Chapter 8-- Dark Promises

Fox woke in comfortable bed after suffering an uncomfortable dream. She cursed her unsettled mind. It seemed like an eternity since she had last slept on anything which did not move, was not hard, lumpy, or smelly. After being chased through a forest filled with both named and unnamed creatures, bitten by ravenous bugs, attacked by both rain and snow, as well as trying to figure out which direction Dakar actually wanted her to go, she felt this was a well deserved rest even if her troubled brain did think it odd there were so few people around.

Blinking her blurry eyes, she tried to regain sleep, but failed as her mind churned. Not only the inn seemed strangely deserted; the town also appeared underpopulated. The barren, dusty place was called Golden Leaves, but she wasn’t sure why. The nearby forest was dead and smelled rotted; maybe the place was prettier in spring. So far, she had only met three Golden Leaves’ people; the inn keeper, his daughter, and another patron staying in the room across from hers. There should be more…right? It only stood to reason; the town was too big for only three people. According to the signs on the buildings she passed on the way to the inn, there was a food stuffs store, a blacksmith’s shop, a tailor, a small bakery, a shoe shop, and the inn, which had twelve rooms as well as a large commons area. All of the businesses were closed except the inn, which she found eerie and too quiet.

Better yet, Dakar assured her she was near her destination’s end. Just a short ten miles outside of town she would arrive at her god’s forgotten temple.

Closing her eyes, Fox fought to regain sleep, but memories of strange dreams of another world drifted through her mind. One remembered dream had metal birds and metal carriages moving so fast everything she passed was a blur. Huge buildings, so tall they disappeared into the clouds, were everywhere. Strange people, in even stranger clothing, passed her on gray surfaced walkways, and bright lights lit the night with hues of red, blue, pink, and green. When her troubled mind stirred her awake she had a headache from the chaotic visions.

Making her wonder, where did all those images come from? Who were all those people, and why did her brain’s wandering during sleep seem so real?

Fox yawned. She didn’t know how long she had been asleep, but her aching, bruised body let her know it wasn’t long enough. Grumbling and with a curse on her lips, Fox placed her hand over Dakar’s mark; it itched and burned. He called. “And what does my pain in the ass god wish now…in the middle of
