Chapter 5

Stormy Nightmare

The storm was relentless as the night went on. Winds blew hard and rain struck the earth with intensity that few storms do. The lightning and thunder came and then faded off, but never completely left the river valley. In spite of the noise, everyone eventually fell asleep.

Sleep led to dreams and dreams led to visions for his parents struggling in the storm. Jolting awake, Thorik woke up from a nightmare and raced into his grandmother’s room. Her eyes were open but she was clearly sound asleep. “Granna! They’re in danger! We need to leave to save them.”

“What’s going on?” Brimmelle yelled from his room.

Thorik turned and raced to his uncle’s bedroom. “I know this sounds crazy, but I had this dream that my parents are in great danger and I need to save them!”

“Of course they are. We’ll leave once the storm subsides.”

“No. We need to leave now.”

“Thorik Dain, my sister left you in my control and I am not allowing you to race off in the middle of a storm because you had a dream. So get back to bed before I tie you to the bedposts!”

Thorik wiped the tears from his face and ran back to his room. He could only hope that he was wrong. Unfortunately, he couldn’t stop thinking about it. It seemed so real. And after a few hours of tormenting himself for not doing anything to help them, Thorik gathered his items along with some of his grandmother’s baked goods and put them in his backpack before sneaking out of the house and to the river.

Dark clouds and heavy rain limited his vision until the storm began to lighten up a bit. He took this as good sign as he jumped into a rowboat and made his way across the river to the other side.

Knowledge of the Spirit Peak’s location was simple after all of his map making. The challenge would be finding it at night. Distant lighting assisted him as he made his way on foot through the open forest, toward the Eldoric Mountain Range.

By the time he reached the point he was looking for, morning light was starting to shine upon Spirit Peak. Again, this appeared to be a good omen as the sun pierced through the clouds and brightened the peak for him to view. He was feeling fortunate in spite of having been walking in the rain all night.

Closing in on the tall column of rock known as Spirit Tower, he began to grow concerned. He had never traveled beyond this point and needed to determine which way to proceed. The hillsides were steep and the ground was loose. It was obvious why his parents didn’t want him to climb these mountain foothills. “The ghost will point the way,” he said to himself. Glancing about, he continued to hike past the peak. Frustrated at having no path to follow, he eventually glanced back at the peak and noticed that he was now in the shadow of rock column.
