Eden awoke in a beautiful emerald forest. Lush trees pressed in around her, embracing her, and the sound of bird song filled her ears. Looking up in awe she began to walk forward and next thing she knew, she was falling. She hit the ground and collapsed into a bundle. She rolled over and rubbed her shoulder on which she fell. Looking up again she saw gravel and sand following her into the hole.. No, not hole. A cavern. She could see blue sky through the trees above her. 

As she got up, the hole into the cavern began to retreat. While she was sitting the ceiling appeared to be in arm's reach but as she rose it retreated to be three times as high as her. "What?" She exclaimed, looking around the cave it appeared to be lit from the inside, a golden aura shone out the rock. 

"Hello my champion" a voice boomed through the space, a mighty voice, as strong as a boulder. Eden's first reaction was one of fright, followed by the thought "I am not your anything." She was shocked to discover that her thoughts echoed through the cavern without her mouth moving. The voice rumbled with quiet laughter. "I am Taurin, born of brown earth and golden sun. And we have chosen you to be our champion" the voice boomed again. "Who's we?" Eden asked, the voice halted, unsure of how to answer, but Eden was off already "where am I? And what do you mean by champion?"

"I have a gift to give, power, amazing power. And on our-my behalf you must go into the human world and fight my enemies"
A boulder a way off from Eden moved, and split open. Revealing a great big golden eye that stared into her soul. An image of Sauron's eye in Lord of the rings, flashed briefly through her mind. 
"Who will I be fighting?" She was uncomfortable underneath the crushing power of Taurin's gaze. 
"The occasional ogre, maybe a troll. Nothing drastic. At least not until your strength has increased" the eye moved, as did a large part of the cave floor, at first Eden feared an earthquake, but then she noticed it was only part of the cave moving, what she took to be a hill shook and burst apart. Rocks flying everywhere, with a cry Eden rose her hands to protect her face. When the dust settled, before her was a mighty beast. It's scaled rippled, reflecting granite, then lush forest, then desert, then rich clay and fields of wheat. It's eye was as big as her torso, it's head was massive, four people could fit in it's jaw, before it even opened her mouth. Strangely, she was not afraid. But the awe she had for this mighty god brought her to her knees. A large smile crossed her face, as she dreamt of riding this amazing creature into battle, her face painted with gold shouting a mighty war cry as she crushed the oppostition. "Let's do it" she said with a lunatic sparkle in her eye.

Eden woke up, blinking slowly as she stretched. The clink of metal drew her out of her mental slumber. Her body was adorned with rich armour. She had such a strange dream that night, with a dragon, who gave her powers and a sword and armour. Looking alongside her bed she jumped when she saw the sword. Without thinking about it she threw the sword into the cupboard and closed the door. She struggled to find the straps to get the armour off and it followed the sword into the bottom of her cupboard. She stood panting with effort against the closed door. Then she slowly pulled it open again. The armour was still there, gleaming at her. "So it wasn't a dream" she gulped. Someone knocked on the door. Peeking her head around the door she looked who it was, it was the person who lived in the room next to hers, "you okay? There was quite a racket coming from here just now" 

"I'm fine, it's all fine. Just dropped some stuff" she snapped at the small girl.
"You sure, sounded like more than something dropping."
"Why, do you think I'll lie to you" she closed the door on the poor girl's face. 

She stomped over to her cupboard, roughly tugging on the clothes she had lain out the night before. Before she left her room the sword caught her eye, she suddenly felt guilty for leaving it there. The dragon mentioned that she must always carry it anyway. In a rush she unclipped the sheath from the armour belt and tossed it into her hockey bag, throwing the books in as well to hide the weapon and make sure she only carried one bag. 
She locked the cupboard after her and left the room, closing the door loudly as stomped past the poor girl from earlier. She left for the school building, deciding to skip breakfast. 10 minutes until class begins
