The Dream of Future Part 2

---Prince Nicholas of Era---

I suddenly woke up. I don't know what time is. I reach her on my side but she's not there. I immediately sit up looking around my room. My eyes darted on her, wearing a red sleeping gown, her hair disheveled, standing back from me, looking out the window, her marks are exposed until to her spine. Those perfect curves of her, makes me want to cuddle her all day and night. Though it confuses me. As soon as I remember she's not wearing red.

"Love?" I called her but she didn't even look at me or responded. I slip off from bed, walking towards her. I embrace her from behind. She felt so hot like a heater. God, she felt good. I trace kisses on the crook of her neck, loving the heat from her body.

"Stop doing that." Her voice is sharp, still alluring, hotter. It is my first time hearing her in that tune. Her voice is the same but the way she talked with and the accent weren't her.

"Love, why do you sound strange?" I asked but she didn't answer. I kiss her again trying to peeve her.

After a long silence, of embracing her looking outside. I noticed that she's staring at the big bone fire on the west wing of the castle. They are having some bone-fire party there. That's what she's seeing. I look on her eyes on the reflection of the glass. It is color-red orange, like a fire. It was like she was mesmerized on the fire outside or she's burning in anger.

"What is it?" I asked her, twisting her to face me. She's burning up even her eyes.

"Don't touch me!" she screamed at me, her hands are burning, and she pushed me hard until I hit the ground and I felt pain, burning pain on my chest. I look up at her. She's not my Adhiti. She clenches her hands as the fire dies. She leans her forehead on her fist like she's suffering or crying.

"Adhiti?" I called her. She didn't respond. I stood gently scooping her other hand. It was really hot that makes my skin burn but I ignore it. I ignore all the pain. She needed me. She's feeling depressed, frustrated and I should be there for her. "Tell me, what's wrong?"

"There's no dragon left." Did she say it sharply, her accent sounds like Indian? "I will make suffer each of those who killed my dragons." She murmurs.

I don't understand her. There's no dragon left. How does she know that? How does she know that they killed her dragons? I am confused about her right now. She looked at me sharply, squeezing my hand. She started burning my hand from her hellish heat.

"A-adhi…"

"Even your people killed my dragons." She growled at me very deep. I take all the pain of her anger. She then stopped and her eyes changes in green. The pain doesn't matter to me when she collapsed, and I had pulled her to me.

"Adhiti?" I shook her but she's unconscious. I can feel her heart, palpating. I immediately carried her to our bed, checking her pulse. Her heartbeat is fast but slowly it is getting normal. Her temperature is getting normal too. I look up outside the window and look at the big fire.

I walk towards it, opening the window and I can hear their celebration. Lots of music, cheering, their happiness makes her mad. Dragons? She suddenly talked about dragons. Dragons never showed up for centuries. When the mother of the dragons was assassinated, dragons kept on decreasing. Until the dragon King appeared to rescue her.

I did not sleep since her sudden weird actions happen. She looked mad, devastated, pained… She rolled on the bed moaning as she sat up holding her head. She looked at me quizzically and I just understand that I had been watching her sleeping. She ran to me, holding my arm.

"What happened to your chest?" she asked. I winced when she touches the burn. "Where did you get this?" she also did not remember what happened last midnight.

"I am fine. You don't need to worry." I said softly.

"Where did you get this?" she insisted.

"I—" I couldn't tell her on what happened. She will blame herself and will go away from me because she will think that she's dangerous. "I was about to make a fire on the chimney and I accidentally throw the burning wood on me."

"Really?" she asked raising her eyebrow and she lifted my hand that has burns. "Okay, let's try this." She gently kissed my hand and blows it. A warm and cold sensation runs into my burns as it climbed all over my body and it all heals my burns. "Wow, that was quite fascinating." She murmured.

"Where did you learn that?"

"Since I have the affinity to all the elements, I try and try to heal wounds. I first try it on the plants."

"I see." I smile at her with twinkling eyes. I wrapped my arms around her. "Did you sleep well?"

"Not completely. I have this dream about the lady. She talked to me. She's mad and then, she burns everything. She's like a goddess… but I don't remember her face. Even, Aryanna's face." She shoved her face on my naked chest and complains. "Geez, I feel so exhausted."

"How about, I cook you my specialty soup, and then, we sleep, again?"

"Sounds, good to me."

"Go wash your face. I will kiss you a lot."

"Okay." She said in a childlike attitude and runs towards the bathroom. Then she ran out before I take a step. "Did you undress me? And put this too exposed gown?" she asked me. I smiled at how daring and exposed her sleeping dress. Very thin sleeve, showing her cleavage and molds her round full breast. Then it shows the back which shows all of her tattoos. She turned around and I saw how bright the tattoo of the dragon and as I remember, last time the dragon doesn't breathe fire but now it is breathing fire.

I walk towards the bathroom and turn her around. I touch her tattoo. The Kingdom of Pyr and above is the dragon. Things are getting complicated.

"What is it?" she asked me. I smiled and shook my head.

"I just love you."

She pouted with a creased brow.

"You know, just get out and cook your specialty. So, I can have lots of kisses." I kiss her shoulders and leave her be.

After I prepare the whole thing, she's still in the bedroom. I wonder what's she's doing. I was about to call her, and my eyes darted on the book over the reading table. It is either Adhiti or Almira who last read it. I walk towards the thick old book. It already makes me curious about it. The History of Ancient Pyr. I was about to open it when she shouts.

"Nicky!" she jumped over me, wrapped her arms around me and her legs around my waist. She's weightless so it is easy for me to keep my balance. She snuggled her nose on my neck. I hold her butt from my back as I walk back to the counter.

We got startled when the animals, that is my guarding around my house started going crazy. Like there's a danger from the upcoming horses. She immediately climbed down from my back.

"It's the Princess of Hydōr." She said with that tune again. "How does she know that you live here? Did you guys share a bed before?"

"Come on love. Right now, I don't know how she found my cabin. And right now, I need you back in the bedroom. I need to sort things out."

"And wear proper clothes." She headed back to the bedroom and come back again with my proper shirt. "Don't even try to bite on her beak." The horses whine outside. The squirrels close the windows like it is protecting Adhiti.

I got out and saw that it was Wendy. She smiles at me and runs to me. She was about to hug and kiss me. But I block myself and hold her shoulders and pushed her a little away from me.

"Princess Wendy." I bow a little. With a disappointment on her face, she looked around and forced a smile.

"I see that you live here alone." We stood there for a few seconds and she's confused that I am not inviting her inside. "Aren't you going to invite me in?"

It will be rude to me if I won't invite her. We all stop, even her servants when there's a vibrating growl behind us. My eyes widen when there's a big black werewolf, and behind him is his pack. They have all gathered around. I look at the window of my room. Adhiti.
