16 The dreamscape …

Lyla

I was running , my heart was hammering wildly in my chest as my boots dug

into the earth .

My breath was coming in shallow gasps as the weight of the armour I had on pressed on me .

This was strange , alien to me – everything felt wrong .

I looked down , to see the shiny metal covering my chest and my arms .

In my hand was a spear and a shield in the other hand .

I would stop for a second and open my mouth to shout but no sound would come out .

@

I was frustrated but I kept moving , charging at the wolves that came at me .

I threw the spear to the first wolf that leapt high in the air , aiming for my throat and used my shield to knock off the other coming at me from the other angle .

Soon , the sound of swords clanging and knives filled the air .

The wolves we fought were not ordinary .

Their eyes were filled with deep hatred that emanated from every pore of their body .

They fought with vengeance ; it was as if they were possessed by something .

I could feel my arms burning with pain but I surged forward , charging into them , digging my spear deep into their fur .

I could feel danger looming overheard – a dark premonition yet it felt … right .

Familiar , except something was off .

I was moving like a man – my body was stronger ; my strides were wider .

When I lifted the spear to strike , my muscles moved with perfect synchronization .

This was not the first time I was doing this .

I paused for a while , my hands on my knees as I tried to catch my breath.

Suddenly , my gaze flitted to my image on my shield and I shuddered with fright .

I had beards – I was a man .

But I was Lyla too … at least inside , I was .

I could feel it .

As I tried to understand what was going on , a spear sank into my chest , piercing through the thick armour and right through my heart .

As I fell to the ground , my mind spinning , I wondered if this was normal .
