<strong><span class="bbc_u">Zedd’s Dream</span><br/><br/>In the middle of a clearing, bathed in pale moonlight and surrounded by Cypress trees, Artemis crouched beside a fawn as it ate an apple from her hand. She stroked the fawn’s snout with delicate pale fingers before straightening. She was surrounded by forest animals of all kinds; bears, squirrels, raccoons, birds, but mostly deer. She looked over at Zedd and smiled softly, smoothing out the soft purple chemise she was wearing. Her chemise was loose fitting and flowed freely about her form as she approached Zedd confidently. Her delicate bare feet almost danced across the ground. Her head held high, the silver crescent moon sparkled in the center of her forehead, connected to the silver corded band that circled her head. Her honey blond hair hung freely about her shoulders and shined in the pale moonlight. She shifted the bow and quiver strapped on her back and breathed in a deep breath of the forest air.<br/><br/>“Isn’t that smell just delightful?” She asked, joy dancing in her midnight blue eyes. Her eyes narrowed slightly and her lips pursed, “Now I was supposed to tell you something… Oh yes! I’m supposed to tell you to go to some clearing in the Redwood Forest.” She thought for a moment, as if listening to some unseen voice in her head, before crouching and touching the ground. A deer walked up and nuzzled Artemis as a vivid map displayed in front of her. She reached up and absent mindedly stroked the deer before pointing to a place on the map. “There. That is where you must go, Zedd.” She straightened once more and brushed her hair behind her shoulders, a purely innocent stroke. She reached a soft hand to Zedd’s head and cupped his cheek. Her hand moved to position the fleshy part of her palm directly over Zedd’s forehead. She whispered a few words; the scent of the forest mixed with jasmine flowed from her.<br/><br/>“Now you will be able to see through an animal’s eyes, dear Zedd. Just reach out here,” she indicated his forehead by touching it lightly, “and you can locate any nearby creature. Meld with that creature and see with its eyes.” Artemis closed her own eyes and her mind seemed to drift away for a few moments. Her eyes sprung open and she turned to loose a shot on something unseen in the forest.<br/><br/>“Be swift, Zedd!” She added before taking off after her forest prey. The forest animals scattered about, leaving Zedd alone in the clearing.<br/></strong>
