Chapter 2
That morning, after they had woken up, and eaten their breakfast, they started out on their journey to Jadellin's palace. After about an hour of riding on camel back, Yami started to get hot, so he took of his peasants cloak and his shirt and started to walk so he could stretch out his legs. At one point in time they came across a small town in the middle of the desert. Yami thought that it was a mirage. Even from close up, it looked like something from a fairy tale. All of the people starred at them as they rode down the dirt rode on their camel. They starred as though they had never seen other people before. As they approached the palace, everything started to disintegrate. Everything, even the people melted away into a liquid puddle of slime. As they starred in amazement, the camel with Jadellin's goods jutted off away from the crumbling city. Right as the road underneath them started to vanish, Yami jumped onto the camel, grabbed Jadellin's arm pulling her up onto it, (the one that was still there), and rode off after the other camel into the desert.
That night, after they had set up camp yet again, Jadellin could not sleep. Just thinking about what might have happened to her if Yami hadn't of saved her life. She laid with her head under Yami's chin, cuddled up next him with her arm across his bare chest, starring off into space, while Yami lay rubbing her right shoulder with the tips of his fingers.
Jadellin looked up at him with loving eyes and kissed his warm lips and laid her head back down under his chin. He looked stunned. She looked up at him asked him what was wrong with a confused look on her face. He told her that ever sense the first time he had seen her, he wanted to hold her and love her. That's when he told her about the dream. She seemed surprised. She told him that she had the exact same dream also just the night before.
The next day, Jadellin told Yami that they would reach her palace a little later than she had expected because they had spent so much time in the "fake town". She said that they would maybe be able to make it in before the sun set. After walking and leading the camel with Yami for a while, Jadellin got up on the camel's back and fell asleep. She slept for at least 3 hours. Once every so often, Yami would stop the camel to see if she was going to fall.
After a few hours of walking in front of the camel, Yami got up onto the camel behind Jadellin and after a few moments she began to awake. She looked up from where she was sitting and when she didn't see Yami leading the camel, she turned around to find him smiling at her. He said good morning and kissed her on her warm lips. She smiled at him and asked him how long she had been sleeping. He told her that she had been out for about three hours.
Later that evening, as the sun began to shine its last rays they finally reached Jadellin's palace. All of her servants rushed to greet her as soon as word got out that she had returned home safely. Everyone wanted to know who Yami was, and after having a great banquet for everyone in the palace Jadellin gave everyone a day off.
Later that evening, after everyone was introduced to Yami, Jadellin showed him were their room was. She apologized for the absents of rooms and told him that they must share hers. Jadellin's room was huge. In it was a large king sized canopy bed with the finest red silk comforters. The bed curtains were as well silk; only, they were a black color. She also had a chase sofa, a large vanity, a sold oak wardrobe closet, glass doors that lead to a marble balcony and over near the bed was another set of glass doors that had white curtains that lead to a magnificent bathroom. The floor was made of marble tile; it had a large basin and, a huge bathtub that needed three stairs to get into and on either side of the stairs was a large cat statue.
