long dreaming, I felt fully rested and refreshed. I didn't want to look
under the blanket, but I knew I had to throw it aside and I did. I still

although within my belly I felt warm as well.
I looked at the room and I recognized the windows. Lead, and so I
realized I had spent the night at Thom's house. As I rubbed my head in
confusion my fingers found a bump, probably from when I had fallen from my
horse.
The door opened and Thom entered the room. "Darynn? I heard you
shout."
"I had a dream," I said.
He sat on the bed and smiled. "Part of a dream," he assured me,
laying his hand on my thigh. He wore no boots this morning and I could see
his hooves clearly. "You did not dream last night."
"But I still live."
"You learned the secret to living," Thomorr
