It was dark. "Sleep." A voice said. "I need you to sleep." "Why?" he said, defiant as always. "You will see, soon enough." It was a feathery whisper in the darkness. He thought, 'what the heck, ' and continued to dream.

A face appeared. Fine lips, pale skin and big blue eyes. It was a woman, her hair as black as the abyss around her. "What is your name?" she asked. "What's it to you?" "It's taken a very long time to find you." "How do you know I'm who you're looking for?" "You had just the right dreams. I know who you are." Now that he thought about it, she looked eerily familiar.

He hated to admit to himself that he was frightened by it. "My name is Orphenn" he relented. She laughed. She only laughed. What if there was never another world? What if it's just.A different dream?.
