Dreams and Miracles

Even though Andrev and Rastaban had discovered that they didn’t need nearly as much sleep as normal people, every few days they had to rest, so they took turns, one sleeping, the other guarding.

When it was Andrev’s turn to sleep, he dreamt of Kana.

At first he thought it wasn’t a dream at all but a miracle, seeing Kana crouched in the shadows beyond the glow of the fire. Andrev glimpsed her just through his eyelids as he closed his eyes, and he had to open his eyes, sit up, peer.

Rastaban was looking away from him.

Kana beckoned.
