"No no no, Rayla!" Callum shouted, but it was too late. Rayla and Viren had both vanished off the side of the peak and it was too late. There wasn't anything Callum could do to stop them.

The only thing he could do was jump after them.

The moment he was airborne, falling through the cloud behind them, he woke up in a cold sweat, back in his own bed. As he panted, looking for any sign of change, any indication that it had been real, that it wasn't just a dream, but he couldn't find any.

"It was a dream," he told himself, talking out loud, breathing deeply. "Just a dream."

But the real question was how much of it was a dream? Was Xadia a dream too? Magic dirt, adoraburrs, Zym, him learning magic...Rayla. Was it all a dream?

Making sure to be quiet, he crept across his bedroom floor, opened the door and peeked into Ezran's room. Inside he saw Bait and Ezran huddled together on the bed, deeply sleeping.

Callum heaved a sigh and crept back to his room, rolled back into his bed and tried to fathom the fact that it had all been a dream. How was he going to face anyone in the morning? Could he even look at Claudia again? Soren would still be keen on incessantly mocking him. At least the king would be alive, though it would be at the cost of something so deep and real having never happened at all.

Helloo old friends. So I know this is short as can be, but it's just a little baby prologue. I'm aiming to post more tonight, but we'll see what happens. Also, just to be clear, I'm Rayla trash so she is going to be in this story. HashtagSpoilers. Anyway, follow and review or whatever if you wanna. I'd love to hear from you if you have something to say.
