<font>The girl, soaked from the stream, swung around with her hands on her hips. She was glaring at the half-transparent Jabi. “Now what is it that you want, Jabi – is it?”
“I…have no idea” Jabi laughed, covering his mouth until it was just too much and he burst out in full chuckles.
Cassandra was inflamed by this “apparition’s” crude sense of humor. Her dark eyes were glaring into those of the blue ones watching her from the rock, He was actually a fine boy…”shape” rather. He had bright blue eyes and blonde hair, he looked strong and he appeared to be around the same age as Cassandra.
“Be gone shape!” Cassandra yelled, even her beloved equine friend startled by her tone of voice. Looking oddly upset, Jabi disappeared.
“Finally” Thought Cassandra as se walked over to Nemesis. “I have no idea what to do from here” she said as she stroked her steed’s face. They were still in view of the castle – their former home, but now it only looked as a speck on the hillside. “I could never go back there, they all mocked me, the never believed me, and that damned fire!” she screamed through her tears. As she wept against Nemesis’s withers she heard something in the trees above. Looking up; she saw absolutely nothing. As she glanced over to the bank of the creek she heard humming.
“If you’ve lived in the castle and in the shadow of your dream, if you woken every night with the sound of a scream…” She heard a voice sing.
“What? Who? Where? Are you?!” Cassandra screamed. “How dare you mock me, Bastard?!
Again the shape of a blond boy half appeared by the creek, he almost looked as if he was a ghost, “Oh, I do not mock you Cassandra, I am only reciting the legend”
Cassandra’s eyes went wide, “what legend?”
“Oh, you wouldn’t care. I’m only a “shape” according to you miss.
Cassandra’s eyes narrowed at Jabi, “Very well shape, I do not want to know then!” She began to pace in her frustration, “Why, why the hell won’t my mind leave me be? Must it keep torturing me like this?”
“If you’ve lived in the castle and in the shadow of your dream, if you woken every night    with the sound of a scream,
If you’ve left your life and your family behind, and left with your steed into the hillside,
If you’ve seen what all others seem to have not, If your thoughts have left you alone and
distraught,
And if you have cried all the tears you’ve needed to cry, it’s the time to see out from your minds eye,
With the boldness of the wolf, and the kindness of kins, a legend’s begun, a journey begins.”
The boy sang, and Cassandra was astonished, could it really be, was she a legend?
“Please?” She pleased, “Tell me more of the legend?”
Jabi was pleased by her begging and with a smirk he began to tell her of her destiny, but will the traumatized girl – young woman be willing to accept her true purpose?</font>
