Alisha's POV
I had the dream again, the same recurring dream. Beneath the boundless black night sky, dazzling flames ravaged through the forest. I maneuvered through the scaring, towering trees, running ceaselessly in the dark woods.
My lungs felt as if they were about to explode, yet I dared not stop, for the howls of wolves and pursuing footsteps echoed relentlessly behind me. I knew that if I halted, I might never get another chance to rise.
My strength was ebbing away, and it seemed I could run no more. Accidentally tripping over something, I fell to the ground. Pain shot through my legs and chest. I felt as if something vital was draining from my body.
The wolf chasing me from behind seemed to have noticed, charging at me just as its fangs were about to pierce my throat. Suddenly, an amazing white wolf descended from the sky, slamming into the pursuing wolf, diverting its course.
