Talking fire

As CJ slept slipped into the dream world, the fire burned low. The embers continued to glow and flicker in the moonlight. His slumber was interrupted by a voice. It was coming from the embers! At first, he thought it was all a dream, but the voice grew louder and clearer.

"CJ, wake up," the voice said.

CJ rubbed his eyes and sat up, bewildered. His eyes focused on the flames which had erupted from the glowing embers.

“There is no end to this game CJ," the fire said. "It’s just a big loop."

CJ was still trying to get his bearings. He looked over at Nightmare, who was deep asleep.

"Your journey begins at the base of Mt Luna" the fire said. "There you will be shown what you are looking for."

CJ shook his head, still not understanding.

With that the fire puffed up and then blew itself out. Leaving a small cloud of smoke illuminated by the moon.

As the embers faded away, CJ lay back down, his mind racing. He coilsn’t fall asleep, but he felt excitement in the fact that at least now he knew where it was he had to go.
