Idan did not know how many days he had been unconscious. When he regained consciousness, he found himself swimming in the Lava Lake again.
"Did I really dream all this?" he thought, slightly puzzled.
He felt like everything that had happened to him was just a dream. The events he had experienced since the last time he had woken up in the Lava Lake seemed unreal.
The changes in bloodlines, the return to the capital, the acquisition of a territory and a personal home, the candlelit dinner and the realization that the mother he had considered his own all his adult life was actually his aunt, as well as the subsequent meeting with his own mother and younger sister — all this seemed like a dream.
And, of course, the most vivid event in his thoughts was the upcoming wedding with Arabel, the girl he loved.
"I wish this wasn't a dream," Idan thought, remembering everything that had happened, and said these words out loud.
