It had been three days since Charjer had arrived on the floating island of Darbonne. The sun was beginning its rise over the land. Charjer still lay in slumber on one of the beds in the first aid station where he had come to meet his new friends upon his arrival. The first aid station was run by a group of female hobbits called the Little Sisters of Mercy.

Charjer tossed and turned in his sleep as his dream came to him.

In his dream, he sees an elven maiden in a long blue robe face to face with a monster with six glowing eyes and large fangs. She was hunching over someone. A man who was grasping his weapon in his left hand. The large fiend moved toward the couple, but was forced back as the maiden shot a ball of fire at her adversary.

The fallen warrior had begun to stir and saw the beast as he looked up. He tried to move the arm that held the weapon, but to no avail. He looked down at his arm to see it was lying dead at his side. When he looked back up again, the monster was charging at them. How would he survive this time?

Charjer abruptly awoke from that nightmarish realm covered in a cold sweat. He had never dreamed so vividly before and it all seemed so real. Gohan walked over to him and pat him on the back. "Hey, you look like you been through hell." Charjer nodded, then look at him with a confused look.

"What time is it?" he asked.

"The crack of dawn," replied Ryoga, who apparently had also just rosen from his slumber. He was walking to the table Ate, Cueball, and Smirk had camped out on and stretched before he joined them for breakfast.

"You're early," Charjer said to Gohan. "Everything all right?"

Gohan nodded in response. "C'mon, let's go get something to eat while it's still hot." The group at the table giggled quietly. Gohan moved to the table and sat down next to Cueball. Charjer sat on his bed for a few minutes longer, then stood up and took a seat next to Ryoga.

Ryoga looked at him, observing the sweat as it dripped slowly down his face. "Hey, everything all right?" he asked.

Charjer nodded. "Yeah, just a nightmare is all."

"Oh yeah?" said Ate. "What about?"

"I'm not too sure. I saw this warrior who looked like he had been injured and he was carrying my weapon in his hand. There was an elven maiden hunched over him, kind of like she was protecting him. They were being attacked by a giant monster with six eyes and she created a fireball that she shot at it."

"Hmmm, sounds like a mage. What was she wearing?" inquired Ryoga.

Charjer thought for a moment. "It looked like a blue robe, designed with..."

"Wolves?" Gohan asked. Charjer nodded.

"Yeah. Know her?"

"Met her here and there in my travels," replied Gohan.

"Hmmm," said Charjer thoughtfully.

"Well," spoke up Cueball. "Best not to dwell on it for now. Let's eat."
