Les, frightened, pulled herself back
behind the tree abruptly. The Robed man started laughing a terrible
laugh and Les heard clearly what he said next. "I have you now
precious! You shall not defeat me!" As he cackeled out in
seeming victory, A bright light flashed all around her. When it was
gone, all noise had ceased and when she looked again, the man had
vanished. Full of fear, dread, and wonder at what she had seen, Les
wanted to run away from this place and forget what had happened. But
when she stood, her legs failed her, turned to jelly in her terrror
and she fell. She lay there on the ground shaking, all of her limbs
numb. Her mind blank. Tears streamed down teh sides of her face even
though she was not crying as she staried up at the treetops. After
some time, she heard a small whisper.
