The clearing disappeared, replaced by a different scene…

I was standing in an open field. It was day, yet the moon was shining and full. In the centre of the field stood a woman dressed in what seemed like mourning clothes. She was singing, too. The same blue energy surrounded her, but there was something different about it… something dark.

Beside her lay two lifeless bodies. When I moved closer, I gasped with shock when I realised it was Thames and Rian and they were both dead. Their faces were peaceful in death and their hands were crossed over their chests, but there was something wrong about seeing them this way.

Something that made my soul cry out in protest.

When I looked at Neriah, her face was pale and streaked with tears and her hands were trembling as she continued to sing – as if she had no choice. And then her eyes met mine. For a moment, time froze.

Her eyes widened in recognition. I saw my face in hers. Our eyes reflected the same image, and then her lips began to move, whispering something I couldn't hear. But her expression – gods, her expression was pure agony.

I strained my ears, wishing I could hear what she was saying. Her lips formed the words again. As I opened my mouth to scream out, perhaps to tell her I couldn't hear what she was saying…

"Lyla?"

A voice snapped me out of the trance. The blue energy dissipated like mist in the morning sunlight as my feet settled firmly back on the ground. I gasped, my knees buckling as I collapsed onto the damp earth.

The energy left me instantly breathless and trembling. The song had stopped too.

The vision… what the hell was that? I clutched my chest, struggling to steady my breathing, my body was still thrumming from the raw power that had coursed through me.

A soft sound made me whip around.
