Images whirled through Abeni's head. The dawn breaking over the horizon, a river run thick with blood, a cub, and a cliff... Slowly, the images all faded until a night sky remained. The stars were out and shining brightly. Abeni got up and looked around at this dreamland. This was very curious. She looked up at the sky and saw that some of the stars shone brighter than others. In fact, they almost made an outline. Could it be a constellation? Her brother Rutendo had taught her about constellations. They had tracked them all over the night sky, but she didn't recognize this one. The stars in the outline shone brighter and brighter, and mist seemed to swirl around it. The stars formed a lion! Abeni felt nervous at the sight of the lion. It was one of the Great Kings of the Past!
"You did well, attacking the outsider. My daughter was foolish to even accept them into her lands. Look at what the result has been!"
Suddenly more stars began to glow alongside the Great King and a lioness joined his side.
"You, friend of the Queen, shall guide her to her love. But the pride could be torn or strengthened from her actions. If she stands by what she has done then..."
The Great King and Queen of the Past began to fade, and soon Abeni was left with nothing but the night sky, which was becoming lighter and lighter. She had not dared interrupt the two as they spoke but now she cried out to them saying, "Who is your daughter? Who are you? What did she do to anger you? What will happen if she stands by her decision?"
The light from the sky became too much to bear and Abeni shielded her eyes from it.
Slowly, Abeni woke. Her head hurt terribly and her muscles were sore. Blearily, she opened her eyes and tried to get her bearings. A concerned face was near hers and Abeni pull back to look at who it was. "S-S-Sakura?" She mumbled. She blinked many times and then the world stopped spinning. "Is it raining? What happened?" Abeni's head burt so bad she lay it down on her paws as she looked up at the Queen.
