He woke suddenly from a fevered dream and knew what he must do. Knew how he could call her to him. Knew how to let her know, even in her crazy reality that he required her help. He would sing an old chant for her and wait on her answer.
And so he stood in the early morning light and sang out lightly to the rising sun,
"Where the earth receives the seeds from the sky. Where the ancient fill the newborn with a breath of life. I will run once more before this body dies. I go running and I feel my muscles burning in the light."
"In our innocence the world is young and strong feeling that the center of perfection is this heart of mine."
Dante woke and wandered ever closer to the Silent Paw. The melody that he sang was beauiful and the child remained curiously quiet as if he were enthralled by the rich voice of the green Paw.
"Feel the mountain move to hear our song. See the children stand where they belong." he continued as he focused all of his energy, all of the mind, on her.
"Follow in my footsteps now" he sang.
"Follow in my footsteps." she answered.
"Follow in my footsteps." he again.
"Follow in my footsteps." came the female echo.
He gain momentum then encouraged by the soft singing female voice. "I am the lightning streak across the brooding sky. I am witness to the spirit of your sunrise."
The unicorn shimmered in the light of the sun as it broke from the horizon and he looked to Kalea standing dumbfounded nearby. Lightly he touched his horn to his side in a silent bid for her to mount.
Again the Paws voice rang out loud and clear across the open sky, "Call if your fevers rage! Is in need of tenderness. Feel that I am, feel that I am, feel that I am the medicine."
The Many-Color stopped next to the child and stomped his foot. Dante looked to him and scrambled up onto his back. "wha..."
"Shhh."
"Feel the mountain move to hear our song. Hear the thunder rolling for our song. Call the wind! Call the rain! Call the first ones by their names!" He all but screamed the words into the wind. "Call the moon! Call the sun! Call the blood back to my veins!"
And then he was off and running with the Unicorn, Many-Color and their burdens chasing along. And still he sang, "Follow in my footsteps now."
And she answered louder, "Follow in my footsteps."
Hearing her voice Trebor, now in a trance like zone, ran faster yet and cried out the words, "Follow in my footsteps."
"Follow in my footsteps."
"Feel the mountain move to hear our song. Hear the thunder rolling for our song. Call the wind! Call the rain! Call the first ones by their names! Call the moon! Call the sun! Call the blood back to my veins!"
"Follow in my footsteps now. Follow in my footsteps. Follow in my footsteps. Follow in my footsteps." he sang quietly now as he ran.
And finally she sang alone, strong and clear, "You can follow in my footsteps. Follow in my footsteps. Follow in my footsteps."
(The song is by Simon LeBon. It seemed to fit and made such a nice bridge into the next chapter. All copyrights are his!!)
