Uther's dreams had never been sweeter, the clarity of a full night sleep actually brought to mind old memories of Uther and Jane camped out by a river. Both were awake, Uther laid on his side across the fire with Jane who was having trouble with a can of beans. That night the two became more then fellow gang members, they had shared stories and information of their families. Uther did not have much to share, he grew up the town nuisance but Jane had a family back east, a sister but why she had left west was what moved him. Jane was not the type one would expect to have a quick draw and a deadly persona. His dreams shifted to day after their son was born, the stubborn woman was intending to leave from her bed rest to tend the animals but what really turned his dreams was the vision of her and their son under the tree they had married. "It is time Uther, take care of her...move on with your life." She had spoken to him before he felt a chill run up his spine and he woke up late into the morning in an empty bed. His arms reached for the form of Sarah and found only empty sheets, he rolled onto his feet in a panic and noticed there was no signs of her.<br/><br/>Last time he had been to late, not this time, not again! Uther was quick to climb into his trousers and boots, grabbed his pack and shot out the house to the stables. A trail of dust was left in his wake as he spurred the horse onward!<br/><br/>---<br/><br/><br/><em>Back at the caves...</em><br/><br/>The caves were devoid of life and activity, the miners had been chased off by whoever had claimed the mine. The rumors were true, someone was holed up deep into the mines and either sought the veins of gold for themselves or wanted to convert the area into a base of operations.<br/><br/>The sound of movements could be heard further down, but was it the Castle brothers? Sarah would have to go deeper into the hollow earth to find out.
