I can feel them watching me while I sleep. Whispering to me, calling to me. I just want them to end. Something big is coming, something ghastly. If I cannot escape the dreams, I fear it will devour me...Her mother could not keep her safe, the same damned blood ran in her veins, and it made her powerless to help.One night, when she had grown into a young woman, something came for her. But it was not a monster, at least in the traditional sense. It was a cousin. But this cousin, he had had the dreams too. And he had embraced them.So she ran, she ran deep into the forest, deep into the shadows. But he followed, and his presence was like a tidal pool, dragging her aware from the safety of the shore.As she looked back, she could see him. What she could not see was the tree root that suddenly lifted up and tripped her, sending her tumbling down into a ravine, and she lost consciousness. But not for long.When she awoke, there was someone with her. She gasped, it must be him! But no, it was a strange looking little man and a mischievious grin. " There is no way for you to escape them by running, you know, " he said. " They are a part of you, bound to you by your ancestors foolishness. "" But, " he said, smiling wide, " There is a way to suppress their voices. Nothing is free, though; there will be other voices to haunt you, maddening whispers. But it is the madness in their voices that will stave off the hellfire and brimstone. "She accepted. The man, a gnome he called himself, taught her the ways of the faerie spirits whom he lived among. The training was long, and arduous, but time seemed to flow differently when she was with him. Eventually, though, it did end...Suddenly she was back in the ravine. She could hear him approaching, the other. But she no longer felt drawn to him, there was something else tugging on her spirit now." Oh, by the way, " said the little man. " You still have to live.
