<strong><span class="bbc_u">Phaedra’s Dream</span><br/><br/>The lush vividly green forest appeared around Phaedra’s seated being. A happy humming could be heard and around a tree came Persephone’s form. Her body moved lithely and her light blond hair bounced in the wind. Her pastel blue dress flowed freely in her movements. With every step she took, a patch of flowers blossomed under foot. Each time one of her pale hands brushed the thick bark of a tree, a hunk of moss sprouted in its place. Persephone looked over, as if just realizing Phaedra’s presence, a happy smile played on her face.<br/><br/>“Isn’t it beautiful?” Persephone asked in a dreamy tone. “So much better than those dark stone walls…”<br/><br/>Persephone shook her head, trying to focus. “I come to you again, Phaedra. We need your help.” Persephone sat down in front of Phaedra, and with a swipe of her arm, the grass before her bent to her will, revealing a map. “Go here, Phaedra. It’s quite beautiful this time of year. You will be told more when you arrive.”<br/><br/>Persephone rose but bent down and placed a pomegranate in Phaedra’s lap. “The seeds are kind of bitter but consumption of a single seed will keep you full for an entire day. The seeds will replenish after a full day. Use them sparingly, for too much use may get the attention of Hades and I promise you do not want him owning your soul…” Persephone shivered even though the sun was warm on her skin. A few seconds after her solemn words, she vanished.</strong><br/><br/><div align="center">(http://www.freshplaza.com/2007/0717/pomegranate.jpg)</div>
