Chapter 2 Dream or Reality

When I woke up the next morning, I was in a place that I didn't recognize. I knew that I was still in Kirsla, but where in Kirsla I wasn't sure. I was in a truly extravagant room. As I looked around the room I noticed that all of my things were here, my backpack, my sword, my clothes, along with everything else that I had. As I went to sit up and all of the sudden the events of last night came back in one huge jab of pain.

"Ah! God that hurt!" I yelled, noticing that someone had bandaged them all up. I started to hear footsteps coming toward the room. I was getting a little nervous, when the door opened a young girl in a maid uniform came walking in with a tray of medicines. She had red, shoulder-length hair with dark pink tips, and her eyes were green. She had a very kind appearance.

"I just knew you'd wake up and hurt yourself." She said with a smile

"Yeah, I guess you were right miss...um..."

"Call me Saku." She said, walking over to me with the medicine.

"Saku...um...would you mind telling me where I am?" I asked

"Oh, yes, I'm sorry you're currently in the castle of Kirsla, under the care of Lord Woltar. The Young Master brought you here late last night. You're quite lucky, if he hadn't brought you here you would be in a very severe state, maybe even dead. What happened to you? you were pretty beat up." she asked, as she handed me the medicine. I took them one at a time.

"You probably wouldn't believe me if I told you...now who's the Young Master?"

"Ah...he asked for me not to say, he wanted to introduce himself in person."

"Oh, alright then. Thank you very much for helping me out with the pain of these wounds."

"It's not a problem, it is my job. Now you should get some more rest. If you wake before I return, feel free to walk about the castle, if you wish."

"OK, I will then, Thank you very much."

"Your welcome." Then she stood up and walked out the door. The medicine was already starting to take effect. I laid back down and soon after fell asleep again.

There was nothing but darkness all around me, I was all alone and scared. Different forms of Dragons were coming at me from all directions. I was having trouble killing them off. But as soon as the last dragons were gone I heard the sound of footsteps. I couldn't tell if they were from a dragon or a human or what direction they were coming from. Then a dark figure appeared before me they held out there hand. I hesitated but slowly lowered my sword and grasped the hand held out to me. They led me through the darkness. Fighting off the enemies that came after us. Suddenly after a lot of twists and turns it became lighter and I saw the exit soon after, I ran to it, completely forgetting about the person that led me out. I then realized where I had been. I was in the closed off caverns within Kirsla. There was still blood on the ground from the ordeal from the other night. Then I remembered my rescuer, I wanted to thank them. But before I got the chance to turn around there was a sword piercing into my back right through my stomach. I looked down at it, stunned, I just I couldn't believe it. The sword was pulled out and I fell to the ground, unable to move. I was just barely alive. I was turned to face the one that had stabbed me. It was Albel. I just looked at him, struggling to stay conscious. Then he bent down looked into my eyes. He had whispered something to me but it was too quiet to hear. Then before I knew what was happening...he was kissing me. There was nothing I could do about it, I couldn't even move. My mind was racing, I didn't understand any of it, why would he stab me then kiss me? Why would he even kiss me at all? None of it made any sense at all.

I woke up damp with sweat. I wasn't sure if it was a side-effect of the medicine or that nightmare I just had. I looked outside the window. It looked like if was just after noon. I got up slowly, the medicine had been able to suppress most of the pain. I put on the dress that was set out for me and went into the bathroom to survey the damage Albel had done to my wrist, and it wasn't too good. Neither was my neck or my stomach.

"Damn that Albel Nox. I can't wait to see him again, I'll kill him." I took a moment and thought about what I just said. Remembering both last night, and my dream of him stabbing me through and through. "I'll wait until I become a little stronger, then I'll kill him." I decided to myself. Then I heard a knock on the door. I walked out into the bedroom again. "Come in." It was the young girl Saku again, this time with food.

"Ah, so you're up and walking, that's good. That means the damage isn't as bad as we all thought." she said. I nodded. "Here this is for you, compliments of Lord Woltar and his chefs." She said as she handed me the food.

"It looks delicious, I'll have to thank them." Not only did the food look good, it tasted great. Very well prepared. I hadn't had food that good in a long time. Ages it seemed.

"By the way, when can I meet the one who rescued me and Lord Woltar? They have been so nice to me. I really want to thank them for everything that they have done."

"You can meet them any time you wish, they are both here now, so when you want to see them just head down the stairs and turn left. You should reach the audience chamber. They are anxious to speak with you as well. Which reminds me they did have one request, they wish to know your name before you meet them."

"My name is Akina."

"Thank you, I will go let them know that you will be seeing them soon. How long would you say?"

"Probably in about 30 minutes."

"Okay, I will let them know, I'll be back later this evening to check your wounds." She said as she left the room. I suddenly felt very uneasy, like something bad would happen to me again right at that moment. I guess it could have been my nerves acting up, but I couldn't help but feel like something was going to go wrong. I finished eating, got ready, then went down the stairs and found the audience chamber. It wasn't really big, nothing like the chamber in Aqios. There was an elderly man sitting in the large throne but no one else was there, at least no one that I could see.

"Welcome, you are Akina, correct?" Woltar asked

"Yes sir, I am."

"I am Woltar, lord of the city of Kirsla."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, sir."

"Please, just call me Woltar." Just then a man came walking into the room. "Ah...here he is, Akina I'd like you to meet the one that brought you here and saved you." I turned to see who it was. My heart dropped to the floor. The "Young Master" that saved my life was also the one that could have destroyed it. My savior was...Albel Nox.

Wow, I'm getting this written a lot faster than I thought I would! Though I don't think this chapter is very good. It'll get better, I promise! Again please review! Thanks goes out to Miss Nox for telling me what she thought!
