Using the last bits of day time to your advantage you set out to exercise the day away,
after around twenty minutes of trying to do situps and several times smashing your face against the floor while running you give up. Making your way up the stairs with rapidly growing bruises and a bloody nose you find yourself collapsing onto your bed in no time, only remembering to grab the dream knife before falling asleep. After several seconds you fall completely asleep expecting to drift into your own dreams, but after a moment you find your totally aware of the fact your asleep, and the fact that you are not dreaming but whoever your visiting is.
Looking out from the top of a wooden tower over a collection of houses, stores, smithies, and the like that you know to be the town nearby, how you know your unsure of but you know it all the same.

'Give me the onessss I ssssseek and the ressst of you will live to sssee another day. If you refussse then you will all die and I will take the onesss I want.With that it turned, directly towards you, and for a second a you could feel its eyes boring into you, wanting to devour you before the entire dream disappeared and you drifted into normal sleep. Waking up with a shudder you jolt awake, sweat covering your face, and the knife coming up as if to strike an intruder. Shaking yourself slightly you crawl out bled and drop the dream dagger onto our bedside table. Looking out the window you see the sun coming up and think,
