Visions
She didn't even need to turn around and see who was standing behind her. She was certain she knew who it was. The sudden golden light thrown on everything around her gave it away.
A much tanned hand gripped her shoulder, causing her to start. She was quickly but gently hauled to her feet and spun around to face him.
His golden hair was a sight but it was his blue eyes that captivated her. Like the ocean, they seemed to have no depth, but the images she saw as she looked into his eyes frightened her.
He slowly reached his hand toward her and placed it on the side of her head, gently but firmly. He saw her eyes flicker around, hoping no-one saw what he was doing. To be caught like this, with a man touching and no chaperone near to keep an eye on things, would be highly dangerous for her reputation. No-one would want to marry her. Everyone would think her a whore, going around and letting other men touch her, in Apollo's temple least of all.
Just watching her eyes flicker made him smile. To him, she was the most beautiful female to grace the earth, save the goddesses who lived above. Even watching her pray brought happiness to his life.
Yet his hand remained resting on her cheek, aware of her sudden discomfort. But he didn't remove it. She had to see something first. Her face twisted in agony and surprise as yet more images poured into her head. They were similar to what she had seen in her dreams……………
People screaming, mainly women………men being killed, their blood together becoming red rivers, streaming through the doomed city………baby boys being thrown from the walls………male toddlers and boys alike killed where they stood, even after begging for their mama's and for mercy………women herded out to the waiting ships, to become slaves and concubines for the greedy and lust-filled soldiers………and that man, she somehow felt connected to him – even only distantly – but still connected somehow – she watched grimly as he was killed in the temple, praying to the gods that this bloodshed would stop, it was after all only one city, yet he still prayed for help, someone, anyone, even the gods themselves – " HELP! " his last word came out strangled as the sword was pushed into his chest……… the man that killed him pulled his sword free and turned slightly so she could see him – his evil smile dripping with malice and brutality just as his sword dripped with the dead king's blood……… the smell of death, pungent and evil, was everywhere, but particularly strong here.
"Well my dear, - " he finally spoke but was cut off quickly
"Well what? " she snapped, trying to sound brave but failing, as fear was clearly evident in her voice. She was still shaken up over what she had just seen.
"No need to get all angry at me! " he demanded of her
She just glared at him.
"The choice is yours, my offer still stands " he said as he disappered in a blinding flash of golden light interlaced with silver, yet the words he whispered before vanishing still resounded clearly in her head.
"Either way, you will be mine"
She just continued to stare at the spot previously vacated by him, her hand went to her cheek
"But it's not fair……you cant make me choose " she whispered
