She was hidden away in a book by two others, for protection. She came out every year. I think she was Autumn. It was an epic tale, I wish I remembered more. I know there was another, a trickster, a shapeshifter, hard to catch, but we pursued him. He was a creature of fire.

Shit, I left the heating on!

I got up, turned it off, and went back to bed. But the dream was lost.
