Prologue The Dream

The world was crumbling all around her. And she was in the middle of it all. Before her, stood a man, his expression cruel and impatient. He held before her a sphere. His words hummed in her ear like a cat purring… but it was coated with anxiety. What was he saying?

"Fear me. Love me. Do as I say and I will be your slave."

The offer was tempting. How easily she could have given in. Staring into his haunting eyes, she almost found herself surrendering to his will. But she couldn't. She had to save Toby.

How did that story end? Through dangers untold… check. And hardships unnumbered… check, check. She fought her way to the castle beyond the Goblin City. Check. She was trying to save the child that was stolen. Her will was as strong as his. Her kingdom was as great (whatever her kingdom was…). But how did that damn ending go? The girl searched for the words that had evaded her memory. Her eyes widened as they came crashing out of her mouth.

"You have no power over me!"

Mr. Too-Tight-Pants: You know exactly what I mean.

Moi: Maybe if you're nicer when the next installment comes out. But for now, I don't think so. (grins wickedly)

Mr. Too-Tight-Pants: No, you will change me back this instant or so help me I will drop you in an oubliette and leave you there forever!

Moi: YIKES! (to the reader) Leave lots of words of encouragement please. I gotta go. (runs away)
