Land of Dreams

Imprisoned in the dark

Dark. Dark. Darkness. Nothing more and nothing less. Just this and that.

Suddenly my eyes opened. Light room and me, half sitting on the soft couch. No one was in this room, just me. I couldn't see clear throughout my eyes, I felt weaker, somehow.
I was in a library. Huge, the bookshelves were so tall they even reached a sealing. There was a balcony on my right side. Not the one that I have entered the house, but different. From it you could see the mountains and the whole world beyond them.
A noise. It was coming throughout that double black door on my left. It was getting closer and closer. The footsteps. One pair, I guess. Doors opened and in between them stood a young man with a small grin in his face. He's skin tone was like golden honey, his hair was the darkest shade of black, and eyes. I have never seen eyes this color. They were so deep blue that you could mistaken them with black. But something was in his eyes. Those white sparkles were like stars in the night sky.

"Done admiring the view?" He said, as he quickly sat down on a dark couch across me. The foolish grin was still there. Bastard.
"Oh really? Didn't know that?" He's smile grew even bigger as he said that. "How,... I didn't say anything..." I was speechless. Did he read my mind? "Yes, I did." He said. And I fell silent.
He started at me. Scanned me up and down. "You look slim. You need to eat." And in front of me on the coffee table appeared a bowl of soup. Looked delicious and probably tasted delicious. I looked at him and did nothing. I was told not to eat the food if I would be captive. The King said it was pure poison that would tell him all the plans. "Don't worry, this food is safe for eating." I looked at soup, then at him and grabbed the bowl, then smelled. Smelled like home from the memories, now. I tasted it, nothing. Then started eating. He watched me as I finished and put the now empty bowl on the coffee table.
"Tell me, did the other lords send you?" He asked calmly and politely. "If you can read minds, why don't you do that now?" I said probably too silently. "I can, but it's not polite to do that to a young lady like you." That smile appeared again. "Do I look like a lady to you?" I said louder this time. I was still in my spying clothes, sweaty and dirty. He noticed that too from the silence between us. "You need to shower and change into something... less dirty." He looked into my eyes. The white sparkles started to glow now. "Follow me." That was an order.

We walked throughout halls and stares. We were silent. Until he stopped near the black wooden door. "This is your room, for now. Wash yourself up and get some rest. I will come in the morning." And he disappeared in a thin air.
The room was clean and cozy. A big bed for two, a normal size bathroom and a balcony. Small but the view was stunning. Even hypnotizing.
I washed myself. Warm water. Here was warm water, not like in the Kings palace. I walked to the bedroom, there were clothes laid on the bed. Probably appeared too.
The black and silky night gown. Soft and clean.
I changed and jumped into the bed.
Warm. I closed my eyes and dreamed.
I dreamed.
