That night Elric had a dream, a dream that haunted him every night after that. He would be standing in an open meadow, simple clothes on his body, his hair untied and a beautiful red haired woman who greatly resembled Melissa would be standing a stone through away from him.
But every time the lycan tried to reach her, there was an invisible force that would stop him, he would call to her asking her name and what she wanted, but all she did was give him a side smile and turn away.
As many nights passed and the fourteen days time period Gareth had given Elric grew shorter, the woman's smile kept fading until finally in the eleventh day she didn't smile at him anymore.
In the dream Elric had on the twelfth day, the woman wasn't at the meadow, and for some reason it made him panic, he looked for her everywhere and could not find her. He was getting worried, what did her disappearance mean? Was it a bad omen of the incoming war with Gareth?
