Allysa is running down an endless, dark stone passage. Fear grips her heart--some giant beast is in close pursuit. Passages open on either side of the corridor but she does not know which one to take and she fears being trapped by the beast. So she keeps running ahead. Suddenly from a side passage ahead of her a dark cloud erupts--she gasps and throws her hands in front of her face, sliding to a stop. Ravens--or crows--she's not sure--fill the corridor ahead like smoke and race toward her. Blocked in both directions, she throws herself desperately into one of the side passages. As she feared--it is a dead end. She backs against the wall and faces her pursuers. The angry cries and the wings of the birds echo in the narrow passage and in their midst--with glowing eyes and slavering white teeth--the biggest bear she has ever seen. She screams--

and awakens...lying in the back of the cart in blinding sunlight. "Oh gods..." she sits up and gasps, trying to calm her racing heart. ''Oh gods he's after me! What am I going to do!''
