Chapter 7

Decades had come and passed. Yet I had come no closer to the meaning of
the Dream. It was as if it were some nimble rogue, silently evading my
every turn... My every thought.

How could a hornet be related to anything with a sentient nature?

Was this Dream nothing more then just that? A dream to be forgotten?

Happenstance brought me to the desert city of Hamsah Mu'tazz. It was
there the evasion came to a halt... It was there that the swarming in
my mind began to grow overwhelming.

I was led north, through a small farming community, into the greatest
city I had ever seen. Enormous buildings and structures lined each side
of the road. Brilliant banners and flags baring the symbol of which I
would soon come to know very well.

With each step the malicious ravaging intensified. Echoes reverberated
in my skull.

The pain increased.

A small church.

An enormous statue of a Golden Hornet.
