Nightmares. Magnus was having nightmares, strange dreams that plagued him and left him tossing and turning and in a restless sleep. He jolted himself awake in a cold sweat and looked wildly around his bedroom. He'd been dreaming...what? As wakefulness fell upon him his dreams dimmed until all he knew was some intangible fear. The question now was what had woken him? He thought, perhaps, he'd heard a noise. It could have been the house settling or his own groans, but he could have sworn it was something more. He did not feel alone in the darkness of his room and he fumbled on the bedside table for the light to banish the shadows.
