Reclaimer (Prelude) from little owl by story•esque

Desert dust fills my lungs. The walls and doors I've hidden behind are now all gone. Sandy dune for a bed. A dreamer's dream dreamt in the night wide awake.

Then a flurry of feathers appears above. A streak in the night on a path undone.

(little owl)
"There's something that you need to see."

Do I dare to follow or dare to run? Analysis paralysis. The ruin of one.

(Desert Boy)
"There's something that I need to be."

A fire in the fireplace but no home.

(little owl)
"So let's reclaim peace in this head once again. The warmth in the night that left your stead. The rest that you crave at day's end. Let's dream of the farther places ahead. A place where The Stars themselves have tread. 'Cos a dream is all you got when every day finds its end."

(Desert Boy & little owl)
"Let's reclaim! Let's reclaim! Let's reclaim! Let's reclaim!"
