many years.::
(Hope you don't mind. I want to make Charlie an important character and this idea just hit me. yours Alicia)

(Actually, I very much like the idea! It's an interesting twist)
The butterfly flew close and landed on her arm, making Hanna flinch away, unsure if it was dangerous or not. Catching sight of her own hand she gasped turning it this way and that and rubbing it to make sure it was really there. After checking herself over she sighed with relief. She was back to normal, in appearance at least.
She wandered around the cave, looking for a way out, but it seemed that the cave was entirely closed off.
But if that's true, then how did I get here?
She thought of Kallman and Charlie and hoped that, wherever they were, they were safe.

::Charlie looked at Kallman and bowed his head down. Kallman understood Charlie really missed Hanna. Kallman smiled never before had Charlie liked anyone who came into his swamp until now. With a sword in his belt and determention in his heart. He waved for Charlie to guard the swamp and Kallman raced off to where he last saw Hanna the cave.::

The walls of the cave faded away until they were indistinct and Hanna began to feel drowsy. She wandered aimlessly, picking flowers in a kind of daze as golden motes like dust rose into the air. In the back of her mind alarm bells were going off, saying that something wasn't right.
A dark figure materialized from the distant nothingness and walked toward her.
As soon as her eyes rested on him Hanna snapped from the enchantment and gasped.
"Ferin?!"

The magician frowned and looked around. "Don't you like it?" he asked. "It's a bit frivolous I suppose."
