Dreaming of Flowers Chapter One Hundred
“Thank you again, for doing this.” I say to Larkin as I lead him and his men to their prepared rooms a few hours later.They’d arrived just after the sun started setting, so I told them to rest for a little, clean up if they’d like, and we’d get dinner and drinks ready for them. Larkin looked a little surprised and… maybe a bit smug about the good treatment. I’m sure he was expecting something more along the lines of what Erik was going to do, shared rooms with no space. “Course. I gotta say, the dragons have really taken a liking to you.” When they’d first approached over the hill in a group, looking rather intimidating, the dragons had reacted to say the least. I’d been waiting with a few Alva and my dragons, and as soon as they’d locked onto them, they’d charged them head on, seemingly prepared to fight despite their immature size and age.They’d only stopped when I told them to, scolded them was more accurate. They’d shrunk and sat down by my feet, looking up at me with big sad e

Fifteen minutes later, I was sitting outside of me and Erik’s bedroom window, watching Binny and Bacus wrestle playfully while Beatrix sat on the ground with me, pressed against my leg. She was watching them too, her eyes narrowed on them like she was judging them. I had come here because I had been hoping Erik had stomped off to our room, and maybe I could try to make him a little less angry. I’d been pretty disappointed when he was nowhere to be found. I could’ve gone to his office where I’m sure he actually was, still working, but I didn’t really want to get in a fight with him right now, and it kind of felt like we were on the cusp of one.So I’d sat outside with my dragons alone, just enjoying the warm night breeze. I sighed, resting my chin on my knees. What a complicated life I’d straddled myself with. “You okay?” I jump a little at the sound of a voice suddenly, and turn to see Larkin lingering a few feet away, looking down at me. I cursed a little eternally, because he w

Red eyes that seemed to shrine through the shadows of the trees as he appeared before me. Tall and wide, an irritated expression on his face.Before me stood the Gud, the main person I was trying to stay away from currently. I’m pressed against the wall, my three dragons in front of me, like they were prepared to protect me. I knew they were still too young though, too small and inexperienced to be able to really do anything.“Hello, pretty little thing.” I freeze, turning my face away as he closes the distance between us, easily shoving Binny aside with his foot to stand in front of me. His hand reaches up, and grabs a strand of my hair. He starts wrapping it around his finger, looking at it like it fascinated him. I swallowed thickly, doing everything in my power to keep my voice steady. “Why are you here?” I ask, my face still turned away from him as he brought my strand of hair up to his face and smelled it. His eyes fluttered shut as he inhaled, and I glanced at him. He did ha

“Ah, who do we have here?” The Gud asks, grinning and circling around Erik. “Is this your…”I see his eyes flick down to my ankle, and notice the flash of recognition in them when he spots my anklets. “He is your husband.” He confirms, turning back to Erik to look him up and down, like he was assessing him. “How did a weak little man like you snag yourself a goddess?” He taunts, obviously trying to get a reaction out of Erik.It works, because I can see Erik’s face contorting in anger and his hand moving to rest on the hilt of his sword. His grip on it clenches and unclenches, and I could imagine the internal debate he was probably having right now. I hadn’t really seen Erik in a real fight yet, just training and stuff like that. But something was telling me he was more than capable of holding his own, especially with that giant sword on his hip.“Why are you here?” Erik asks. I’m impressed, because I’m sure that wasn’t what he really wanted to say. He was exhibiting some serious self

The field I was currently standing in was beautiful. The grass was long and green, moving like water in the wind. There were clumps of colorful flowers popping up, drawing my eye immediately to them. Some of the plants seemed to be… glowing. So brightly colored they hurt my eyes to look at. The trees lining the edge of the field were tall and old looking, seemingly reaching out to touch the dark night sky with their twisted fingers. In some of them I could see thick rope with frayed ends swaying from the lower down branches. An image of children climbing all over those ancient trees flashed in my mind. In the distance, lights could be seen and voices could be heard. I could hear evening doves cooing, and bugs singing their song. I could hear the deep croaking of toads coming from a pond pushed in the back corner of the field. It was what I would imagine a fairy tale sounding and looking like. I half expected a deer to come up and nuzzle my neck.“You look like you’re thinking really

He looks up at the big moon with me, and I find my gaze drifting, turning to look at his eyes so that I can see the moon’s reflection in them. Sure enough, it’s like I’m staring into a lake’s surface. “I grew up a mile or so that way,” he points towards the tree line ahead of us. I turned away from his face to follow his pointed finger, where I saw the lights and heard voices earlier. “I grew up with ten younger brothers and sisters.”“That’s a lot of siblings.” I say, looking back at his handsome face. His jaw is clean and sharp looking, his lips thick, with a scar going through the top and lower right corner. It has a brother, going across his right eye. I move my gaze down to his neck, where I can see dark blue lines wrapping around from the back. I gently nudge his jawline, and he complies, twisting his head so I can see the back of his neck. I try to ignore the spark I feel when I touch his skin. A large circle tattoo, which is sliced like a pie, is on the back of his neck. Each

I snap awake, and become aware of everything all at once. The back of my neck is drenched in sweat. My dog is staring at me. It was only a dream. After the last realization, a kind of hole forms in the middle of my chest, and I can feel tears burning at the corners of my eyes. All traces of wonder and hope that came with being in a good dream washed away as my consciousness returned. I sit up, and hold my dog's head in my hands. “It was just a dream.” I tell her, and she responds by licking her waggly chops. I sigh, and let go of her face. I throw my blanket off of me, and perch on the edge of the bed. I can see my reflection in the tall black framed mirror that I have leaning against the wall across the room. My dark brown eyes look wide and wild. My shoulder length black hair is matted in the back, making it look thicker than it usually is. Even from across the room I can tell it looks like I’ve just seen a ghost.Dream or not, that was intense. I rub my fingers together, and

