She was dreaming again.

But this time it was not the same warming darkness, it was the night sky full of burning stars, it was one of the most beautiful views she had ever seen. She was in a cliff overlooking a lake or was it an ocean? it was cold but not as cold as the winter court and it smlled like wet grass as if it had just finished raining.

She was still looking at the stars above when she heard heavy wing fluttering, knowing what was coming she quickly turned around and saw a broad back covered by what it looked like leather, but that wasn't what caught her attention it was the majestic leathery wings perched in his back, she was amazed by them. The only people she knew had those type of wings were Ilyrians, a lower fae race that came from the night court.

He was looking around the bast green space, and when he turned around, much to her dissappointment she couldn't see his face it was blurred, they stood staring at each other for a long time or that's what it felt like. Now that he had turned around she could see the seven blue syphons that were in different parts of his body, his muscled body-

"Who are you?" She softly whispered afraid that if she talked to loudly she might wake up.

"I'm no one" He replied warily, he didn't know why he felt so comfortable in the presence of this blurred stranger but one thing he does know is not to tell his name he was still the spymaster after all, no matter how much his senses where telling him to just say it. Judging by her pointy ears and fine clothes he could tell she was high fae and from the winter court because of her white hair and pale skin. Her voice was like music to his ears and the feeling for wanting to hearing her talk more confused him.

Azriel didn't even know how he got here one moment he was laying in his bed in the brink of going to the dream realm, when he closed his eyes to be met with the view of a green cliff where a woman drssed in blue stood.

"Really?" Kallista snorted "Well no one, my name is Kallista"

Kallista

He went even more confused when he felt his heart do a flip, and the feeling to tell her his name grew even stronger.

"Now no one, why have you been plaguing my dreams for months?" She grinned

"I could ask the same to you" He replied with his husky voice that Kallista realized she could hear him talk for years and her stomach will still be filled with butterflies.

It's true, Azriel has been havimg strange dreams, dreams he hadn't have before or ever, he rarely even dreams. But this past weeks he had been dreaming the same, snow all around him, a melodic voice saying his name over and over, and blue eyes as a sky in summer dreams.

Azriel was still staring at her, how her soft hair moved when the wind passed through the cliff, and how her dainty hands stopped it from getting in her face. Kallista started to feel anxious, she started to walk towards him and after staring at his blurred face and deciding after a few seconds that she would not get to see his face, she started surrounding him, to get a look at those black wings.

"So you are ilyrian?" She asked softly while raising her hand to touch but stopped an inch away remembering that ilyrians don't like their wings touched.

"Yeah, how did you notice?" He asked sarcastically and his lips turn up a liitle. Wait, did I just make a joke?, He was surprised to say the least he rarely jokes especially with strangers. He heard her let out a quiet giggle, which made his lips turn up more.

"Well obviously the wings, and I read about Ilyrians in a book some time ago" She murmered while still hypnotize with his wings. Azriel turned around wanting to try and see her but she still had a blurred face.

"You read about Ilyrians?" He asked shocked, why would someone want to read a book about Ilyrians?

"Yeah.... why do you sound so shocked?" Kallista smiled while looking up at him, he was pretty tall, she was just reaching the top of his neck.

"You do know about-"

"Your traditions? yeah but I choose to believe in not judging a person by what he looks or what they are" Kallista said obviously reading the meaning behind his words of, why are you not running from me?

Azriel smiled. Kallista started to feel like waking up.

"Oh"  Azriel furrowed his eyebrows in the dissapointment in her voice "I'm waking up, well goodbye no one" Kallista smiled while her vision started to darken.

At the brink of already leaving she heard the whisper of a name.

Azriel

Kallista slowly woke up, and instantly recognized the soft silky bedding of her bed. she tried to open the eyes to instantly closed them again because of the rays of the sun going through her window. She finally mustered enough strenght to open her eyes and to sit on the bed.

"Oh thank the mother!" Someone yelled at left of her startling Kallista, and then someone hugged her very thightly, she recognized Alara's perfume and tried to hug her back no matter how weak she was feeling.

"I cant-... breathe" Kallista muttered when the hug got to tight.

"sorry" Alara said apologetically "It's just I was so worried everyone was, we thought the worst" she whispered the last part.

"It's okay, it wasn't that bad" Kallista ignored the pounding headache  and tried to get up from the bed.

"No, no, no you are to stay in bed Missy" Alara scolded bringing her back to the bad "And what do you mean it wasn't that bad, you almost died!"

"Okay, not true it was just cold water, nothing Joni can't repair" The princess explained. Alara just rolled her eyes while smiling softly when she heard her friend passing her almost death experience as nothing. Kallista always does this when something happens to her, she has explained that she just doesn't want people to worry so much. "and anyways what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?" Kallista estated while grinning towards her.

"Yeah, yeah just rest you need it, i'll call your father and brother, and I swear Kallista if you move from that bed I will throw you into it like a sack of potatoes" Alara threatend while pointing her index finger at her and then left he room.
