He dreamed dark dreams of blood and steel and fire. Dreams of death, and ashes. But he woke slowly, and as the dreams faded their details melted like fog, and he could no longer remember them. His nightmares were replaced by reality, and that was almost more ... http://boa.emeraldfyre.com/novel/chapter-12 Llara did not say anything as he told her his story.

But there was a hint of truth ... http://boa.emeraldfyre.com/novel/chapter-11 The stone glowed a brilliant green. Kyle just stared at it for a second, really shocked.

He ... http://boa.emeraldfyre.com/novel/chapter-10 Kyle collapsed onto the dirt floor of the cave, gasping for breath.
