“To be or not to be, you have no choice in it”

Marina

The woman sat on a big rock that looked entirely out of place in the pine tree forest that we were in.

“Here to show me more weird children in the middle of nowhere?” I asked. I knew these dreams meant something, but I am too tired of unanswered questions and puzzles.

Every one had a mystery that I somehow had to take part in but no one was explaining it to me.

“You went looking for something today. It would have cost you your life” she said

    ”You think you have found the answer? Or has the answer found you?”Marina “I have barely gotten to know you. Trust is a far fetched concept” he said. Not saying no, but giving a reason it was not a yes.“You know my name is Marina Revlasor. You know I am the daughter of a haymaker, Koltko Revlasor. You know my family is poor and that is why I am here. You know my loyalty lies in the contract I have with your authority and I am under an agreement to not divulge anything from within this castle perimeters”“I also know you have green eyes, black hair, an attitude around me most of the time and an ability to disguise fear as unconcern” he added, the last part seemed too weird for him to have noticed.“I did try my best to withhold my attitude but I hate being commanded”He lifted a brow in slight amusement “The point is, this information is still not enough”“What else would you want to know?” I gave him some time to answer but when he did not, I carried on “If I share what I have with

    ”Hecates, Wreath and Diamond have aligned in the stars”Xanthanius Frankelis walked out feeling elated. Things were going well for her role. That was at least some good news in this country.I began last night to draft the response to Xialara. It was an invitation to her country which I duly accepted. The letter in front of me required finishing touches which I had been thinking of when the door to the meeting hall opened.It was Marina. Pushing the paper aside, I stood to my feet and watched her approach. “Your highness” she said with a curtsy and I was almost tempted to tell her to skip her pretense.“How are you feeling today?” “Better. May I have a seat?” “Definitely”She takes the chair which Frankelis had just left empty less than ten minutes ago and she turned to me.“Hope you are well too?” If it was a display of manners because I had asked her first or if she was truly concerned, I had no idea.I still remained standing.“Yes.” There was a reason she came here and I need

    “To be or not to be, you have no choice in it”MarinaThe woman sat on a big rock that looked entirely out of place in the pine tree forest that we were in.“Here to show me more weird children in the middle of nowhere?” I asked. I knew these dreams meant something, but I am too tired of unanswered questions and puzzles.Every one had a mystery that I somehow had to take part in but no one was explaining it to me.“You went looking for something today. It would have cost you your life” she said as she stood from her rock of comfort and walked in my direction.“You can see into my reality?” The last time I had a hint she could was when we had the conversation where I called the castle my home and she reiterated the statement with sarcasm.A conversation I did not dwell upon.“No. Let’s go quickly, it’s about to start” and she led the way.I had a strong gut feeling that she was lying about her answer but I was exhausted. So I just followed her instead.We did not walk for long before w

    ”Materials, Methods, Men and Money, are all you need”MarinaThe smell of sweat, malt and barley struck my nose so heavily because I was unprepared. Subconsciously, my left hand flew to my nostrils to act as a filter.It did nothing to help by the way.Millions of conversations were taking place at the same time. The boisterous crowd was early deafening. Sometimes I wondered if they even heard themselves speak or if it was just a display where someone’s mouth moved and the rest laughed in unison just to get another bottle of beer paid for.I clutched the sack of coins in my right hand tighter, lest anyone dragged it away after noticing what it contained and I went straight for the bar.Usually, the stools directly in front of the bar were occupied by lone rangers. People who came to drink away their sorrows and soliloquize in semi-solitude.Colliding with a few half drunk men was normal when walking through Eclaris. I just had to make sure I did not trip and fall over from the moment

    ”There comes a time when the song is perfect, but before then all you hear are the mistakes”MarinaI stared at my reflection in the mirror as I applied a little powder on my nose.My eyes looked swollen, like I had been crying. What I really lacked, was sleep.Shutting my eyes last night felt like a punishment. Each time I closed my eyes today, the dream I had danced behind my eyelids.The woman who had escorted me in my last dream, or best described as a nightmare, was here again.“Are you like a spirit guide from the gods or something?” I asked, coming to full acceptance that she was the only one who could hear me.Even though sometimes she pretended like she could not.But I could see through that facade now.“See me as a friend” she said, and began leading me to another destination.This did not feel like a dream. It felt like a fragment of reality that only I could see and witness.I was led over a bridge made of bricks and wooden railings that had seen the wear and tear of year

    ”Visions and dreams will fill the void when the hour is nigh and time deployed”Xanthanius I placed the letter from Xialara back in its envelope and pushed it into the nearest drawer. Telling myself I would get to reply when I retired for the day.Adjusting the collar of my dark brown suit, I walked out of the room and locked the door. Slipping one key into my back pocket and handing the second to the guard down the hallway. The scar on my chest was beginning to sting again but it was very ignorable. For now, Anthonier and I needed to meet with Granj.We were more desperate for the guard to heal now more than ever. He needed to tell us what had actually happened.I weaved my way through the halls and arrived at the clinic. Ascending to the second floor above where we usually convened. Anthonier was yet to arrive but Granj just slipped out of one of the cubicles with a smile.“Your Highness. A pleasure to have you here once again” he said, he held a clipboard and a pen in one of his

    “Do you hear it? The end is near. The alarms awake the dead from sleep”Xanthanius Farlick tower was located at the outskirts of the country. Almost near the eastern isle of lands. The air around it was always moist as a water body was not too far away. During the season of rain, you would have t
