It’s been a month since the royals left, according to the journey span, they are still on their way to Thia. Gwen refused to leave Adeya side since the news of Venthra pregnancy, She’s scared, she might runaway or emotionally depressed which might end up killing her baby.
It was midnight, Adeya was sleeping with Gwen by her side, she don’t know where she was but inside the cold chilling forest, she began to hear laughter and whisper.
“Run…..run dreamer run” the whisper said for Adeya to look around wondering where the whisper was coming from.
“Run dreamer” The voice kept on saying but Adeya could remember the seer telling her never to give in to the creature of her dream. They want to eliminate her pregnancy so she can come back to dreaming.
Adeya was scared but she kept on looking around without running. Her baby is her priority. If she loose this child, she won’t ever forgive herself for being spiritually and physically weak. She wrap her hands around her stomach protecting her baby bump.
“ oh dreamer… run, danger is coming” the voice said but Adeya refused to move. She try to wake up but she couldn’t.
A manly figure in a dark cloak holding a scythe began to walk towards Adeya as dark smoke surround him. Adeya kept on her ground protecting her baby bump even tho there was fear written all over her face.
The dark cloak stop at her front and the whisper like voice began to speak.
“Your seer thought you well Dreamer” the Goona said for Adeya to keep silence.
“You are suffering…. Let go of the child and focus on your gift dreamer. I can help you get rid of it” The Goona said for Adeya to frown, immediately she protect her child more.
“How dare you speak ill of my fetus, I refuse to let you enter my head Goona” Adeya angrily said for the Goona to start laughing.
Adeya was so angry that she began to speak in ancient Ghia, she don’t know what’s she’s saying but for the thought of loosing her baby, she became furious.
“Tsa thindo groos Silka fidelus. Tsa thindo groos Silka fidelus” Adeya said the words two times for the Goona to immediately turn into dark smoke and disappear. Adeya didn’t know the meaning of what she said but she knows it help her to protect her baby from the creature of Thenas trying to break into Thi’an.
“Suzina!” Adeya scream her seer name because she don’t understand why she was still seeing this creatures after being pregnant for three months now.
Adeya immediately find herself inside the crystal cave.
“You did well dreamer” Suzina appear in all white attire at Adeya front.
“What just happened, am I supposed to see them?” Adeya asked for suzina to smile.
“That’s the grim reaper sent to you by the Goona to get rid of your child so they can have access to come to your dream and break into Thi’an. But you were able to send it away by speaking the words your ancestors do use to chase evil” the seer said walking to the crystal ball.
“What does it mean, I didn’t know what I was speaking” Adeya said for the seer to smile.
“Stay away from us oh you evil reaper,” you repeated it twice. The bloodline of the dreamer is beginning to show in you” the seer said for Adeya to sigh.
“I thought I wasn’t supposed to…..
“Yes, you weren’t supposed to but you’ve become emotionally weak. You’ve allowed hate from the pain you feel because of your surroundings. The pains the man you love fix in you is making you emotionally weak, your child is in danger dreamer. Protect her with your mind. You will be the first dreamer to give birth to your kind directly” the seer said for Adeya to gently rub her protruding stomach. Suzina wanted to tell her so bad that venthra child is not Thiasus but she can’t as she’s not to interfere with her dreamer physical life only spiritual.
“Protect your child” Suzina said carrying the crystalline water coming from a crystal rock and gave Adeya to drink.
“Drink… it will protect your child but not as your emotional ability will. Your emotions is the only strong element that can protect your daughter” immediately Suzina said those words, Adeya drank the water. Immediately she woke up panting with worried Gwen by her side.
“What kind of ancient languages were you speaking in your sleep Adeya, you scared me” Gwen said for Adeya to cover her face.
“Am sorry… am sorry, I don’t know what happened, I was just having nightmares” Adeya said sitting up.
“Calm down ok…let me prepare your medicine.” Gwen immediately stand up and left to prepare Adeya medicine. It’s still too early but Gwen couldn’t rest after seeing how she’s struggling in her sleep. Adeya hold her stomach as she whisper to her baby.
“Mama will protect you Rhia” Adeya said as she already name her daughter in her heart. Rhia meaning “Graceful” in Ghia.
