Blacktail Deer Plateau bar the doctors from the house

BOOM!

While Blue and Lasher hovered over her, tending to her wounds and discussing what a complete dumb ass she was, Fin was far away in her subconscious. The dreams were beginning, though subtle and relatively normal at first. In her mind, she saw a snake, a moose, and a bear. All were coming towards her, and she was running from them.

She ran and ran until coming across a wide chasm. The drop was enormous; so deep that she could see only darkness at the bottom. From out of it came the cries and howls of wolves. They were calling to her, asking her to join them. To break free, and let go.

The Blackthorn turned to hear the roars of her enemies behind her, and darted off along the edge of the chasm, frantic. Suddenly, there was another edge cutting across her path, and another, and another, until she was alone on an island with the creatures she had tormented. Fin whirled around to face the chasm, this time spotting a thin, ragged old tree limb that stretched across it to a beautiful green mountain across the way.

With hardly a thought, Fin took off across it, only to slip and fall. She caught the branch behind her elbows and clung to it, panicked. The howls were louder now, the calls even more desperately begging her to let go and fall. And suddenly, that little bitch of a fox was sitting on the limb right in front of her, smiling wickedly. Fin made to snap at him, only to miss as he leaped gracefully into the air and landed right where he'd been before with a force that broke the branch in two, and Fin was falling...

Back in reality, Fin began to shake and moan feverishly upon the ground.
