The returning Dream
- Ouf!
Sonea closed the door. Another day has passed. Some weeks ago she hoped it would become easier, but it doesn´t. Her pregnancy was the only reason for getting up every single day. „I have to go on", she thought. Everytime she looked at her steadily growing belly she got an overwhelming feeling of joy, but at the same time she felt the most painful prick which paralyses her. She was really tired. On the one hand Sonea was glad that the work in the hospital was a useful one which helped her not to think about the last months, on the other she was afraid to fall asleep. She didn´t know how long she could hide her real feelings from the other magicians, especially from Rothen. He looked at her in a really strange way sometimes. Sonea realized how tired she was and a strange fear pervades her whole body.
- „It can´t go on like this forever.", she said to herself, but deep inside she knew that it could.
Every night she had the same strange dream and she was afraid that she couldn´t get rid of it. She has told Rothen that she can´t sleep very well the last nights and he gave her a light soporific, she hoped that it would keep her from dreaming. Sonea sat down at her bed, looked at the glass in her hands and drank it fast, because it had such a disgusting taste. She shivered as she laid down. Only a few minutes later she got caught by her dreams...
A face appeared. His face! There it was again. Akkarin smiled at her weakly.
- „I don´t allow you to look so sad!" he said decided and looked her straight into the eyes.
She felt the craving for feeling his warm body right next to her.
- „You can´t always get what you want." she answered and recognized a whiff of anger in his aura.
- „If you would help me and do what i´m asking you for, you wouldn´t have to torture yourself anymore." He whispered. „Don´t close your mind otherwise i can´t tell you what´s your abandonment." „As a novize you never resisted me!Well maybe a few times...", he added smiling whimsically.
His face became serious again
- „But this time you have to trust me and do what I tell you to."
All the nights before Sonea didn´t followed his request but this night she was to weak to resist. She openend her mind and Akkarin told her that she had to go to the closet with the secret books in the library. Once she opened it to look for maps about the secret corridors under the buildings of the guild. He didn´t told her what she had to look for. Sonea was really dissappointed, but when she woke up this morning she was determined to look what she would find. Even if she was much more tired then the mornings before she senses excitement.
