Cassie awoke in the morning, her heart still heavy with the strange dream she'd experienced the previous night. She held the silver locket, gazing deeply into it. A sense of disbelief clouded her thoughts. She had no idea how the locket had come to her or why the strange symbol engraved on it looked so much like the one she'd seen on the temple wall in her dream.
After spending the morning in reflection, Cassie tried to calm her mind by staying active around the house. Kevin was out buying supplies, and Hanna was helping in the kitchen. But no matter how she tried to escape the unease hanging over her, her thoughts kept returning to the Arakyn Mountains and the mysterious man who had accompanied her in the dream. It was as if a magnet were pulling her back to that place, where she felt her destiny awaited, unresolved.
