Erin Solstice
|
Erin dreamt of swords flashing, of cannonballs exploding around her, and of blood. Rivers of blood. |
Klbkch
|
Klbkch stood in front of Erin and asked if she were ready. She looked at him as he bled in her arms. His mandibles opened, and he rasped into her ear. |

She shook her head. Dream Erin pointed and showed Klbkch a massive chess piece sitting on a hill. |

She was no longer holding Klbkch. Instead, Erin sat and watched as a body fell to the ground and oil burned around her. A dead Goblin’s face stared at her, and she woke in a cold sweat to see Toren standing in one corner of her room. |

It was better. Infinitely better than seeing the dead. Erin still threw her pillow at him. It struck him in the face—not hard, but loud enough to startle someone. |
Erin Solstice
|
It came from outside the kitchen. Erin was immediately seized by panic. She looked around for her frying pan and then remembered. |
Erin Solstice
|
Blearily, Erin kicked her bedding into one corner of the kitchen and walked out. It was still close to dawn, but surprisingly, someone was awake. |
Ceria Springwalker
|
Ceria blinked several times at Erin and nodded her head. It seemed the Elf mage was an early riser, but even she was half-asleep. |

She repeated the word. Erin swayed on her feet. |

Conversation done, Erin stumbled back into the kitchen to make food. Toren stood by, handing her pan, spatulas, and various food items as she pointed and grunted. Breakfast was scrambled eggs, toasted bread, bacon from some animal, and sliced cheese. |

Erin Solstice
|
It was unnatural how she could make a proper breakfast, but Erin wasn’t thinking about that at the moment. Her hands moved automatically as she thought about her dream. |
Erin Solstice
|
It had meant something. And for some reason, even though Erin had been dreaming about death and battle, she’d been thinking about chess. She always thought about chess, even when she was asleep. |
Erin Solstice
|
Still caught in the last fragments of her dream, Erin muttered the words. |
Erin Solstice
|
Erin scratched at her own head, wondering where that line had come from. Well, obviously it was about chess. But had she heard it somewhere? She felt like it was important. |

|
The bacon was finished and sizzling. Erin picked the fried strips of meat out of the pan, wincing at the spot of oil that landed on her arm. |
Erin Solstice
|
Too much oil. Erin had forgotten. It really got hot when you heated it up— |
Erin Solstice
|
The smell of burning flesh. Erin paused and looked around. A dead Goblin Chieftain lay on the floor. |

Toren
|
The slice of bacon slipped from her tongs. Nimbly, Toren dove and caught the bit of meat and delicately put it back on the plate. Erin blinked and came back to life. |
