The Enchantress

13.

Prince Chaeyoung.

I woke up in the middle of the night, startled as I dreamt of her again. I was running after her. I can't see her face clearly yet I knew it was her. She ran ahead when she looked back to look at me I noticed she ran towards the end of the cliff. I shouted for her to stop but she didn't and reached the end of the cliff but instead of falling she continued to run for what looked like an invisible way.

I continued to run after her. As soon as I reached the end of the cliff I motioned my feet to run ahead but it failed to land on anything. That's when I realized I was falling. I looked up she was there looking at me standing on nothing looking like she's floating in mid air.

I then hit the sea hard that it knocked me out. When I regain consciousness I began to gasp for air but I was already deep into the water. As I took my last breath I jolted awake.

I stood and went to the table and drank some water. I went back and lay on my bed. My mind wandered on my dream. It makes me more determined to find her quickly. I need to find her myself at the next kingdom.

The morning came though my sleep was cut off I still woke up early. I exited our sleeping area and walked towards the table and as soon as I sat, Momo emerged from his sleeping area. We ate in silence. A few minutes later, the entrance to the tent opened and the general came in.

"Good morning my Lords"

"Good morning general." I asked him as I put meat on the bread and handed it to him.

"Thank you my Lord." He took a bite and his face showed he liked it.

"Any news?" He then composed himself and took a parchment from his bag and handed it to me.

"A letter from the castle, my Lord."

I took it and read it carefully.

"Well?" Momo asked impatiently.

"We're summoned for breakfast at the castle." I said to him.

"Why didn't they summoned us 5 minutes earlier? I've already ate much." Momo disappointedly said while putting down the chicken he's holding.

"Our horses?" I asked the general.

"All ready outside my Lord as well as the boys."

I then stood and washed my face and hair. I'd be needing a full hot bath anytime now.

Momo did the same and we both strapped in our swords. We slept in full gear so there's nothing much to do.

As we got out, we went to our horses and mounted it. The boys all greeted us. I noticed they all looked like they're well rested except Rowan. He looked grim. We began to ride slowly towards the castle.

"You look like you've risen from the dead." I said glancing at him behind me.

"He screamed like a baby in his sleep." Mason said mocking him

"Who wouldn't, I dreamt that I shot the arrow on the guards neck the blood flows from it as if it's a waterfall. Then the blood became a wave full of bodies. Why would I dream such a thing when I haven't even kill anyone."

The boys all laughed at how disgusted he looked.

"Welcome to the battlefield kid. It'll be much worse than that once you got your first kill." Sato said.

The laughter died down as we reached the gate.

Looking up I saw the Arrows are watching their bows at the ready. A few minutes later we reached the castle gate which was wide opened. The general greeted us as we unmounted and escorted us inside.
