Sorry for the delay. Enjoy.
Dream of secrets
I didn't have to wait long for a black cat to come crawling through my window. It transformed to Kina as she rose to her feet. "What happened?" She asked in worry. There was also a hint of guilt there. That is how it had been since the incident with Viesh. She has been delayed by some of the Eyeless assassins for the whole time it was taking place. And although it was not her fault, she didn't forgive herself.
Stupid woman.
"Protect me while I sleep," I ordered then finally allowed my consciousness to slip.
I opened my eyes lazily. I was tired and groggy but was right alert the next moment. I was standing on a rocky plain with a dark sky fixed with a yellow sun and purple horizon. "Where am I?" I wondered looking about in amazement. There was no sign of any life as far as my eyes could see. What the hell, is this a dream?
Hmm.... I decided to explore the dream. The mountains in the distance, let's begin with that. I took a step forward to start walking there but the world rushed around me the next moment and I found myself instantly on the mountain top I was headed over looking the dark plains for miles.
I thought of something suddenly and aimed at an opposite mountain in my mind. 'I want to go there,' I thought. The world shifted again and again I found myself instantly transported exactly where I wanted. So that's how it's. I could teleport in this dream, how interesting.
I wonder if there are people and places in real life here. Let's find out. I should find Kina, there's high chance I could turn this 'nightmare' into a wet dream. He he he he. I might be able to transform into an adult in this dream too. I tried it and it worked, though it made me a little dizzy. I flexed my arms, craned my head this way and that, then disappeared with a thought.
It was night here.
The Call halls tower appeared before me. I grinned, happy that this dream was this easy to understand. Since I could teleport I wonder if I could fly. Should I think happy thoughts? I shrugged, why not. Let's see, what's a happy thought. Sarah? ah, it'll just darken my mood; then Resfiya? Nah I am suddenly home sick; so Celestine it's, I snickered. That little princess has some kind of power over me doesn't she? I have some kind of power over everyone so fair enough. I started hovering in an instance and took only a moment to orient myself to this reality before I flew over the towers and buildings of the academy.
People were scattered below, around the academy, but I disregarded them as dream side characters. If I find Kina what should I do? I should probably just go straight to the action. This was like the dreams I usually had in my former life were I know I'm dreaming and suddenly is able to do anything I want. I would rape my neighbor's wife and her daughters then I will go about killing people like it's GTA. Good ol' days I tell ya.
I flew towards the Doom Hide house since I didn't particularly know where to find her. Few of the windows in the tower had lights on, Kara's was one of them but I stirred clear of it. My room was dark though. I hovered before it then peered inside. What I saw made my blood cold. Kina was sitting on the bed giving someone that looks exactly like me a lap pillow. My eyes widened. The person, my body, felt familiar. There was this longing in me to go in there and bound with it. I started inching towards the window without thinking then I screamed in horror realizing what I was doing, turned around and fled.
I didn't know where I was going but I flew very fast, quickly out of the academy, and even the city. I fled towards safety. At some point I stopped and alighted atop a mountain of smooth stone. 'The High Mountains'. All around were similar giant smooth rocks the size of mountains. I had made it back behind the passes.
Fen castle city lay in the distance like the drawing of a medieval city; gray and yellow with lamp lights and quiet. I glanced nervously behind me as I struggled to stop shaking then flew towards home.
Much like the academy, people were about in the city. I studied them from above cautiously. None if them looked like me or Kina. I sighed in relieve then continued towards the Coldfire castle.
The tower of the throne room stood white against the moonlight like a ghost house or something. The guards outside it livened it up though. With their lamp lights and presence and strong spoken words. I stirred clear of them and flew through the tower wall. Somehow I could do that. This dream is really convenient. I was starting to feel like this was no ordinary dream. Let I not forget the reason I'm here in the first place was because I was drugged. So maybe it wasn't simple.
How did she do it anyway? I hadn't detected any malice or lies from her emotions. That means there's a way around my powers. That actually upset me. But not all was dark and gloomy though; I had a possible theory of how she did it. Which was simple. She hadn't done it. Judging from what happened to Scars in the novel, who was Rea's best friend. The 'original Scars' could posses her body whenever she wants.
At first the heroes thought Scars just had a double personality but after she tried to kill Rea multiple times Mercy Vist finally got a read on her in possessed mode and told the gang. From there it was a struggle to stop the original one. That hadn't ended well for them had it?
Anyway so Kara was possessed to drug or maybe even kill me in the process, that makes sense. Then what about Nuni, was she possessed all the time she approached me? As in the novel she's described that she never starts a conversation with a stranger, except when she wants their soul, and that's only when she's possessed.
I walked through the bedroom I found myself in and out through the door to the hallway. It took me only a moment to find my axis then I was floating through the walls and halls like I have been doing it all my life. I went past people too but no one saw me. Did I die and became a ghost? Maybe I should have bounded with that body.
Celestine and mother would cry wouldn't they? Kina would blame herself and boss lady Viktora would click her tongue in disappointment. She'd say 'ah, but I had plans for the runt,'. Well I hope this is just a dream.
My wondering led me to the throne room and through the door behind the throne then floating downstairs. I have never been allowed to trend this place and was curious. What I found was a spacious room supported by fancy pillars, a door opposite led beyond it. I took the door walking into a round passage cut from rough stone walls. A tunnel? So this was downstairs, I thought. But still it might not be true; most likely the dream was just creating a dud for me to explore since I didn't really know how it looks like in real life.
I shot through the tunnel in a blur. Phasing through walls without a thought. The place was a maze. I know I am suppose to find my way through it with hardship but I didn't get the 'memo' I just phased through every obstacle like an op Chinese MC.
"..... do tell sister," I heard a voice and barely stopped and flew up before the causers rounded the corner of the tunnel. It was Viktora and mother. Viktora went on. "You have promised me triumph for six years now and yet another winter is passing. Still I see nothing but words still,"
"I am trying..."
They walked past below me. "I don't think you are doing enough,"
"You have to admit too sister that I make a difference,"
"The only difference you make to an empty corridor is your company. I have not come closer to finding the Eye than before you appeared. We covered more ground yes, but no blueprint for success. We made a deal!" Viktora screamed the last phrase.
Resfiya fell silent.
"I don't know which game you play little sister," Viktora sighed. "But if you don't get me the Eye this time I'll consider our agreement breached,"
"Fine,"
This intrigued me. I wanted to see more, wanted to hear more. But suddenly a force pulled me from behind. The world spurn and blurred. I was outside suddenly, floating, facing the silver moon. It's always the full moon isn't it? I thought in passing. Then more spinning again and the world darkened.
