Now I'm back into the motion. lol. I am trying to write as much as possible before I have to go leave or do something else that keeps me off the comp for a while. I hate putting disclaimers, I mean this is original and so I don't have to. I didn't take any ideas from you or at least not intentionally.


Chapter 4: The Second Side to the Story

Solaria started to drift off into a deep sleep. Her dream was very real, but she didn't know that.

"What are you doing in my dream and who are you?"

It was a woman dressed in a midnight blue dress that barely scraped the ground. She didn't wear any shoes. She didn't have any jewel or crown, but you could tell that she had a royal regal to her stance and posture. She seemed very homely and tender. Nothing like the man she had met earlier that day.

"I am Safrone. I cannot tell you my origin, just like the man earlier today couldn't tell you his. This is not a dream."

"How do you know about my meeting with him and are you on the same side as him?"

"We know all, like right now he knows that I'm talking to you. What I am saying he doesn't know just like I have know idea what he talked about earlier. No I am here to tell you about the other side. You have met his kind and have gotten subtle hints and I'm here to do the same to help you make your decision."

"How do you know that he didn't tell me what side he was on then?"

"Because that is a spoken rule and if he does then he will burn. We cannot speak our own names because they are cursed, just like us, but some more than others."

"How do I know that you are not lying to me or that he wasn't lying to me earlier?"

"You don't. You must base your decision on what you have learned, how we react, who we are, how we talk, and what we say."

"How can I know who you are if you don't tell me?"

"That is not what I meant. You must figure that out yourself. I have come to you to tell you that there is only two ways his or mine. You must choose. Time is running out and armies are growing stronger and people are growing weaker in spirit. The feuding and fighting must be stopped. We are growing weary of the constant fight that seems to never end. You must make this decision on your own. No one must influence you. This is the world that your mother gave you and you and only you must decide its fate."

"This is a very heavy weight on my shoulders. I cannot be expected to make up my mind in such a short time. Are you sure that there is only two choices?"

"I have been raised and taught of three worlds. That one person would make a vital choice between two races. That is what I was taught and all that I know."

"I see. I was always taught that there is not just two answers or one to a problem but infinite you just have to know how to work it, what to add or what to take out. Does that mean that there are more choices for me? That is what I was taught and all I know."

"You seem very mature, you know what you say and you listen well. I am sure that you will choose right for your land and protect it with all your heart no matter what side you are on."

"I do not know if I should take that as flattery or as an honest complement. My world has been reversed. I used to be able to trust all, now I cannot trust anyone, not even the people I have known all my life. I can confide in no one."

"I know that this is very hard and you are still young. We are old to you, but we look young. We are millennia's old and you must not be more than one or two decades. You are old in your time about as old as we are. We are equal and that is how it will stay. I cannot tell you the future or that everything will be all right. I do not know these things I am only one person and I do not know your choice. Your choice is your future. That is all I can tell you and that is all I wish to. I have stayed to long. Your people are looking for you again."

"I wish to meet you tomorrow night same place so I can make up my mind. If you don't mind."

"That doesn't bother me in the slightest. Take your time, but just remember the longer you take the hard the decision will become."

She woke with a start.

"That was weird."

Then she heard the animals calling for her again. She quickly went back to them and told them that she was out for a walk. The animals on watch were in trouble for falling asleep and she felt bad for getting them in trouble, but she couldn't tell them about Safrone. She went back to her bed and Toinya was there.

"You have disappeared on us twice in one day. Something is going on."

"It is my decision and mine alone."

Toinya seemed to understand what was being said and grabbed the girl as best as she could. She knew that she could do nothing for her that she was truly on her own.

"I need to be left alone. These guards must no longer watch me. I couldn't live with myself if any of them got hurt."

"I understand. They will no longer watch you like a hawk. You have a choice to make and no one can help you. I just I could make it easier for you."

"No one can do that for me."

With that she feel asleep on Toinya's flanks.


There two in one day. I will try to work on another story tomorrow if I can get on the comp.
