      "0": "Felis awoke suddenly, he had the feeling that he had just fallen onto his bedroll. It was as if he had been dreaming that he was falling and woke up before he hit, yet he could remember no dreams. He got up and began to attempt to restart the fire, which had long ago run out, \"Too bad she can't teach you to keep the fire burning,\" he said to the large lion which was cleaning its fur. \n   Soon he had a small fire burning and began a new carving. It was just a hunk of pine now, but Felis had the magic touch when it came to shaping wood, and it would soon be something measurable. \n   After a few minutes he slowly nudged Riverforge back to the realm of the living, \"Wake up sleepy head.\" He was not the one who was responsible to hunt for breakfast.\n   As Riverforge took up her bow and stretched she stopped cold. \"Felis...\" she said slowly, \"The camp moved.\"\n   \"I know,\" he said, \"I saw it when I first woke up. Well you wanted adventure, and now we have it.\" He slowly followed her gaze as she made a complete turn at the continuous trees on all sides.\n   \"Did we move, or did the trees?\" She looked up, the trees shielding the sky from them, she could see light, just not the sun. \"How about giving me a boost up to these trees?\"\n   \"No sweat,\" said Felis as he lifted her up into the high branches. \"Well?\" He said as she disappeared into the canopy of trees.\n   \"Trouble, big trouble.\" From where she sat in the strong branches all she could see was a continuous, rolling sea of tree tops, no clearings in sight. The woods had no end. It would have been beautiful if not for the scary fact that she could not see the mountains where they should have been in the east. In all the forests she had been in as a ranger, never had she seen a forest so large. It was simply the sun above the clouds, and the clouds above the endless trees. She slowly climbed back down and told Felis what she saw.\n   \"So, I guess we could assume that we, and the forest, moved. Or we moved to a different forest. Well we best be on our guard. Time for some training to loosen up?\"\n   \"I'd love to,\" she smiled, \"If you're sure you're up to it?\" she chided. They both began to stretch and loosen muscles, sore from the nights sleep. \"You'll have to take it easy on me since I just had to climb that tree.\" Smiling as she unsheathed her short swords from her baldric, the red sash over her shoulder which held her swords with a golden pin. They had burnished hilts with strong handles of mother pearl. \n   \"I've learned not to go easy on you, just watch out you don't get hit by a tree!\" She made a face at him as he loosed his arms by easily swinging his axe. \"I'm ready when ever you are...\" he voiced as he began to slowly circle to the left.\n   Both possessed awesome skills, skills they now unleashed upon each other. Riverforge, telepath and two handed fighter, moved with the grace of a panther and with the speed of a striking cobra. Yet her short swords blows had scant effect as Felis parried and blocked with his axe, while his titanic strength and sharp axe were of little use against a opponent he could not touch. Neither could gain an advantage, they were too evenly matched. Victory could only be won by exploiting a careless move, or a moments hesitation.\n   As Riverforge executed a back flip over one of Felis' strokes she chided, \"You can't win, my telepathic abilities allow me to anticipate your next move before--Overlord Thultrl flies in boats with wheels?!?!?!?\"\n   Felis spun to the right and tripped her from behind with the spike on his axe, sending her to the ground and as he laughed, \"It's gibberish I was thinking of, I thought it might confuse you!\" He grinned widely. \n   \"Very tricky, and simple...\" said a voice from the tree line.\n   \"Who's there. Show yourself!\" said Felis as he helped Riverforge to her feet. The sound was coming from in front of them. \n   Yet from behind them a man walked toward them. He appeared to be of average height, wearing black clothing of unrecognizable style. He sat down quietly by the fire. \"I'm here. What are you two doing in this wood?\n   Felis turned slowly.\n   The man regarded them as if there was no reason for them to react in such a manner. He began to warm his hands. He did not have many belongings and looked as if he had been in a fight a few days ago, dried blood was caked around a wound on his arm. He was arrayed in elven mail, like Felis', but at the same time, not like Felis' elven mail. He had a black scabbard which could only hold a long sword. The hilt of the sword appeared as if when grasped it would look like the mouth of a writhing demon engulfing the wielder's hand. The man had a crossbow slung across his back and a short black leather quiver strapped to his right thigh. Beside the quiver was an oddly shaped case, it seemed to be made to hold a rod of some sort, yet it seemed that it was constructed to be watertight. He had one silver ring on his right hand, one of blackest night (at first it looked as though he had no index finger it was so dark) on his left, and one dwarven hammer amulet, aside from that everything was hidden. \n   Felis nodded to Riverforge for her to be on her guard. \"We are simply traveling in these woods.