ic:Lyrahrae nodded to his master, and fell back on his bed. Soon the young elf was dreaming, his mind lost in a deep sleep.
A beautiful woman clad in a white robe walks towards Lyrah, it seems as if there is an aura of light about her. She steps up to him slowly, and places her hand on his forehead, softly calming his thoughts.
'Mother'
Lyrah said, now knowing who the beautiful woman was.
'Yes Lyrahrae, It is I. Your father wishes you well. We are sorry we had to leave you with master Eruna, but he is the only one who could possibly cure you.'
After a pause she carried on,
'Your father and I...We have something for you. It will let you control your lupine state if you wear it, however, the cure your master searches for will need to be used on it, you must decide between controlling yourself, or destroying your other half.'
Lyrahrae's mother stretched out her arm, to Lyrah, she held in it a silver chain, with a glowing Ruby pommeled in it.
Lyrah reached up, crystalline tears dripping down his cheeks.
'Thankyou mother' He whispered, softly,
As Lyrah took the chain, his mother's pearly dress turned a dark black, and she started to change.
'No, Mother, No!'
Tears were now streaming down Lyrahrae's face, but these were different tears, tears of fear.
The Wolf reared up and slashed it's paw across Lyrah's chest.
Lyrahrae woke up, his heart beating wildly, sweat soaking his body. He felt something cold around his neck, he put his hand into his tunic, and pulled out a silver chain, with a glowing ruby enpomelled in it.
