Vulcan abruptly woke up, heart pounding. He looked around - he was back, safe in his nest near Mediatas Village. His two remaining children, Bront and Rell, were curled up beside him, fast asleep. Vulcan sighed and looked out at the cavern exit. From the look of things, it was almost dawn - no sense trying to go back to sleep now. When he was done, Syrie whispered, This doesn't sound good. I, too, have been wondering about Taka's whereabouts. If your dream was indeed trying to tell you this... then I think we need to find him.
