Fated Enemies

Chapter 39 - Dream of the Future

Alexa was sleeping with her head on the table, various books were opened on top of it, Edwin had gone to the kitchen to fetch them something to eat, once he arrived he found her like that, she seemed to be so tired, she was relentless when researching strategies and weaknesses in vampires or werewolves and even Lycans, she wanted to be sure that her plan would work and they wouldn't lose anyone, especially Edwin or the baby. She was trying so hard for everything to be all right that she didn't give herself time to rest, they had been on the journey for almost two weeks, more one to make the travel to Elatre and the. back here, after she was poisoned and they mated, both in human form and as a Lycan. She kept a strong face on her, but he just knew how ragged she was feeling.

Not wanting to wake her up, he picked her and she just snuggled on his arms, until he laid her on the bed, "Don't go" she asked in a sleepy voice.

"I'm not going anywhere, believe me, there is no place on earth I'd rather than right here by your side," Edwin whispered in her ear, she chuckled even with her eyes closed.

Edwin laid next to her, wrapping his arms on her, and he felt sleepy and laying his head on the pillow feeling the heat coming from Alexa he drifted off into sleep.

A plagued by dreams sleep where he saw a village, he walked through its streets and found humans, werewolves, and vampires living side by side, he walked uphill until he found the Castle, tiny arms came to his encounter, a girl with more or less twelve years, hugged him, "I'm so glad that your home dad." she let out in a melodic voice, strong voice. "Mom said that you were coming today, but I didn't believe it! How were things in Elatre? Is uncle Lucius behaving?"

Edwin was astonished by the resemblance of the young girl with Alexa, in her light blond hair, almost like a part of the moon, but her eyes were grey, just like his mother had, the mixed green was less than Alexa but still perceptible, her nose was just like his own, he couldn't believe that he was seeing their daughter when they only discovered a few days ago that Alexa was pregnant. "Yes, Lucius is behaving well. Wheres your mom?"

"In the Library researching ways to fight the dragons or to make peace with them. She feared for you when you left!" The young girl kept rumbling about.

"So let's go find her!" Edwin told his child, and she happily turned and get on the way of the Library, not waiting for Edwin to come behind her, he kept thinking about what she said, Dragons, what the hell is a dragon in what mess were they now.

They traveled the corridors and soon found out the Library, he could hear Alexa's voice arguing with Charles, "Mom! Mom! You were right! Dad came today!" the child laughed and played getting to her mother's side.

Alexa laughed, "I told you, Maya, I knew he would come today! Can you leave us for a moment, I need to speak to your father alone!" Alexa asked Maya, pointing to Charles she added, "You can go play with uncle Charles."

"Yes! Good!" She screamed, and turn to Charles who picked her up.

"Let's go see uncle Truman maybe he can teach us some moves!"

"Oh uncle Charles, you already know how to fight!" They heard the young woman tell the werewolf, as they left the library.

"You can ask whatever you want, just remember to say to me to expect you when our child makes twelve years and six months."

"You know?" Edwin asked.

"Yes, I know, you're currently sleeping in my arms, in Amora Castle, and you're dreaming, once you wake up you'll tell me everything you have dreamed of. I can't tell you how the battle ends with Rufus, this is only a possible future, I hope is this one that comes to pass. But when Maya turns five years we began having reports of sighting of dragons after we ended the Council, all magic that restrained these creatures disappeared, and they were left to roam the Realm again. We still haven't found anything on how to battle him, the Council predated the Werewolves and Vampires wars. Maya is the only one who seems to be able to communicate with them, but I will not put my daughter in danger and neither are you. You left for Elatre two weeks ago to find if Lucius had gathered anything amongst the oldest vampires and to find if he is behaving."

"What is a dragon?" Asked Edwin.

"It's a winged reptile that breaths fire, at least the ones we've encountered are. But we believe they are shifters, they have a human form too, but we couldn't found them in that form. Maya cant transform into one if that is what you're asking yourself."

"I'm sorry?" Alexa looked guilty when he worded that.

"I wasn't supposed to te you, but our daughter possesses the ability to take any form she desires, and she controls the fire."

"That's wonderful! She is so beautiful!"

"Yes, she is. But has been hard to raise her, especially after the dragons appeared everybody thought she could have caused them to appear. It was hard to appease the people and at the same time raise her well."

"I believe but as for what I see, we've been doing a great job, she seems utterly fantastic."

"Yea she is, your time is almost done, we are about to wake up. There's anything you wanted to ask me?"
.
"Do we still love each other?" Edwin asked her.

"Yes, with all of our being. It's hard to be separated from you. I hope we conquer victory in two days."

"Thank you, Alexa, I know we will! With you by my side, there's nothing we can't handle!"

A knocking sound sent Edwin right to his bed, Alexa awoke to, "Who is it?"

"It's me, Arya!" The voice on the other side of the door told.

"Come in!" Alexa ordered, leaving the bed.

Opening the door her frame came anto view. "I can help the workers to get the traps ready earlier and deadlier with some magic"

"And are you asking permission?" Alexa asked with an arched eyebrow.

"I had to, it might be people that fell less comfortable."

"It's to protect the kingdom, do as you must!" Alexa told her.

"Thak you, my Queen." Arya bowed and left the room.

"I have something to tell you." Edwin began when Arya left, as soon as Alexa was looking into his eyes he started telling her the dream he had.
