63. Timing
Solen was in her own world. She was lucid and almost asleep, completely focused on her husband when she saw him.
"Where am I? And... what is this place?" She thought, part curious, partly scared at the place, that looked so sad, dark, and menacing when she turned and looked at her husband. Dom and he were fighting bees. Oversized and humanoid, and highly skilled on their sword handling.
Suddenly she noticed that her husband left the sword and used close combat on them, trying to knock them instead of killing them.
She cheered him from afar when he finally noticed her. It was surprising for her as well. Her visions hadn't been so lucid and clear for a while, due to her illness, but now she knew that she could access the place where Dom had taken her husband.
The fact that he could see her, however, meant that she was not only psychically projecting herself, but that she was spending the last of her power and energy to see him, what could be the

Captain Nankor sat at the table, beer in hand, and talked to Domi. Both of them celebrated the recovery of the younger man, since he looked like a human being again. "I told you, there was a lady, and I know how those things work!""Yes, captain, I have to accept that you're right," Dom said."Yes! and I have an old story to prove it.""Oh, well, I'd love to hear it!""Well, then I'll tell it," the captain said.Ataturk had been one of the most visited ports for young man Iskren. He was a runaway, and had joined the ship in his very early teen years after his father hit him with a wooden bar and broke it in his back.The ship was his new family, and despite the life at the sea was really a different one than what he was used to, he was still happy, comfortable even. Seeing new places, meeting new people. It was not a pirate ship, so he was pretty safe. They actually transported commercial cargo, especially fabric of the highest quality throu

Captain Nankor paused for a moment. He was visibly affected when he took a big gulp of his beer and then let it rest on the table again with a loud thud. Dominik, and the others around that were hearing the story braced as it seemed this part was going to be hard...Aisha's favorite color was turquoise, it combined perfectly with her skin and her eyes. She didn't like it because of that, but Iskar thought it was just perfect for her.Anything was perfect on her. He saw the turquoise dress she was wearing that day approach one of the windows, as if she was walking around. Then she left the window and the mother got closer to it and opened it.The young man hid himself before the mother could see him, and, now, with the window opened, he could see what the conversation was about."Daughter, you're a compromised woman now. You can't just be seen by your future husband on the streets talking to a boy. Even more, crying or giving or accepting things! Do
Onerea: The City of Dreams 66. A Happy Secret
The third round of beers was served at the table. Captain Nankov was about two thirds on the telling of his very own love story to his new friend Dominik after they were done with their dinner, which consisted of crispy cod with sauteed fresh local vegetables, straight from the market, almost as a celebration of their arrival to Sicily.That stop, where they had been for the last ten hours, marked a little more than half of their trip, and certainly a change to safer waters, which would make the trip faster too.Little by little the other crew members joined the storytelling, until they were surrounded by the whole crew.It was likely that the rest of the ship heard the story a few times already, but that was a good story, and a sailor's story, about sailing and love.

Dominik laughed and held his beer up. The story that the captain was telling had a happy ending, and, even if it ended with a small threat, it gave him hope that at some point he might successfully find his pretty girl. Captain Nankor could easily see how Dom’s eyes shone brightly, and wondered how his mood had been changing so much since they left Burgas. There was no way in which he could be communicating with her between ports, so how was he getting suddenly depressed or incredibly happy because of his lady? It seemed to occur between his sleep periods too. “Maybe it’s all about missing her, and being at sea just amplifies it… Some people are not made for that,” Nankor thought, but still, in the back of his mind stood always the feeling of ‘this is the last trip,’ because he could hardly continue to stay away

Onerea: The City of Dreams 69: Confessions
The telegram had arrived the previous evening with the current location of the director and private owner of the clinic, Dr. Dominik Stoev. “Currently in Sicily. Leaving soon. Hope everything ok in clinic. Let Miss. Agpalza help. She knows everything. Thanks again.” And Dr. Heron De Narra was really happy to know that he was alright, but there were many other things going on in his mind. A few days before, he finally decided to tell Miss Agpalza, that he was genuinely interested in her, and invited her to have dinner together, and besides that, he got to know that the lady was also interested in him! Besides how hard it was for him to believe it, he now needed to choose a place and time for them to sit and talk, and get to know each other a little better. His house w
Onerea: The City of Dreams 70. The Queen's Secret
Dominik’s heart had never been too open to love, but that was not his fault, and not a bad thing completely, especially because there was a good reason for him being like that.The first couple he could really see as an example, and, more than that, what he wanted to have in life, was his beloved mother, and his father.Their love would have survived everything. It is worth to say too that it even survived her death.Both of his parents were actually young and happy, and they lived that way in Dom’s memory even after the years.His mother, a true lady with light brown, curly hair, green eyes like Dom’s, fair skin and a smile that the angels would envy, as his father used to say to her, making sure she knew the way he saw her, was the first love of his d

Dominik was frowning. He tried and put an effort to understand what Onia meant with his first love," but to him, that didn’t make sense at the moment. “I don’t remember falling in love… twenty years ago?” “Yes, my dear, and there is a reason why you don’t remember… Your heart was so broken that I… did something very wrong, and I hope you can understand and forgive me… The last time you were here, before going to rescue Belle, I promised myself that I would undo what I did to you so many years ago… and I am sorry that it took me so long, but…” She stood silent for a moment, while Dom was confused to say the least, but besides that, he was getting worried about how this confession was affecting the Queen. “After all this time, do you really think it matters for me to r
