(before all the rumbling and all the falling out of trees)
Xan was curled up in a tight ball, in his nightmarish sleep. His memories were always his nightmares. He tossed and turned, mumbling to himself. "No, don't take me....hrmm.. no..not again.....please! DON'T TAKE ME!!!" Xan suddenly woke, sweaty and gasping for air. Thy was seated next to him.
"Having nightmares again, Xankain?" he asked softly.
"Um, yea."
Thy lifted his head and looked around through the darkness.
Xan asked, "What is it?"
"Something is coming."
Suddenly, the ground began to rumble and Raz fell out of his tree. "Told you." Thy said as the two Muds stood up and watched the three figures approach.
