Eos was dreaming. The same dream over and over again and it was becoming more frequent. It was dark wherever she was, shadows seemed to be swirling around her all she could hear was the sighing of the sad wind. The night smelled of honey and spice, it was almost time … She turned as the figure materialized and approached her as always, his silvery-white translucent hair trailing like a fine mist. Everything about him was pale and gleaming like the moon or stars. Everything except his eyes which were a golden so dark they were almost brown. He stopped. "Eos…" his dark lips never moved. "Reditus…arbitrium misrere de yu." "Who are you?" she forced her tongue to say. The specter looked taken aback, "You do not know?" ah so it spoke English to! "Should I?" she rejoined. The spirit appeared like it was about to answer but it suddenly froze "I must go." It said and vanished. Eos woke up. Once again she was lying on her bed with a half finished drawing of the dream in her hand. She stretched languidly then sat up with a start tomorrow was her thirteenth birthday! She had to help with the preparations! Dropping the picture she fairly flew out the door.
That evening she could not sleep from excitement, she tossed and turned not seeming to be able to find comfort in her soft bed. Suddenly a soft light washed over her, she sat up and whispered "Is that you?" the silver man materialized and walked without a sound to her side "Am I dreaming?" she said. Slowly he shook his head, "No." he whispered. "Who are you and what are you then?" she lowered her voice to match his "Let me explain then." He sat on the edge of her bed, she couldn't help but realize how absolutely beautiful he was and she blushed. "I am Seth, a fairy knight. I have been sent because long ago you lived in the fairy kingdom and were banished for disobeying the king and sentenced to be reborn human. Now you have been pardoned and invited back to the court." "But I don't want to leave my family!" she blurted, then suddenly "and there's so such thing as fa-." She was broken off by Seth's dark lips on hers "Don't say that." He breathed pulling back, "You were my betrothed little one." Eos sat there frozen breathing heavily. Seth sighed and stood to leave but Eos caught his hand, "I will marry you- When I turn eighteen- and come with you to this fairy kingdom as long as I will be able to visit my family." He smiled "Of course." "Then…"she hesitated "Will you come every night until then?" "Oh yes little one, we have a lot to catch up on.' He grabbed her for another kiss, kisses were nice she thought idly her eyes closed and heart soaring. When she opened her eyes he was gone.
