A Dream... Or A Reality?

That night, I fell asleep quickly. I found out that being in two places at once was very tiring. I had the most unusual dream.

At first, there was only light. Then three beings took the light and placed it in me. It felt like an out-of-body experience and like this had happened before. I could see who was there and where I was. I had never seen this place before nor the people standing above me. I felt a strong presence come from those three people. They had a glow around them. It turned out they were three women.

One was dressed in green. Another had golden hair. And the other was very cheerful and had the biggest smile on her face.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"I am Yavanna," said the first.

"And I am Vana," the second said.

"And I am Nessa!" the last exclaimed.

"Pleased to meet you all. Why am I here?" I asked.

"Because we brought you here. We have given you gifts," Yavanna explained.

"Gifts? When? Why?" I asked.

"You already have them!" Nessa laughed.

"Oh. I do?"

"Yes. Each of us gave you a gift when you were born," Vana said.

"Which gifts? What are they?" I asked again.

"I gave you the gift of speed and love of deer," Nessa said.

"And I gave you the gift of song and the love of plants," Yavanna said.

"And I gave you the gift of beauty and the love of birds," Vana said.

"You gave me all that?! I don't know what to say," I replied.

"We only ask to use your gifts for the good of Arda. You must help them, Fawnabelle," they said. They started to blur. And their voices became far away.

"There is another gift, Fawnabelle," they whispered. It echoed through the space.

"What gift? I can't hear you! Speak louder!" I yelled. There was a great gust of wind. It brought many whispers of evil. I heard slashes and screaming. Pain and fire took over the place. People were around me. They were saying things I couldn't understand. I woke up and sat upright.

"Foresight," I heard. It echoed through my head. I was confused. I tried to fall back asleep but I couldn't.

"So much for normal," I sighed. I laid down on my back and waited for morning to dawn.
