Sunlight crept over the windowsill of the girl's bedroom window, and before long, Phaedra was woken by its insistent brightness.  She stretched her long legs, and the cat asleep on the bottom of the bed, mewed indignantly.  "Oh quiet puss!  It's time to get up!  For a change the sun is shining!"  She swung her feet out of bed, and slipped them into soft sandals, grabbing a robe from the bottom of the bed, and wrapping it around her shapely form.<br/><br/>She went downstairs, with the cat hot on her heels, as she knew there would be food soon.  Phaedra lit the fire, and set water to boil, ready to make herself a herb tea, before finding some food for the now insistently meowing cat.  When she sat down with her drink, and slice of home made bread and butter for her breakfast,   she began to plan her day.  She had various jobs to do around the garden, and then later she would go into the forest just to walk through the trees.  It was the only thing that kept her sane, removing stress from her mind and body.  Her thoughts suddenly brought back last night’s dream, and she shivered as she remembered.  She felt that she had to share her dream with someone, and the only person with her at the moment was the cat, so she was the one who heard Phaedra’s remembrances.<br/><br/>“I had the strangest dream cat, the Goddess came to me, showed me a map and told me to go there, but my problem is I’m not sure where ‘there’ is.  She gave me a pomegranate, too, a special one with magical powers, it was wonderful!  Shame it was just a dream.”  The girl stood, to clear away her pots, and gave a gasp as she noticed a pomegranate, gold and pink, perfectly formed, gleaming on the table in the sunlight.<br/><br/>She looked around bewildered as if to see who had been in her kitchen, and left the fruit, but of course no one was visible.  She murmured softly.  “But if it wasn’t a dream?...Does that mean the Goddess really visited me, and needs me for a task?”<br/><br/>She gazed off into space desperately trying to recall the map that the Goddess had shown to her in the grass.  She sighed really exasperated with herself.  “How could I be so stupid?”  She was near to tears, but stopped herself, and did the only thing she could think to do in the circumstance.  “Please Goddess Persephone, hear my prayer, I am your willing servant and will answer your call, but please I didn’t understand where it is I am to go, please could you let me know?”<br/><br/>She also acted upon her prayer, finding her old Atlas and flipping through the pages to see if anything leapt out at her, but nothing seemed to.  She would have to wait until the Goddess answered her prayer, in the meantime she went to get washed and dressed, and began to pack a bag, perhaps if the Persephone saw she was readying herself for a journey, she would return to inform her of her destination<br/>
