"IT IS HERE!"

The boy awakened from his dreams

Our nightmare better here to say?

The little one is now big strong man

How many days have passed?

How many tears have fallen?

None

He did not cry

Since that day

The reason is, that every time he has urge for it

He feels his sister hugging him, kissing on his cheek

"Darling?"

He heard her voice, love of his life, uttered her worrying

"It is that nightmare again?"

"No darling, I was scared

That our wedding will be destroyed

By its ruin's Ölum will reign

Whereas our kids will not, have peace in this world"

"But Ölum did not show up in almost 20 years

Your concerns are unjustified worry

Instead, my love, you shall focus on..."

The boy interrupted his future wife

"I will do it for my sister, she wanted to live

I will get my revenge so she will be happy indeed

For my sister's sake!"

Exactly as you are saying she wanted to live

And she will be happy when you are happy indeed"

Turned his gaze away, as if the stars themselves conspired

To weave a tapestry of night, shielding him from the waking nightmare.

Yet, within the shadows of his averted eyes,

Resided the echo of a truth, unspoken yet vivid,

A clandestine accord whispered by the subtle language

Woven in the fabric of his countenance.

On the canvas of his face, painted with the palette of reluctance,

She, the prescient wife, discerned the unsaid verses,

A quiet concordance that resonated in the dimmed echoes

Of his unspoken fears and the nocturnal symphony of their unshared dreams.

"You know that I have been preparing now for 20 years?

Every day

I am mentally ready

And so is my body"

In the quiet aftermath, where echoes of unspoken truths lingered,

The man, veiled in shadows, hesitated in the wake of his revelation.

His gaze, once averted, now sought solace in her discerning eyes,

As if the stars themselves were witnesses to the secrets he'd confined.

A clandestine accord, like the subtle breeze through moonlit leaves,
