Princess Of The Flame |Dota: Dragons Blood|

Part 28.

|Skylana|

My dreams were silent and I was completely alone in my own head. Despite Slyraks constant presence, I could not feel the presence of Aurrak. Since the moment she vanished I have felt much less like myself. The feeling of joy and compassion had slowly dwindled.

I lay in a guest bedroom in Linas lovely home, staring at the ceiling.

"What troubles you, little mouse?" Slyrak asks.

"I cannot feel Aurraks presence. Before, she was always there. But now, I don't even feel like myself..."

The Eldwurm growled.

"We shall prevail, little mouse. Once the Eye is found, Terrorblade shall fall..."

The thought of the Demon perishing a tragic death brought a smile to my face. Considering all he has done, he has it coming and shall receive no remorse from me. He stole Uldorak and quite possibly the other Eldwurm Souls. Slyrak and I will eviscerate that unholy beast even if it is the last thing we ever do.

Just then, I heard a knock on the door.

"Enter." I say.

To no surprise, Davion opened the door and entered the room.

"Hey, you doing okay?"

"Yes, just feeling a bit drained this morning."

I sat up in bed with a stretch, groaning as I did so. Getting out of bed, I approached the Dragon Knight.

"Has Lina gone off to speak with the Emperor yet?"

"She left a while ago. Skylana, are you sure that this 'Eye' is even here?"

I nod.

"Without a doubt."

"Well, alright. Hey, since we have some time, wanna go walk around the kingdom?"

I raised a brow with a grin.

"Davion the Dragon Knight, are you asking me to accompany you on a date?"

The man chuckled.

"Sure, if you want to call it that."

I would giggle.

"Alright then, I accept."

Davion and I wandered the streets of the Imperium. Many of the people here dressed modestly and were well off. Good for them, I suppose. The homes here were quite nice and belonged to those of either the rich or middle class. The few memories of this place were slowly coming back.

"Hasn't changed much if at all." I said.

"Guess they're not too big on change. So, do you remember how to navigate this place?"

I shrugged.

"Only to the markets and back to the tailor. I never had the need to go anywhere else."

"Ah..."

Of course I went to other places in the Solar City, but I vaguely remember the directions to them now. Come on Skylana, your memory is better than this. I took a deep breath and glanced at our surroundings.

A pub, a blacksmith, several homes sitting right next to one another. Hm, this area is actually more familiar than I previously thought. If I recall correctly, I do remember making a delivery to someone in this area. It was not far from the old woman who took me in.

"This area, I believe we are near the tailor!"

"Oh really? Alright, which way?" The Knight asks.

"Follow me!"
