All
of
the
sudden
Jasmine
felt
tired,
and
her
stomach
full
her
exhaustion
returned
.
Oh
dear,
she
said
out
loud
as
she
sank
down
until
she
laid
prone
under
the
log,
how
long
have
I
been
swimming
in
that
ocean?
Sleep
began
to
claim
her
again,
and
she
began
to
dream
.
Her
dreams
usually
tend
to
be
about
her
childhood,
of
the
times
with
a
loving
mother
and
a
strong
father
.
She
also
dreamt
of
the
times
with
Freyalise,
learning
the
ways
of
Mana,
and
her
guidance
through
some
rather
traumatic
chapters
in
her
life
.
Of
course
its
traumatic,
my
dear,
Freyalise
told
her
as
her
enhanced
senses
kept
her
from
thinking
straight,
much
less
sleeping
at
night,
Not
only
did
you
leap
so
far
up
above
your
fellow
humans,
as
humans
are
hardly
above
common
slugs,
but
this
happened
to
you
before
you
could
easily
bear
the
transition
.
I
know,
Ive
been
there
.
Despite
a
terse
tone
of
voice
and
a
manner
that
came
off
as
cool
toward
humans,
Jasmine
would
always
consider
Freyalise
as
a
compassionate
figure,
likened
to
a
relative
.
She
even
called
her
Aunt
.
There
was
another
thought
that
echoed
throughout
her
mind
as
she
slept:
The
affirmation
by
her
Elven
mother
that
everything
happens
for
a
reason,
nothing
occurs
in
a
vacuum
.
There
was
a
reason
Mama
found
herself
lost
in
Keld
when
she
met
Papa
.
There
was
a
reason
Jasmine
found
herself
floating
half
a
foot
above
the
ground
at
the
trunk
of
that
tree,
eyes
shooting
off
beams
of
light
.
And
there
was
a
reason
she
was
sent
here
after
one
of
Urzas
trademark
bombs
sent
her
flying
head
over
heels
to
the
far
end
of
the
plane
.
