That night....I made camp in the Everfrost Peaks and had the strangest dream.....
In the dream, I was in a wondrous forest!! The kind I'd never seen before!! With all sorts of mythical creatures running free! Unicorns....bears.....wolves.....

All of the animals seemed to like me too, looking at me happily. It makes sense of course, as an elf and ranger, I've always been pretty good with animals -flex-

As I explored more, I even found the trees were happy to see me!!! Seemingly wanting hugs!!!

Eventually I came upon a great tree!!! The kind I'd never seen before!! It towered above the forest.....and around it's side, was a great spiral that had grown. I had to see what was inside!

I quickly made my way to the top, curious to see what was inside.... passing by princes and more treants (they are really huggy creatures!).
At the top, I found a single doorway. As I went inside, I was stopped by two great panthers....

"She's waiting to see you...." they growled at me.

Then, as I looked across the room...I saw her.....it was Tunare!!!!!

Was this really a dream?!
"Oh Tunare! It's nice to meet you!"

"Little elf Rosen....you must stop Innoruuk before he can sew chaos across Norrath. You can't continue to distract yourself with the toes of ice giants...."
I'd been caught!! Tunare sees everything! "Oh....but....I owe ..."
"You do not understand little elf."
Suddenly I found myself in the Faydark surrounded by the bodies of all of the races of Norrath!

"This is the future should Innoruuk succeed!"
"Nooooo!! Their rez timers are all up!!!!!!" I screamed.
Suddenly I was back before Tunare again....

"Rosen! You must become stronger! Go to the city of the frost giants.....challenge the great statue of Rallos Zek.....only with the avatars bow will you truly be able to battle the gods on even footing! But be warned, for you to be awarded the bow....you must reach the statue first....it will be the greatest test of your speed....".
I knew what I had to do (mostly because Tunare told me). It seemed a dragons bow was great enough to match dragons....but a gods bow would be needed to fight a god like Innoruuk! It made sense.
I swore to her I would find it! No matter how many years it took!
