Chapter 2
"Come here, servant."
"Yes, Lord, what do you desire of me?"
"Go to the shrine and retrieve the crystal. It is time to awaken the dragons."
"I will go lord."
He bid the servant leave and stepped over to his bed. Reaching down, he opened up a trapdoor in the floor, which revealed a flight of stairs going down into infinite darkness. Kantar smiled to himself and thought, and now it is time for me to return to this world the beasts that were forgotten long ago.
Daisa walked into the main hall of the college with a wide grin, which came close to stretching her face, a smile that widened as she saw a familiar head at a table across the room. Eager to speak with her love, she smoothly and confidently walked to where Jolin was sitting. She sat down next to him and stared into his eyes, tapping her nails onto the table to make sure that he knows she is present. After a time, Jolin brought his head up from the book he was reading and looked into her eyes and asked, "Daisa, what might be the meaning of this?"
"What do you mean, my love," Daisa inquired.
"Why are you sitting there staring at me," he replied, "and why did you just call me your love?"
"Don't you remember last night, when you were in the sick bed?"
"I have no idea what you are talking about," he replied.
"But don't you remember when we kissed?" Daisa asked, uncertainly.
"Daisa, are you feeling alright? You seem to be making things in your head."
"I am most certainly not making this up, Jolin," she said, with an edge of anger to her voice. "Last night I was with you in the sickbed, because you were ill, and you sat up and said I was beautiful."
Jolin gave her a confused look and went back to his book as if nothing had happened.
She sighed. "Well, I know how you really feel inside," Daisa said confidently. She stood and, as she was about to leave, she kissed him lightly on the cheek. He looked at her with extreme surprise as she walked to the dorm wing of the college.
As he watched her walk away, Jolin realized that he knew that kiss, though his memory of it was unclear. As he pondered this, another thought came to his mind, this one regarding how he had taken ill the day before. The last thing he could remember was a sharp pain in his head, then a loss of consciousness. After that, he just remembered waking up in the sick bed that his friends had taken him to. He was in a dreamless sleep the entire time. It was possible, he pondered, Could Daisa's story could be the truth, though I was not conscious at the time? It confused him greatly, and he decided that a visit with the lord of the college was in order.
