Sweet Dreams

"Good day lady." The priestess called and bowed to Belaki and her guest.

"Good day maiden, any news." Belaki whispered passed.

"None milady, only rumors I fear to put truth behind." She uttered these words carefully looking to the guest.

He looked as if he had seen a ghost and it had gotten the better of him.

"Never mind him. He can be considered trust worthy if that is what worries you."

"I have heard you're to be leaving us." The maiden replied shortly, still staring at Trunks, who was paying her no mind at all.

"This is a rumor?" Belaki turned to her maiden, "I hope for your sake it isn't."

"No milady. It is a fear of mine and the loose lips of the king when he has endured more public embarrassment from you." The maiden pulled her words carefully; Belaki had never been this short with her before and even if she wouldn't be hurt, angering the Belaki was still a bad idea. "I'm the only one that knows."

"Then you are resourceful, yet still correct." Belaki slid her hand across the door opening the lock on the inside and letting herself in.

"It's not Bulanvo is it?" The maiden spoke with deep emotion.

"He is making demands and I am requested to attend him."

"But milady could you not send me instead." The maiden answered with full desire to be sent in Belaki's stead.

"Sadly the demand is for a Ki of a different color maiden or I would honor your request and guard you with spells that will not protect me." Belaki entered her room, followed by her maiden as well as Trunks.

"You could change my color. I know of you powers. I've watched you and studied you for years. Before you yourself started learning…."

"Regardless…" Belaki stopped at her mat. "Trunks…" She called startling him from his almost zombie like state of mind. "Don't think that." Belaki rushed over to him. "We won't loss that easy."

"I can't let you go." Trunks spoke softly his eyes glossed with tears he refused to shed.

Belaki laid him to rest on her mat placing the covers over his cold body. The dreams he was to have tonight would always haunt him if she didn't come back.

"Now I have to request a rumor report from you." Belaki turned to her maiden. "I hear a rumor tell that Bulanvo has gained strength and has turned to a new witch craft to break my enchantment."

Endarine's heart fled at his name. She hadn't heard of him in days now she was asked about a new technique of his. "What type do you suspect milady."

"An apprentice..." Belaki stalled. Bulanvo was her polar opposite but they thought alike if she had magic she couldn't touch the only way to get pass it would be a new disguise or a new pawn.

"Why would you think this? The entire Ki world fears him." Maiden rang in her mind.

"He has found a way into the city," Belaki revealed.

Endarine nearly choked, but Belaki only took her spike in energy as fear. "Are you sure?"

"I saw him tonight," Belaki spoke in a monotone lull; she had been thinking as her maiden had for a while. Hoping it was a bluff, hoping it was another sad attempt, but his silver eyes came at her again in her mind and her whole body shivered.

"Where was he?" Trunks came up behind her, placing his arm over her shoulder.

"I released him of fear and he let his guise go. Revealing to the crowd exactly who he was." Belaki dropped her head. "Yet know one realizes it was the man's own desire that lead him to try to kill me." Endarine shivered and paced the back wall. She had been with him tonight, inside the gates. He was here.

"I can't let you go to him." Trunks pulled her into him. Endarine looked up to Trunks, Belaki in his arms; falling asleep, trusting him in her most vulnerable position. This was something more.

"Rest easy," Trunks lay her down in his stead. He knew it was unlike her to sleep with anyone awake around her, but it had been a long day and he would make sure she got her rest. He kissed her forehead and began pacing himself.

There had to be a way to save her. If he let her go now this Bulanvo would certainly kill her.

"I know how you can save her." The maiden whispered in his ear, spinning him around in his pacing.

"Why didn't you tell her there was another way?" Trunks ran to her side.

"Don't wake her. She'll never let you save her." The maiden whispered again into his ear.

"Why would she destroy herself if I can save her?"

"Because she loves you," She whispered again hoping she was right. Trunks looked to her slumbering body and let out a sign. She was right, "you could go in her stead, but she would feel forever guilty if anything were to go wrong. She's thinking irrationally in her love."

Trunks started pacing again.

"You're strong than she realizes. You can handle him. He wouldn't be expecting you. He wants the girl." Endarine continued until Trunks believed everything she was saying.

"I'll save you Heshema. I wouldn't stand by and watch when I can fix this. I love you." Trunks kissed Heshema's sleeping lips. "Where do I go?"

"With me," Endarine smiled, but Trunks was unwilling to see the look.
