"I read a lot about him in the books written by the scholars," she said. Her eyes could not hide the amazement of seeing a famous figure. "Very well, then. Be careful dealing with him. His insanity is slowly devouring him, day after day," the older maid warned her. "It is indeed miserable to become the mad king of Grellis," she exclaimed, still looking at the man who was laughin

Or it’s just a dream? But why does it felt so real? I look outside the window and realize that it’s already midnight. I slept too long reason why I skipped dinner. Instead of going downstairs to eat, I decided to go back to sleep. But those voices… they seem so real. I hope they’re not. Because if it’s true, why can’t I remember it? Do I have amnesia? But that’s impossible. I can still remember my childhood. I put myself back to bed and stared at the ceiling until I slowly fell asleep once again. “You killed her!”

He just wanted to watch and find out all she could do. Madison knew coming here would help her calm herself and help to get rid of any thoughts still lingering around about Jacob. She tried to find a spell in her book her grandmother had given to her to block someone from her mind mentally, but that type of sorcery was only for those who had been practicing forever.

I just need noise at this point. Silence becomes too much sometimes and I just need a show or music on in the background to keep my mind from running away. As I stand to make myself some food, I see almost a maroon colored mist swirling around my hands. I stare for a long minute trying to decide on whether I’m crazy or not.

I kept on feeling that if I was a little slower, something bad was going to happen and it was not a result I could accept. And that was the truth. I kept on banging on the door with as much strength as I could muster. The sounds attracted the neighbors nearby and they all came to ask me what was happening.
