Chapter 1 It's Not Just a Dream

Briar lay on his bed in deep thought. Sandry had told him just a year before that she loved him. He thought can I protect her from harm and from my past? As he lay there he thought of the people from his old gang that could harm her in anyway possible. He loved her. He would not leave her till after the heavens themselves exploded and the world was covered in eternal darkness and they both were long dead. She deserves the best protection out there Briar thought, How do I give it to her though? He fell asleep not knowing that Sandry's, and everybody's, lives would change forever very soon.

Sandry lay there wondering about her political situation and how it would affect Briar and her. When Uncle dies I will rule. Sandry shuddered at the thought of her uncle, Duke Vedris, Dying anytime soon. She was thinking about it when Daja walked into her room. Daja said "What's wrong Sataii?" when seeing her face. Sandry was worried, "The air doesn't seem right, I feel like I lost something, but I can't figure out what it is? Do you think I lost something?" Daja was thinking.

"Is Briar alright? That might be it." Daja suggested. Sandry spread her magic into Briar's room. He was sleeping, but having a horrible nightmare. Sandry got up and ran into Briar's room. He was thrashing in his sheets. "Briar, Wake up, you're having a nightmare!" Sandry shook him. Briar woke up with tears streaming from his eyes. He looked at Sadry's concerned face and gave her a hug so tight she guessed that his dream was truly horrible. "What was it Briar?" Sandry asked softly. Briar's voice trembled "I was with everyone, talking, laughing. Then you all disappeared. I was all alone with darkness everywhere. No one in the darkness, no one to help me find you. In the darkness I was alone, no one to reel me in from my sea of grief. All that was left was the pain, so much pain." Briar buried his head into Sandry's arms and continued to cry. Sandry held him and whispered things into his ears to try and save him from the pain. At last she said "It's okay, it was just a dream, Nothing will happen to us." Although she didn't let it slip, she was terrified for everyone. She then figured out what she felt she was missing, her uncle. Briar had had a dream like this only once, and Rosethorn had died for moments shortly after. "I'll stay here till you can sleep again, ok?" she whispered to him. He nodded, still teary eyed. She stayed next to him for the next hour thinking hard.
