I wake up gasping.

I keep on having the same nightmare about the same place.

The red tree in the middle of the woods at night. The stars are shone upon me and a mysterious man in a hooded cloak.

It’s like he’s telling me to go there to see him.

"Dammit," I stand up from my bed.

I put my blonde hair into a messy platt and wear my clothes and then clip my cloak on before putting my hood on. I grab my bow and arrows and leave my house into the night.

I’ve seen this place before — with Alric.

Could it be him?

No, that’s stupid. Alric isn’t some sort of wizard capable of this — no-one is.

I just need to see the place for myself.

I run through the woods, jumping over logs and sliding underneath knocked down trees.

_Where is that red tree?_

I climb up a tree, gripping and stepping on branches. I look upon the woods and I see it.

I’m not too far from it.

I jump onto another tree, barely gripping the branch. I almost fall off.

I swing onto a smaller one and land roughly on it before I jump onto the ground.

I run to the tree. I run and run and run and-

I’m here.

"Hey!" I shout. "Come out! You wanted to see me so here I am!"

I must have gone insane. I pant and rest my hands onto my knees, bending over to catch my breath.

This is stupid.

"It’s just a dream," I close my eyes. "No-one is here-"

"You’ve been having dreams about me, sweetheart?" A hooded man steps out from the darkness. _The_ hooded man. _Alric._

I stand up and look at him. It’s been a month since we seen each other. Since the war. Since Tinka died. "Alric," I breathe.

"Clementine."

"It’s been a while."

"Too long."
