Chapter 1 Rome, 18 May 2004 It isn’t the first dream I’ve had where Spike had a starring role. And no, it’s not that sort of dream. I’ve dreamt of him pretty regularly these past months – since he burned up in Sunnydale – but lately, they’ve been different.

Mainly it’s something faceless, formless, but you just know it’s evil. Compared to those dreams, tonight’s is almost whimsical. Tonight, he’s fighting a dragon. A dragon with a bell. And, no, it’s not the sort of bell that could be placed around its neck – always assuming that anyone would want to do such a thing.
