Sophie's POV
I sure did not sleep well, nor did I dream of glorious death.
After I got back from dinner, I explored my room a bit more. Rooting through the drawers, I found a music player that seemed to have every song that I had on my old iPod before I died, plus several hundred more, which I had never heard before.
Going to my new massive bed, I plonked myself onto it, put in my earbuds, and listened to my 'calming' playlist.
Thinking back to the prophecy, I thought about what it could mean.
Twelve days hence, shadows shall vie
I didn't know what to make of this line. I assumed that 'twelve days hence' meant that I had twelve days to do something. However, 'shadows shall vie' wasn't as clear. From what I remembered, 'vie' meant that people compete to do something. From what I understood, this didn't sound good.
A silent flutter marks the path where answers lie
This line was less ominous than the first. The 'silent flutter' seemed like some sort of flight, like a bird. 'The path where answers lie' seemed quite good, I did want answers, so that was nice.
Through fragile wings, destiny is spun
This one was slightly confusing, as 'fragile wings' didn't seem so bad. On the other hand, 'destiny is spun' was strange. I thought that was the job of the Norns, not whatever the prophecy was talking about.
Or darkness shall claim what the light has begun
This line of the prophecy felt quite foreboding. The 'darkness claiming' the 'light' felt metaphorical to me. However, it could be literal, I didn't truly know. But the line didn't sound good.
I glanced at the clock conveniently placed on a straight part of the wall. It read 22:35. I had been listening to my playlist for roughly two hours.
I sighed and decided that I should probably get some sleep, so I took my earbuds out, put them on the nightstand, and lay tossing and turning for who knows how long until I finally fell into an uneven sleep.

Sorry for taking so long, and publishing such a short chapter. I've been busy. I also apologise for this (what I consider) low quality chapter.

KotLC: Eclipse (KotLC X Magnus Chase)
FanfictionAn idea that I had when I noticed that there aren't many crossovers between kotlc and Magnus Chase. The first few chapters may be similar to the first Magnus Chase book, but it will go on a different path to them. ---------------------------------- ...
