Chapter 27: The most vivid nightmare

Talim awoke soaked in sweat.

She looked around. It was still at night. The kids of the mill were still sleeping.

She had had a terrible nightmare. However, the worst thing about it wasn't what she had dreamed, but how real it had seemed.

In her dream, two men went into a woman's house looking for information about a sword.

The woman had pending issues with one of those men. The part of the dream she remembered best was when the woman slit one of the man's throat and fled, while the other one tried to untie himself. For a moment, Talim wondered if that had really happened, but it couldn't be. She was a priestess, not a seer.

She thought it had just been a bad dream caused by the incident that had happened some days before and she fell asleep again.
