As Hope awoke she felt her toes and feet slowly grasp onto wet grass. She opened her eyes to be laying on the forest floor, the cracks of sunlight shining down on her face through the thin layer of thick oak trees. As she got up; Hope started walking. She didn't know why, she just felt like up above.... beyond that small elevated part of grassy Earth, that she had a purpose. Then she saw it. A ruin that was very small, for it only had one thing inside that took up all the room for anything else but air, and the Magical energy that seemed to be coming from everywhere in this land. In those ruins, lay a book. Wide open to a page of colors. Next to it where names. The names of those back home. She reached slowly for the book. It felt as if 500 fireflies had fluttered by as her finger landed on the thick page of paper, ever thought it where day. As she started pulling it closer; she almost had it all the way to her chest to read it and then- she woke up.
      "What a strange dream....." she then looked down at the old book sitting in her lap under the warm layer and hand knitted blanket.