Adeya knows she needs to find peace with Thiasus, that’s not too hard to do but her problem is when Venthra will be asked to come stay in the palace, she have love Thiasus too much to share him with another woman who is pregnant with his child. Anytime she remember what she saw, hate towards Thiasus continue to build in her heart for hurting her this much.
Adeya know for Her daughter sake, she must write to Thiasus and ask him to reply back to her so at least she will know he’s not angry since he left when they weren’t in good terms.
Adeya stood up to go write to Thiasus. She open the ink and the little paper as she began to write.
Few minutes later, Gwen and samizdat enter to see Adeya busy writing.
“What are you doing?” Gwen walk towards Adeya who turn to her.
“Writing to Thiasus” she said as she continue to write.
“You must not tell him about venthra pregnancy Adeya, Thiasus won’t hesitate to cut off the journey and come back just to make sure you don’t leave him” she said for Adeya to smile.
“No…. That’s a surprise gift waiting for him. I am writing to tell him we are fine, he should come back to us being the recognize prince of mandre” Adeya said smiling for Gwen to sigh.
“We will send it through the palace messenger bird, it will be faster.” Gwen said for Adeya to nod.
Once she was done.Gwen call the bird and fix the letter sending it to Thiasus.
“My princess, here’s your meal and medicine.” Samizdat served Adeya who smile at her. The both ladies felt a little relief after seeing Adeya smile. She has been drowning in her emotions after venthra visit a month ago. Gwen didn’t know what she saw in her nightmares but she guess it’s good she have the nightmares at least she’s more better than before.
The ladies began to discuss randomly with Adeya smile and laughter, Gwen became more relief.
At the deep forest of Mandre to Thia, the journey still has a month to go, Thiasus don’t know if he should write to Adeya, he’s been worried about her but he couldn’t because she was angry at him before he left.
“Let’s take a rest” king Thanium said to his general who stop everyone and they all went to look for a place to rest. Thiasus stood looking far into the thick forest they still have to pass when he heard his mother voice.
“Don’t worry… soon we will be there” she said for her son to hug her.
“I miss her” he said for Sanya to sigh.
Gwen warned her not to speak to Thiasus about what happened. Scared her son will find the letter, she burnt it.
“What am I missing?” King Thanium walk to his family.
“It’s nothing my love…just a mother and son hug” Queen Sanya said for King Thanium to smile.
“Ok… enjoy” he said giving them privacy.
“Am very sure she miss you too” Sanya said for Thiasus to sigh.
“Not going to be there watching our child grow big in her stomach hurt me more”Thiasus said for Sanya to awkwardly smile as she try hard not to spill. Thiasus and his mother where discussing when the palace messenger bird landed on his hand. Thiasus removed the letter and open it.
“It’s from her” he happily said for his mother to smile giving him privacy.
Thiasus open the letter and began to read.
“My love.. we’ve missed you so much. I know things wasn’t ok when you left but we cried knowing you left without a goodbye kiss. We can’t wait for you to come back with the title of being the recognized and soon to be king of mandre. Write to me so I can know that you miss us too and you are no more angry at us.
Me and our baby loves you very much.
Adeya”
Thiasus sigh as he kept smiling. Sanya who was watching sigh in relief as it’s not what she was thinking. Immediately Thiasus fold the letter as he went to write to Adeya back.
At Thia forest, it’s more close to Ghia than mandre. The Ghia royals have only two week to arrive at the palace but their journey was getting slow because of Hectare who fall ill.
The royal doctor who followed for the journey have tried everything to keep him stable but Hectare was getting worse. Melissa was so worried because the boy immune is too weak for stressful journey. Inside the tent, Elias sat close to his mother while Hectare lay putting his head on Melissa.
“We should monitor his health today before we move again” Melissa suggested for Diatus to nod.
“His system didn’t like long journey stress. He’s too weak” the royal doctor said for Diatus to sigh.
“Is he improving?” He asked for the doctor to shake his head.
“No my king” he said for Melissa to sadly sigh. Nella will accuse her if anything happened to her son. Elias could see how pale his brother has become has he wonder how will a human be this weak. He needs to help and he can only know what to do by asking his personal servant. Elias stood up and left the tent.
“Grotto” Elias called for the boy to run towards him bowing his head.
“Can we help my brother?” He asked for the boy to nod in hesistant.
“Except when people aren’t watching” he said for Elias to sigh in total relief……..
