54. Nightmare
Princess Serena was lying in the glass coffin and surrounded by flowers of all kinds. She looked peaceful, as if she were merely in a deep sleep. The seven dwarves stood around the coffin, watching over the sweet princess sorrowfully. They all glanced up when they heard hoof beats approaching.
The dwarves took up defensive positions as a prince arrived in the clearing on his noble white steed. He was tall and blond and everything that a prince should be. Prince Andrew descended from his horse and, though the dwarves were still wary, they allowed him to approach the princess. Prince Andrew leaned over her and softly placed a kiss on her lips.
Princess Serena’s eyes fluttered open slowly and she tried to identify the face above her, the man who had woken her from death. She sat up with a shriek as she realised who it was. “Darien!”

Luna glanced up as Serena suddenly sat up in bed screaming. Luna opened her mouth to question and calm her charge but Serena glanced at her and muttered, “Just a bad dream.”
“About what?” Luna asked, but Serena was already asleep again.