“I got this.” I say to my mother, stretching my neck forward to see the front of the line.It’s been four days since my dream. The day of the dream, I hadn’t really done anything. I fed my dog breakfast and then went back to bed until three, until I had to get up and get ready for work at five. Work had been busy, a pleasant distraction from thinking about my dream. The next few days after that I spent mostly trying to occupy my mind. I cleaned the house and my room, gave my dog a bath, sorted out some clothes to sell for extra cash, stuff like that. My mom thought I was on drugs and I think she was seriously considering buying an at home drug test.I’ve obviously slept since then, and no dreams like that have happened again. I had a dream that I was a mermaid trapped in disney world, and I swear, I could see the guy from the field standing outside my tank, watching me with those blue eyes that captured the moon so perfectly. I mean I know he had said he was from my dreams but... I h

Dreaming of Flowers Chapter Ninety-Nine
The next couple of days we spent preparing for Larkin and his men’s arrival. When I say we, I don’t mean Erik and I. It started when we’d addressed the servants together and he’d told them rather flippantly to prepare five rooms for the incoming guests. I remember the moment I realized Erik was not in fact going to be a grown up about this whole thing, and it would in fact be nothing but one giant headache for me.“He told you ten, plus him.” I had said to Erik. I hadn’t thought for a second he had forgotten; I knew he was being snotty about this whole thing still. Which was fine. I get it. But still. I had taken charge, told them no, we weren’t doing that, but to prepare eleven rooms for them. I had told them if we didn’t have enough room, our people could bunk together for a few nights. These people were guests, and coming of their own accord to help protect me. Erik at least had the decency to look bashful when I’d reminded him and the group of that fact. I’d told Erik to run al
Dreaming of Flowers Chapter Ninety-Eight
Erik and Larkin talked for another hour. I got bored halfway through and started organizing Erik’s desk. He had glanced at me curiously when I’d begun, but now I think I had mostly faded into the background of this conversation. Erik’s idea was we should go to where the remaining Gud species reside, confront them head on and get this over with. He said he didn’t want to wait around for him to attack, always looking over his shoulder. Maybe I was stereotyping here, but I found it interesting how Larkin argued against doing that. I guess from looking at them, you’d assume Larkin was the brute, the one who wanted to charge in head first, swords drawn, ready to die. Unfortunately for me, it seemed my new husband fit that role more accurately. Erik’s eyes were alight with passion and anger as he spoke of his plan to sneak onto their land. Then Larkin would point out the only idea Erik even has on what their territory looks like is based on a fifteen year old sketch of a map his father h

“All good?” Erik asks as we walk inside and join him again. He really had been waiting close by; just past the entry way, standing there like he was a guard himself. As soon as I turned the corner, he had gently grabbed my shoulder and pulled me back against his side, like me not being there had been physically paining him. More like letting me talk to the one man who amounted as my ex, but I was trying not to focus on all the awkward tension rolling between the three of us.“Yup.” I nod and smile up at him, standing on tiptoes to press a kiss to his cheek. He seemed to visibly relax, which was kind of cute. “He wants all of us to talk about the Gud now though.” I say, tilting my head to where Larkin was lingering behind us, awkwardly looking anywhere but at us.Erik nods. “Yes, yes we should. I would go as far to say it’s impossible to think he’s not hunting you.” His hand that had moved to wrap around my waist as he guided us all somewhere tightened a little at his words. I could te

“I came down here for a reason other than breaking up your cat fight.” Erik calls after me as I walk away from him and back towards the main estate. “Someone is here for you.” I stop then, my heart jumping. “Who?” I ask, not turning to look at him yet. He’s quiet for a moment, then says, “Larkin. He wants to talk to you about Bacudal’s death.” I nod, and take a deep breath. “Okay, take me to him.” Erik walks beside me as we head towards the main estate together now. We don’t say anything at first, then I ask, “how did he… seem?” I glance at Erik.He sighs. “Tense. Angry, impatient. I worry another war with the Gud species over this.” I furrow my brow. Another? “Would you like me to remain with you while you talk?” He asks, looking down at me. I shake my head a little. “I feel like you being there won’t help his irritation any.” “Very well. I will remain close by, just in case he attempts to take you back with him again.” I can hear the edge in Erik’s voice when he talks about L
Dreaming of Flowers Chapter Ninety-Five
"Can you believe her?” I huff as soon as Reni is out of earshot, turning to look at Erik. “I’m not entirely sure what just happened.” Erik says, looking at me carefully, like he was trying not to piss me off more. Smart man. “Your favorite and most trusted guard wants me to make my dragons into slaves, like she does to everyone else around here.” I say, gesturing around at nothing in particular. “I see.” Erik nods a little, looking up to where the dragons are now flying in a circle above me. They had come over when the tension had started between me and Reni. I almost wondered if they would’ve done anything had she returned my attack. “She was insulting me, implying I couldn’t handle my dragons properly, and just being a plain bitch.” I finish, crossing my arms angrily at the memory.“Perhaps you misunderstood what she was trying to get at…” he says, and I narrow my eyes at him. I take back what I said before. He wasn’t a smart man, he was a very dumb one. “Seriously? You’re goin
