“He had dreamed, he had dreamed...it left him.”

“For a moment Dustfinger felt as if he had never been away- as if he had simply had a bad dream, and the memory of it had left a stale taste on his tongue,a shadow on his heart,nothing more.”

“This morning, he had been doomed for a dismal eternity,but instead, standing before him was a woman giving him everything he had dreamed of but never thought he would possess.”

“He heard the voice that had called to him in dreams, had saved him from the sands and from following his brother into the river.”

“He seemed to be waiting for a miracle to save him from the depths his life had reached and take him to a land of dreams.”

“He could not play the game without hope; could not play the game without a dream. They had taken it all away from him now, they had turned away from him and there was nothing for him now...He was alone and there was nothing for him.”
