They were by the lake, the four of them, the day is sunny and windy. But she isn’t there, she is Amet yet different. A strange boy with scales and his smoky black and white coat is coming towards them, he wants something.
Iset is drawn to the newcomer, walking straight to him and leaning into his side. And the other boy too, she had often seen by the lake during the summer, but she doesn’t know his name. His coat was very like the scaled boy who was not Amet and he had great dragon’s wing on his back. In her sleep, she shudders she remembers the night she was burned, and the way the fire had reflected off his inky wings as he landed beside Amet. Tang, or Amet, is invisible as she tries to convince them to stay, not to leave with this stranger. But they do not heed her. She grows frustrated, screaming at the top of her lungs at Iset and the other boy with the name she does not know. But her voice comes out in a thin bird’s song, and they ignore her.
And then Tang or Amet, (they are fluid), is sinking in the now red lake, trying to swim but her legs won’t move, the red water is reaching down her gullet.
Tang wakes gasping for air. The dream as clear as if she had just lived it, it felt different from her other dreams. “Amet” she whispers in the dark, her breathing ragged. “I think something bad is happening again.” She buries her head against the scales of his neck, letting his mane cover her, like she has done so many times before. “It was a strange boy, and he took Iset and the tobiano colt with the wings, the colt who flew to you on the… the night of the fire.” She alludes the attack which had burnt nearly half of Hyaline and she suddenly feels guilty for bothering him. He already had so much to worry about, he didn’t need to add comforting her after scary dreams to his list of duties.
“Sorry…. It’s probably nothing.” She says, her breathing is steadier but she still feels disoriented and adrift. She aligns her body with his, drawing warmth from his side. She can still feel the red water enclosing around her, but his touch drives away the sensation. “I shouldn’t have woken you.”
@[Amet] so this is Tangs first encounter with her new precognition, it’s a little rough but trying to throw this up before work
