In the dream, it was dark. Nighttime. She was standing outside an old brick building and heard the creak of a sign swaying over the doorway; the word orphanage was peeling off the sign in long strips of worn paint. Three cloaked figures emerged, two of which cradled small, securely wrapped bundles in their arms. “At least we found them first,” whispered a man’s voice. He peered lovingly into the eyes of the infant he held tightly. His second companion, a woman, nodded in agreement, adding, “To show such power at their young age. It’s unheard of. They’re lucky they didn’t hurt anyone. Or worse.” Something crashed nearby and the trio’s heads shot up, their eyes darting nervously into the darkness as if expecting something terrible might suddenly materialize out of the shadows. “We should not delay,” breathed the third cloaked figure tensely. “If it’s true what they say, we do not want to be around if he decides to show up.” The cloaked figures peered down at the two bundles and then back up at each other, their eyes screaming fear and horror they could not vocalize, and then they hastened the two infants away into the darkness.
