“I’m so…tired.” Tarro flopped down on the ground at a safe distance from the forest. They had trudged along all day through the mud and the bushes and the scratchy trees. Akira fell down after him. “Now…all we have to do is wait for Kumi…” he breathed in between pants. Tarro picked his head up a little. “If she’s still alive…” Tarro sighed. They both gave a long stare to the near forest, slowly lightening as the sun faded out of the sky.

“Who are you…? Kumi said in awe. She stared into a burning white light that seemed to smile back at her. The spirit reached out and stroked Kumi’s cheek with light, feathery fingertips. Kumi smiled and held out her arms to the spirit. It lovingly took Kumi in its arms, singing a new song in its beautiful, flawless singing voice.

Close your eyes
Feel the ocean where passion lies
Silently the senses
Abandon all defenses

A place between sleep and awake
End of innocence, unending masquerade
That's where I'll wait for you

Hold me near you
So close I sear you
Seeing, believing
Dreaming, deceiving

A place between sleep and awake
End of innocence, unending masquerade
That's where I'll wait for you

Sleepwalker seducing me
I dare to enter your ecstasy
Lay yourself now down to sleep
In my dreams you're mine to keep…

The spirit serenaded Kumi with the dreamy tones of the song “Sleepwalker” another song from Nightwish. Kumi danced along with the tune as the forest glowed with the spirit’s white aura. White lights rose up from where ever the spirit floated and twirled along with the music. Kumi didn’t even realize that it was night and she was dazzled by the spectacle of lights.

The lights floated closer to her, and Kumi caught one in the palm of her hand. It glowed radiantly and she stuffed it in her pocket. She followed the spirit and the glowing lights, her eyes never leaving them for even a second. She was mesmerized with the lights, not even noticing that the spirit was leading her out of the forest. Kumi danced along until she heard no more music. The lights were fading and the spirit floated away and was enveloped in darkness. She suddenly felt disoriented until she heard voices from a few yards away.

“KUMI! YOUR ALIVE!” Tarro shouted. He jumped out of a shrub and tackled her to the ground. “We thought you died! Its midnight!” He exclaimed. Kumi look baffled. “Whaaa…?” “Its midnight! Didn’t you see the sun go down!?” “Uhhh…” “KUMI! SAY SOMETHING!!!” Tarro shook the young blonde girl but to no avail. Kumi had passed out, but why?
