Chapter 9 - THE DREAM

The town of Helge was a small town found at the eastern part of Marduk , it is known for it's warm and clear weather , the people were busy with their daily activities not caring about the one girl who was wandering around like a lost sheep which she is at the moment . Looking round her she began to have a rethink about dropping here , maybe she should have gone to Erred a town of Marduk located at the west ,

ahhh !!!!!

she stomped her feet on the ground angrily , running away from home is really not a great idea , she took a deep breathe and then proceed to find an inn , she really needs somewhere to lay her head .

She was walking carelessly when she sighted an inn , with high hope , she approached the inn keeper who was standing outside properly waiting for customers .

" excuse me kind sir , is there a room available ? " the inn keeper stared at her from head to toe , the girl looked messy , her hair was as messy as she was but looking at the material which her cloth was made from made the inn keeper wonder what such a girl will be doing wearing such an expensive dress .

" can you afford to pay ? " the inn keeper asked , he was an elderly aged man . She gently unwrapped the faded brown cloth to review the jewels , she was careful not to review whatsoever thing that was the main reason why she was holding the cloth .

" i don't have much but i believe this will be enough " she shove some of the jewels into his palm , the man was dumbfounded, he stare at the shining emeralds in his palm , being an inn keeper one must be expecting him to have seen things like this but no , Helge isn't one of those fancy town where the rich and prestige go to , thus this was a really surprising thing to see .

" good sir ? " She called out when she noticed how he was staring at the jewels like his life depends on it .

" hmm...mm..ahh... this way young miss " the old man said fumbling with his words , his attitude towards her changed instantly and that 'go away ' look he gave her changed as well , he was suddenly nice to her .

She was assign to her inn which was fancy compare to what she has imagined , the bed might not be as comfortable as the one back home but it was better than okay , stripping herself , she let the dirty dress fall freely on the cemented floor, she carefully dropped the brown cloth on the bed and then walk towards the bathroom or what could be called a bathroom .

The tub was made from steel and it seems old so were the curtains and mirrors , well this will do , she could remember the inn keeper mumbling something about this being the best room in the inn , which made her wonder how the others might be , well that is none of her business as she is here to enjoy freedom and not die in boredom . She lowered herself into the tub after filling it with water and some liquid soap, the moment the chill water came in contact with her body all the stress of the day was forgotten.

*******************

The scenery was totally forest green , the grasses were as green as newly born , from the grasses to the leaves on the trees , everything was just so beautiful , ahead was something like a rainbow water fall , with the golden yellow light of the sun reflecting on it making it look like a rainbow water . She stood at the foot of a green mango tree watching the water as it falls down and then flows past her , she squat and then dip her right hand into the ground water causing it to radiate , it glowed the moment her hand touched it , she stayed there for few seconds playing with the water when someone appeared behind her .

" You seem to be so fond of the mystic falls " The image said , the voice was that of a woman and she seems to be familiar with the person because she didn't even turn back .

" let's say mystic falls and i have something in common " she replied , her brown hair which was dancing to the rhymes of wind was suddenly grabbed by someone and before she knew it she was pulled away from the beautiful scenery to a deserted place .

" What seems to be the problem now Cannae ?" she asked in a calmed voice , like what just happened meant nothing to her .

" The war has gone beyond the five lands and it's now going to the human lands " The Cannae , a woman with lime green eyes and forest green hair said , The colour might seem off but in Cannae it was a sight to behold not to talk more about the leave green dress she has on .

" i suspected that already , never knew it will go this far " came her anguish voice . She stare round the place what used to be known as the beautiful town of Helge , the simple town with it's simple people was caught in a crossfire between the Elves and wolves , and there is a saying that when two elephants fights , the grasses suffer , that's exactly the case .

" Many lives has been lost " Cannae's voice can as if trying to remind her .

" i know but..." she took a deep breath .

" you need to release dragon's flame "

******************

The splashing of water was heard as she rose from the tub , she stretched her body and rubbed her eyes sleepy ,

oh!! not again , she can't believe she fell asleep in this tub and ended up having one of those unreal dreams , she carefully stepped out from the tub , took a towel which hung at a corner and walked out .

Stepping into the main room while trying to dry her hair , she found something glowing , approaching it , only to realise that it was her family heirloom which was glowing, almost immediately the voice from her dream rang in her head .

" you need to release dragon's flame " .