\"\n   The stranger sighed, \"No one travels in these woods I think, or at least no one leaves...\"\n   \"Yes we saw that the forest seems to go on forever,\" Alexis piped up, sitting across the smoldering fire from the stranger. \"And I can't seem to get my bearings of the direction we came. I sometimes wonder if we are even on Toril anymore.\"\n   The stranger looked up, \"Then Slicer was right, I guess I should consider my self lucky to be anywhere. You say this world is called Thoril?\"\n   Felis looked confused, \"No, it's Abeir Toril. And who are you!\" He had not yet sat down and stood, wary of the stranger.\n   \"I'm a lucky man, simply that. Have either of you heard of a thing called the unlife?\" They both answered no from their silence. \"It came to invade our world, my world. They appear like the undead, but if one is slain by one, he becomes like them. Almost vampirism.\" Felis gives Alexis one of those, \"Who is this guy?\" looks. \"We were on a strike force, it was Myshella, Vulner... ah well, you wouldn't know them anyway, they are heroes of my world. It was ironic that I would fight along side such pure and lawful characters...\" pauses as he realizes he is trailing off.  \"We and a select group of individuals from across Krynn, that's my world...\"\n   \"Where?\" Felis interrupted.\n   The stranger looked disturbed and simply continued, ignoring the remark. \"...We captured one of their inverted floating pyramids and were attempting to fight off the unlife there. It was not until then that I realized how powerful Myshella had grown. I had traveled with her for many years and we had become separated by our differences in... well anyway.... It was a slaughter. Thirty of us were cut down almost immediately, it was simply the experienced who survived the initial charge of the unlife's forces. But those of us who were strong began to turn the tide as it flowed in. That was when Myshella surprised me, after all we had been through, she came to my aid as I was attacked by five or so unlife. She parted the group.... Anyway, later I was cornered by two anti-paladins, I was holding my own when I was hit from behind by a spell. Slicer was unable to stop the affect, and I could feel myself fading, unraveling and disappearing. I awoke a few days ago in this wood. It must have been some kind of plane shift spell or something.\" He smiled with pride. \"I guess they figured they couldn't handle me,\" his face clouds, \"but what of the others?\"\n   \"Um, I don't exactly follow what you mean, but I get the gist. So they stuck you here. But where exactly is here?\" Felis said.\n   \"I thought you said this was Toril, your world?\" Said the stranger.\n   \"No,\" replied Alexis, \"I said 'I wonder if we are even on Toril anymore'. I'm Alexis Riverforge, and this is Felis Strongarm.\"\n   The stranger stood, \"I am Ebon, Ebon Shatterstaff, at your service.\" He bowed to Alexis, sizing her up. \"Slicer and I have determined that this place\" he gestured around him, \"is a construct created be some kind of wyrm magic. But we can't track the source.\"     \"Who is Slicer, do you have a friend out there with you?\"\n   \"No, Slicer is my blade. He is a demon bound in it to be exact. He could take me there, to the source and I could end this now, but he is stubborn, he demands things for using his magic. Things I don't think I can pay now.\" He glanced at Alexis and then continued, \"Do either of you propose a way to get to the heart of this problem? If we can reach the wyrm I can handle it from there.\" \n   \"When you say wyrm you mean a dragon don't you?\" said Alexis apprehensively.\n   \"Exactly milady.\"\n   \"You mustn't think that you can defeat a dragon all by yourself,\" replied Alexis skeptically.\n   Ebon stood, \"You've never seen me fight. When I kill this dragon perhaps I will be sent back home and I can aid my,\" pauses, \"friends.\"\n   Alexis turned to Felis and said, \"Can you feel it?\"\n   \"Yes, ever since our camp 'moved' I have felt an evil dreading from that direction.\" He pointed to the right. She nodded, confirming the direction and shivered. Ebon seemed to be wearing a poker face. 'He can't feel it,' Felis thought, 'I wonder why.'\n\n"
