Sequel to The God's Pugna
Note to readers: It's a good idea to read the God's Pugna first.
Disclaimer: I don't own the work of the genius Tamora Pierce.
The setting sun rays shone through the window on the two lovers who lay in bed. Joren stroked mahogany hair of his lover and kissed her tenderly. He loved her, and he held her as if there were no tomorrow. Suddenly Felix rose from the bed and began to dress to leave. Joren watched curiously, his mind feared for the worst.
"Where are you going?" He asked quietly.
She turned back and blew him a leaving kiss and left the room. His stomach dropped, he knew she wasn't coming back. Somewhere in his mind, he knew she has gone forever and left him for the Black God.
The dream left him in a sheet of sweat, cold and awake in the wilderness. He sat up and looked on his left to see his squire sleeping soundly. He wondered how a girl could be so peaceful at sleep, yet not affected by the battle. He was indeed envious, she had no dreams like he did, which haunted him every night. He laid back down in his bedroll and saw it was a clear cold night, where the crescent moon shone faintly but yet stood out in the mysterious sky.
For eight nights in a row he had the same dream, which ended as him being alone and a broken man.
It has been eight days since him and Kel left the battlefield and the ground of corpse and wounded was merely a speck of dust in the distance. It was a silent and smooth ride, where all was calm and fast moving. Fatigue and their own thoughts occupied the two travelers, so they spoke little. It was soon that they made it into Tortall, and later still into the beautiful capital Corus. A city where the most unlikely royal couple lived, a place of weird legends and the training ground for female knights.
AN: It's a little short but it's a prologue so I think I get away with it. Btw if you think of a good title please tell me cos my best mate and I are stuck with titles.
Please review!! And be a wonderful person!!
