[QUOTE="Gregor, post: 5500388, member: 11751"] [b]Chapter 1 comes to an end...[/b] And so, the six from Gate Pass and their guide Torrent, sit down to an evening meal on the outskirts of the blazing forest. The party exchanges stories and banter while they sip warm river water and lounge in the ambient heat. Soon the sky turns black and the stars emerge, barely visible against the blazing light from the fires. Fatigue sets in and you doze off, resting your weary bodies after a tumultuous few days. Some scratch absentmindedly at freshly healed wounds, cough due to the constantly floating ash or snore loudly. Watches are manned and the night passes without incident. [sblock="For Lars"]Lars, your dream begins with you flying through deep caverns below the earth. You suddenly blast into the sky and you can see the lands below you, Gate Pass sitting hunched against a deep winter, its towers waving the flags of the Ragesian Empire. Then you're in a forest, lush and green and full of life. You chase rabbits, birds and deer. When you catch them, you wear them like clothes, feeling their heart beat and seeing the world as they do. A flash of light hits your eyes and when you look down you are in the body of a white stag, majestic and charging through the woods.
