It was almost midnight and Ivana was waking up from the same dream again. The very dream that has tormented her since she entered the Palace two decades ago. She hugged herself so tight on the bed whispering softly to herself while she trembles. "Ivy you're going to be fine. it is just a bad dream". She shook her head again when the memory of the dream same flooding into her mind again. She banged her bed with her fist very hard, "I cannot seem to understand why I cannot wipe this nightmare out of my mind". Ivana while drenched in her own sweat in her pyjamas got up to get dressed.
She changed into her training outfit and went into the arena to train very hard so she can at least get the vivid image of the Demon out of her head. This night, the dream was more vivid than usual. She saw more vivid images of a god-like being on a secluded realm which looks like night and brimstone and a gloomy castle built on top of the highest hill in that realm. She was left alone in this realm with the scary being and was left to defend herself. Each time in her dream, she struggles to get away from the Demon but it seems there is no way out for her and this creature keeps taunting her and bidding his time to strike like the predator he is. When he gets bored, he stalks her while calling her name seductively. He sounds like a hundred thunder coming together with an undertone of male masculinity and sexiness. Ivana ends up tired and black out only to wake up from the dream. She shook her head agaun in frustration just to clear the dream from her mind."I have to train more so my mind would be tired enough to forget the nightmare".
Ivana kept on training till dawn broke and other Dakarai trainees and soldiers started trooping into the arena for early morning training.
