Faridell

You quickly make a break back on to the path. But the troll has spotted you. He maces you into a tree and you are sent to a land of dreams.

****************************************

You wake up to a vicious howl. You burst awake. The moon shines down on the pitch-black forest. The grey tress stand around you and your ears are full of their whispers. You have been left here by the troll to perish a slow painful death. It looks like the end. You sigh and try to contemplate everything. There is no way you can survive. Almost all your bones have been broken and you are bleeding heavily. The pain is immense. You sigh and try to go back to sleep and remain... but... there is something there. Something keeping you awake. A bright glow envelopes you and you feel yourself levitate high above the ground... and then above the trees. You are flying high into the sky. Wings fold out of your shoulders. The cold night air caresses you. The stars around you morph into great spirits. A beautiful voice sparkles around you.
"Welcome to the Kingdom of the sky. We are the spirits of this forest. We protect who wish to help it, and destroy those who wish to harm it." A beautiful elven Queen floats down beside you. Her blue luminous eyes of hope stare right through your mind.
"You do not deserve to die, and you cannot. For this land needs you. We are but spirits, and we cannot revive the dead but we may heal the wounded. If you may help us we will grant you any wish you desire." Her voice suddenly grew grave.
"And what might that be?"
