Daniel...Daniel...Daniel...where have I heard that before? I swear I heard it before..Oh my goodness...This is driving me absolutely crazy...> I thought to myself as I sat under the giant oak. I was pretty sure Daniel was not the person I was supposed to meet, so I sat down and decided to wait. I don't know how long I sat there... i think I even fell asleep once or twice. I went over everything in my mind, and started wondering if I was still here for a reason, or if Daniel was actually the oneI was supposed to meet... suddenly my back grew warm. I turned around and saw that the tree was on fire. I sit here, completely confused, because the fire is not hurting me...and suddenly I feel a warm presence beside me. I turn and see a regal woman, dressed in a crimson dress, with blond hair piled high on top of her head. She gave me a small smile and gestured with her arm at the village. I give her a confused look, but move my gaze in that direction. What I see shocks me- people milling around in confusion, burning, children being abandoned, crying, everything is ablaze, and as tears well up in my eyes, I wonder if this is the horror I was supposed to save them from, the horror i had failed to save them from. It is neither.> Said the voice in my head. It's a strange sensation this time...warm...comforting...like a part of my head is in a foggy warm haze. What you see before you is my present. This is an event I forsaw. The people you see on the inside of the village are the ones you doubted me. The people on the outside, most of which I saved, are the ones who believed.> She finished, pointing to a place not far away from us. I noticed that here there was a much larger crowd. All watching quietly as the village burned. Suddenly rain started pouring from the sky, and the scene before me changed - people in the fields, praising god for the rain, children dancing, people celebrating. Several more flashed by, each full of happiness, or sadness, or pain... Do not doubt me, for I am the one who speaks mind to mind. I am no longer a part of this world. I am a part of another. After I am done speaking with you, you must leave this place. Do not come back until you feel the same or a similar feeling in your mind calling you back. Do you understand? > I nodded mutely, wondering if this was the great prophetess the king had told me about. If it was her pendant I wore. I heard a hidden yes in my mind before the feeling disappeared. I look around but it was completely dark. Pitch black. I couldn't see a thing. Suddenly I realized my eyes were closed. I laughed quietly to myself and then got up. I am caught between two options. Listen to the woman, or face whatever was terrorizing me. Somehow, I think it would be better to face my fears another time...preferably when I haven't just been warned against them. When I had walked most of the way down the village road, I noticed something odd. There were no villagers, No one for that matter... it looked like everyone had just gotten up and left. I figure it's better safe then sorry, and make my way to the back of the castle and through my hole in the wall. Wandering back to my bedroom I lay down completely exhausted, as if I've been gone for days instead of hours. I close my eyes and immediately fall into a deep sleep.
A woman lays old and frail in a bed. Only one man, wearing a crown in beside her, holding her hand. Suddenly words flow out of her mouth, her last prophesy. He lifeless eyes are no longer visible beneath dead eyelids. The man beside her weeps. A scribe, hidden in a corner of the room writes down what the woman said and hands it to the man.
The man is in a library, storing the parchment safely in a place he hopes no one will ever find it, behind one of the stones in the wall.
The woman stands in a field full of daisies, underneath an oak tree, a melody coming from herlips. Suddenly she appears to split in two, the copy completely identical in every way, except the dark, pitch black hair, and the cold lifeless eyes. The copy disappears. The woman stands alone. Allamarisse. A whisper from the oak.
The oak Is the only thing to be seen. A child lays at the base of it. A blond haired, blue eyed child. It cries softly before being absorbed into the tree.
I dark haired woman stands and laughs from deep under the earth, tangled in the roots of an immense tree. She holds a baby boy in her pale arms.
A violet haired child peeks curiously around billowy skirts, wondering what will come next.
The violet haired girl shoots arrows, fences, learns the things a man usually does.
The oak tree is approached by a dozen men, who mean to cut it down. Roots come up from the ground andkeep the hunters at bay.
White lights play on the surface of a crystalline pool. In the middle sit a blond woman and boy, him playing a soft melody on his instrment.
A prophetess makes a prophesy about a new born child, that he will die valiantly. Bravely, for the good of mankind.
A never ending field of daisies. Nothing any where. Only a forest at its edges.
A whispering. Allamar.
I open my eyes and wonder about the strange dream I've just had. A mixture of past present and future my dear, pay attention, for they will be of great use to you.> a warm voice inside my head. This one somehow doesn't bother me so much. I turn around when I hear a knock at my door.
"Yes, I KNOW they've already checked here, I just want to know for myself..." a masculin voice sounded from behind the door. I quickly look down to make sure I'm weraing clothes this time.
" Alright, but don't be surprised if you don't find anything." another slightly higher pitched, but still obviously a males.
The knock sounds again. Isit on the bed and sigh - come in.The same guy I talked to before opens the door cautiously, and I look at him strangely.
" I thought peasants weren't allowed to wander the kings castle." ,I said a bit confused.
"Well, our king is a little bit paranoid of late, so he made the whole village come looking for you when you didn't show up for 2 days.", he replied, looking happy to have found me.
" Two days!", I gasped. How could I have possibly been away for two days?
He looked at me as though I was insane.
"Yes, two days, when the sun comes up once, and then goes down, and then comes up again, and then goes down again. Am I getting through to you your highness?" He commented with an arrogant smirk on his face.
I shrugged, not particularly caring, still trying to work out how I had managed to be gone for two days. The youth led me down the stairs into the throne room where King Andrew was pacing back and forth, beside himself with worry.
"WHERE IN HEAVEN'S NAME HAVE YOU BEEN?", he hollered at me. I've been up in my room, milord. I answered honestly. He scoffed and sat down. He obviously thought I was being difficult. He yelled again, only this time louder. I gave him the same answer. His face contorted in a mask of fury.
"Send her up into her room and lock her in, I refuse to tolerate this kind of behaviour. She has no right to lie to her king." , he said still obviously very angry.
Well, this was just great, I thought as they led me up the stairs. I was going to be a queen/prisoner in this twisted little world.
