Laylan 8
Laylan snuck out, late at night, to explore on her own. The big, full moon peered down at her as she walked swiftly toward Crystalwick Forest. She didn’t know where she was going, she just needed to go. She trusted her urges when they were this strong. It was almost as if she was compelled to walk, compelled to go somewhere.
Before long, she was standing at a waterfall, she knew deep inside, there was something on the other side, though she wasn’t sure what. With a deep sigh, she stepped into the waterfall. Her eyes were closed tight as she felt the shift in the air around her, and other than the lack of magick flowing around her, she could hear the difference as well.
The forest that she had left had been noisy, especially near the waterfall, full of the sounds of Cion. But this place was strange to her ears, it was noisy but the sounds of the forest were more tame. There were little chirps of insects all around her. What sounded like a ‘who, w

I woke in wonder. Who was this Zelimir? What did he mean by brother of light? What were they planning when Laylan looked through the window? And what was Ketheras? I asked myself question after question.I laid in bed pondering everything that I had seen in my dream. The man, Zelimir, who led her to the cabin. The red-headed woman, Grezelda, who spoke of faye and spells. Of Ketheras, whoever that is. It was dark magick that she spoke of, but is there really magick?After a while of reflecting, I finally hoisted myself up to start on my tasks for the day.I finished my tasks within a few hours, then sat down to write of my dream. The dream of Laylan racing and meeting a brother of light, whatever that was. He was very good-looking, and he seemed to have a good heart. There was something about him that was familiar though. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it, but I knew there was something. As the day went on, I decided to watch some movies

“Faster, Artimous,” Laylan yelled to her best friend or at least favorite unicorn. She was riding across the Scarside Plains outside of Beskal.In response, Artimous pushed harder and rode into Crystalwick Forest with such speed that the trees bowed from the force of the air around him. He galloped on; his mane fluttered back into Laylan's angelic face. Her own white hair was floating back. In her ears she could hear only his hooves hitting the ground and the twigs giving way to his body.They ran deep into the woods and came to the waterfall. Without warning, Artimous leapt into it and emerged into more vast forest that Laylan recognized, and she could sense the difference.Artimous slowed his pace and Laylan sat up. She looked around and saw that the trees around them, no longer radiated of Cion's glow. The trees were dark, angry, and full of pain.“Where are we, Artimous?” She gasped, though she knew the answer. She no lon

I stood in the kitchen cooking dinner. It was Friday and the day that Mitchell and Veda were coming for dinner, so I had been up planning all day. My morning began with starting the roast. Then I sat down at my desk and wrote about Laylan's ride with Artimous to the Mortal World and her meeting with Daemon. I wrote it all word for word. Then I'd cleaned the house, dusting, vacuuming, and laundry. After I was finally satisfied with my house's cleanliness, which took most of the day, I began preparations for the rest of dinner. About six-thirty, I heard the garage door open as an announcement that Josh and the others were here.“Perfect timing,” I whispered to myself as I pulled the roast out of the oven. I could hear voices and conversations nearing the door. As the door opened, Josh walked in turned toward Mitchell.“Yeah, and then he grabbed the nail gun all kinds of pissed off and started working again. But he wasn't paying any attention to what he

I looked around, trying to place where I was. It was dark, so eerily dark but I could make out the shadows of the furniture. I was walking down the hallway as if I knew exactly where I was going. At the end of the hallway, I turned to my left and strolled into a bedroom that I had never been before. My eyes were beginning to adjust as I walked perfectly around the end of the bed and stopped about three foot from the side of it. I could make out a figure lying on the bed. The covers were kicked off and I realized that it was a man lying on his stomach. His satin black pants caught the light coming into the window and shined. I took a step toward the bed trying to see if his face was familiar to me but his face was turned away. Suddenly, eight deep gashes appeared on his back, starting at his shoulders and moving down to the small of his back. I couldn't see what was causing it or how it was happening. Instinctively, I threw my hands up and heard a whisper coming from my own mouth. I h

I shot up in my bed; my sheets were soaked from sweat. I had let out a scream but no one was home to hear it. It was a dark shadowy day outside so my room was dim and I sat there wracking my mind, just trying to remember my dream. I couldn't really remember it; all I could recall was that it was frightening and more of a nightmare than a dream. I slowly moved to the side of the bed and decided to just go take a shower. I walked across the bedroom in all of my nudity to the bathroom. As I looked up into the mirror, I could see that my dark curly hair was now nothing but wet, matted frizz. I reached to grab a ponytail holder and looked back at my reflection. But it was no longer just me.There in the mirror, standing behind my own reflection was a tall, massive red beast with black tribal tattoos on his face and hideous yellow eyes. I could see a smile curling up revealing its sharp fangs and I found myself unable to do anything, even scream. Suddenly, it reached out, spun me around and

It was a long day at work, a typical Monday; it seemed to drag on as the time passed slowly. Mitchell and I sat down together at lunch and spent the entire hour talking about our wives. Their crazy dreams and alter egos had us both believing that in some way they might actually be intertwined somehow. It had only been three days since we all had dinner at mine and Abby's house, but Veda had already had another dream. Mitchell wanted to confide in someone that wouldn't think that his wife was crazy so that only left me. Who else could he talk to, about her dreams, that wouldn't think that she was crazy? If I thought Veda was crazy, I would have to think the same about my Abby. Especially, since my own wife had dreams of another woman.Finally, the clock read six o'clock and it was time to go home. I clocked out and walked out to my truck, waving at Mitchell as he did the same. “See you tomorrow, Mitch.”“Yeah, see you tomorrow, Josh.” I drove home in a hurry trying to just get to my re

Laylan walked hastily toward her destination. She was to see the man that she had met sometime ago. Zelimir was on her mind, and she had to see him again. She had been dreaming of him and needed to see him. She needed to talk to him. She wanted to know how he had felt about her. She wanted to know if he felt for her what she felt for him.As she neared the waterfall that would lead her to this man that she had fallen in love with, she felt a strange flutter in her heart at the thought of seeing him again. A smile crossed her face as she began to hear the water flowing and her steps quickened. Within minutes, she had crossed over into the Mortal World and was one step closer to him.She wasn’t sure where she would find him, but she had hoped he would be in the same cottage that he had been when they first met. Laylan bounced as she continued on, the anticipation building with every step. Soon she could see the cottage and the light of a candle shining in a window. She eased up close to

I woke up feeling sore and I had mixed feelings about my most recent dream. I now knew that Laylan had snuck out more than one night and met a man, but not just any man, a man that seemed somewhat familiar to me. I kept wondering how he was so familiar. They had made love! What had happened between them? How many more times did they meet?Question after question ran in my mind as I sat in my bed thinking.I lifted the covers and felt the stiffness in my arms. There were bruises, massive bruises that looked like huge handprints. I knew inside why they were there but I didn't want to admit it. I had encountered a demon, a very powerful demon. I lifted up on my feet and walked to the shower, glimpsing in the mirror as I did. I half expected to see that demon again but instead, I saw a flash of white, then red within a second it was back to my normal. I squinted my eyes at my reflection, trying to figure out what I had just seen.After my shower, I got on with the housework and sat down t
