Life As A Divine (A MCD Fan fiction)

Chap. 19 ~ I'm Not Asking

~~~~~~/Anna's POV/~~~~~~

I can feel my eyes flutter open, but everything's blurry. It takes a while for my eyes to regain focus. I groan. "My head..."

"Anna!" A voice calls out. The sound of heavy footsteps becomes louder and louder as the voice approaches.

"Huh?" I look to the side of me and see Aphmau's head above me. She sits down in the chair that's next to the bed I'm in. She grabs my hand and holds it tight.

"Are you okay? Do you need anything?" Aphmau asks. Her face is full of concern and worry.

"I'm fine... What happened?" I question.

"I was hoping you knew. Can you remember anything?" Aphmau wonders.

"Um... Liochant and I were talking... While you and Travis were somewhere on the other side of the mountain... And my head started to hurt. The same way it does when I'm about to have a vision."

"Did you have a vision this time?" 

"No... I don't think so... I do remember the feeling that I was going to faint." I explain.

"Liochant mention that you asked if he would catch you."

"I'm so confused... Normally when I have a vision, I just zone out... What happened?" I mutter. "How long have I been out?"

"About a day, day and a half." Aph replies.

"How did you manage to bring me down the mountain?"

"Liochant carried you. Travis and Katelyn offered to take turns with him, but he said he was fine."

"Where is everyone?" I ask.

"Katelyn and Travis are outside. Liochant, Garroth, and the girls are back at the capital."

A few images flashed in my mind. "The relic..."

"What?"

"So it was a vision..." I concur.

"Do you remember it?"

"Partially... I saw a relic... Menphia's and Enki's... Irene was gifting the relics to them. Menphia looked determined, and he was nervous... As if knew something. He was the keeper of knowledge after all..." I explain. "That's all I remember."

"That's okay. You spoke as if you've had these visions before?"

"I have. For a while now. I'm not sure if I told you about the visions themselves or just the details of what I saw..."

"Is it always the same thing? Irene giving them their relics?"

"Yes. Sometimes I see Garroth's face instead of Esmund... And you instead of Irene."

"I thought you would've seen us as the same... Considering..."

"Irene has longer hair and you still have passion in your eyes." I explain.

"I see."

"I always notice new things. Like their body language... Their tone... Their reaction. It's always slightly different."

"Are these really visions... Or memories?"

"I believe their visions... I never see through Menphia's eyes. Always as if I was floating in a corner, starring down at them."

"Aphmau! We're here." A loud and commanding voice calls out. Katelyn.

"Are we on the boat?" I ask, unable to feel any waves.

"Yes. The sea's very calm. It's a little unsettling."

"I agree." I state. "Enki Island, I presume."

"Yes."
