Two Kingdoms

My brows tugged together to the soft shushing sound filling my ears; a muffled dragging sound and the occasional crunching of snow underfoot roused me from the depths of my sleep. Slowly, I blinked, disorientated as I stared at white and grey skies with trees mostly blocking the view of soft snowfall.

While my surroundings appeared to be the forests blanketed in snow, I was wrapped up in layers of furs. Warmth radiated from different areas along my body. I couldn't make sense of what was happening and let my body drag me back into unconsciousness. My dreams became a little restless from there.

Were they dreams? It was a little surreal and confusing. Anytime I slipped from the darkness into a dream, the skies from before gradually turned to a light blue, and the skeletal branches reaching for me began growing upwards, becoming lush with greenery. There was no longer snow, and I began to get feverish.
