(( Nice avi Glaive ))<br/><br/><blockquote><div><cite>Aurion wrote:</cite>"You dreamed, yes." Aurion said as he removed his hand from Gale's forehead. "Whether good or bad, we are given dreams to warn us of what is ahead and also what is in our hearts. Dreams are a shadow of the future or of ourselves; they are never to be feared but embraced and used for our good." He placed his hand on Gale's shoulder. "The individual we seek has been seen and yet unseen. There has been no clear description except that the figure is tall, dresses in black, and carries a large weapon."</div></blockquote><br/><br/>Gale realized that there were far too many people that could easily match that description.<br/>"This person might be harder to find than I thought. However, I do know a friend who could help us. She knows a lot of people around these parts, very observant too. She might be able to point us in the right direction." Gale thought of the quickest way from the beach to her house.<br/>"It's about three miles, but if you don't mind the dark, we can make it two if we go through the tunnel from the wood."<br/>He knew the tunnels from the nights when he had helped his father load casks of smuggled brandy, silk, and coffee beans that had been brought ashore by small boats. His father had been a fisherman, a hard and poor life that he supplemented by the occasional trip offshore to a Armedle schooner from which he would return with wonderful things.
