Revenant
I sat upright in my bed with such violence that my head reeled with confusion as it tried to awaken and catch up with my startled body. For a moment, all I could make out were the hands of darkness maniacally pressing down on my eyes. My breath rasped sharp and shallow. An intrusive, mid pitched droning coupled with a high-pitched beeping pulsated in my head. It took a few seconds for my dazed brain to realize this is what had woken me up. The flashing red light of the alarm skittered like a spider across my room and crawled into my bed.

Dragons Hunt in the Valley
Chapter 1 The First Foal Julia Wenger 6 June 2022 There weren't always dragons in the Valley. The night wasn't always eternal. Our Valley was peaceful and alive beneath the shimmering light of the Sun. The stars used to sparkle and shine upon the water. My herd didn't always worship the dead Moon. The Moon and her children used to shine in the constellations by the millions. Our horns were blessed with the light of her children. We were her favorite on the Earth, and our bodies glowed in her soft light. My people were glorious. It was said that the Valley would be in bloom for as long as our people lived here and that we should live in the Moon's light for eternity. We thought we could never see eternity end, believing the word to mean a measurement of time unending. But eternity, as it came to be known, always meant what is to come. Eternity has come. It is darkness. The Valley is haunted, and dragons hunt us. Eternity is our extinction.
