The Land Of The Dead

Chapter two: Glory's Nightmare

... she frantically tossed early in the morning after waking up from a horrifying nightmare.

Source tossed, too, in a fright -- beside her, "what's the matter?" He asked as he wrapped his arm around her. "I had a nigh'mare, that's all."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"Okay--" he kissed her chick, "now that I'm up, I might as well be rather useful to my kingdom."

Glory smiled amusingly, "our kingdom, love. Our kingdom."

"Queens never have nightmares. So it's my kingdom."

Glory wore a thoughtful expression like she had generated an idea. "What?" Source asked. "Something I have to do."
She got out of bed quickly and called for the royal guards to go and call Tyandra.

Some time later, they met near the forest, where Glory caught Tyandra using powers to heal her wound.

"My queen." She bowed, respectfully. "You sent for me."

"Yes."

"You seem out of place, my queen, what's the matter?"

"I had a dream." She wandered about, back and forth-- nervous as hell.

"Care to share?"

"I was burning. Witchy, I was burning in my dream, however I felt the pain for real. It was excruciating." Glory was describing her dream to Tyandra with indication on her face that she was both confused and terrified. She had a big secret, that's why she had every reason to be.

"My queen, please dive into details. I fail to meet you halfway." Tyandra was confused also, not because she didn't understand the dream, but because she'd never seen Glory agitated before. Not even in England.

"Okay, okay," Glory looked about. "The woods." She pushed Tyandra by her arm into the woods with her, "come."

"Okay, listen. There was a hideous monster chasing me in these woods. I ran and ran until I reached the river, and I was too weak to continue. Then it caught up with me--" during that while when she was in the middle of reaching to the climax of her dream, her eyes were wide in terror as if it was happening again.

"It then set me on fire." She looked at Tyandra, expecting a comment from her. Tyandra lifted her leg and started walking thoughtfully, and came back to Glory. "I don't  understand your dream, my queen. I mean, have you seen this monster before?"

"No. It was the bloody first time I've ever seen it."

"Feeling the pain?, maybe it was a premonition, my queen."

"What premonition?"

"I don't know. I don't understand."

"Know what? Go on now, I'll call for you when I'll need you again."

"My queen." She bowed and walked away with a quick pace.

Glory went back to the palace and found king Source having breakfast. "Started without me." She kissed his chick and sat down. "I was hungry, I couldn't wait."

"Oh, how rude of you."

They ate their breakfast and went on with their day normally.
