I try to open my eyes.

I can see some light already.

I try to focus my vision but I can't. Everything's blurred. I have to get up.

"No, no, no..." says a voice getting closer to me "You've to stay laying down till we know what's wrong with you."

I can't focus but I know it was a ginger lady. The hair was what caught my attention, and her voice. Well you can say it was her voice that helped me deciding if she was a ginger woman or man.

"Where am I? What's wrong with my eyes?"

"Calm down, it will pass." she said warmly "As to the place you're in the infirmary" she went on.

"Where is she? What happened?" it's a man talking... his voice sounds familiar but I can't put my finger on it.

"Sir, she's still recovering but we suspect this..."

"Shh..."says the man interrupting the ginger lady "Let me alone with her."

"Yes, sir"

"Philippa!" I see the figure of the man getting closer which makes possible for me to distinguish little things.

He's tall, fair skin and...his hair's blonde!

"Thor? Is that you?"

"Yes..." I feel his hand on my shoulder.

"What happened? my eyes! what's wrong wih them?"

"Calm down, as to your vision you only need to rest but as to what happened to you...I wish you'd tell me!"

"How did I get here?"

"For what I've heard a guard found you uncouncious on the floor in a corridor. What happened?"

"I don't really know, the shadows Thor! I saw the shadows! They moved! They seemed to swallow me!"

"Shh...relax" he said calmly.

"I want to get out of here"

"But you need to rest."

"I want to go to my room" I said determinately, interrupting him.

"Okay, okay but you know Odin's not gonna be happy about this."

"Does he already know?"

"Of course! It was my father who sent you here...for them to see what was happening to you."

"Don't worry, when I get better I'll talk to your father."

"Are you going to tell him what happened?"

"Yeah, and I need to find out more about me..." Thor nodded in confirmation. "I'll take you there later" he said.

"I want you to stay with me when I go talk to him" I say determinately and he nods in confirmation again. "Well...let's take you to your room" he said with a sigh "I'm going to carry you so don't be frightened." he said getting closer to me.

"You don't need to, I'm already a bit better..." I lie.

Thor grabs my hand and helps me getting up.

What an horror, each step I make I feel like I'm falling from an abyss.

The shadows.

"No!" I yell "Not again!" I scream terrified.

"Philippa? What's wrong?" I feel Thor shaking me.

"Get away from me!" I scream I start running.

The shadows are moving!

They're swallowing me! How dare they attack me? Me! I was made to rule them and they're attacking me!

Stop!

Stop!

And everything went black
