The girl from my vision. Was this real? Was it all real? Nothing made sense anymore. The world was turning upside down. I saw fire and a smoldering ruin, surrounded by oblivion. My head was spinning and I felt myself falling. But right before I hit the ground, I felt someone catch me. As fire consumed my memory, I heard her voice above me. "Hey. My name's Alba. Let's get you out of here."

A foggy pond haunted my dreams. A huge banyan Tree (I only knew that because of a picture I saw in the newspaper. Hey! Poor kids can read a few things) sat on a tiny island in the middle, seeming to glow in the mist. There were four trunks to the Tree and if you've ever seen a banyan tree you'd know what I'm talking about. On each trunk a word was etched in gold, LOVE, ANGER, JOY, SADNESS.
