Chapter 77: Real?

Dominic sighs, pulling me tightly to him and leans down. "I am afraid these dreams are."

"What?" I blurt out loud, covering my mouth as I glance over to the Council members. The three of them immediately turn their heads toward us, and I swallow as the room falls silent.

"Forgive me," I say apologetically in a much quieter tone.

The male sitting on the far right shifts slightly in his chair. "Are you certain Deumus is the name you heard?" he asks.

"Yes." I nod, watching them huddle together. Again, I can't make out what they're saying, but I can tell something is definitely happening. The atmosphere in the space around us is changing somehow, getting colder, and my ears begin to pop, first my right, then my left.

My eyes dart all around and then up to Dominic, confused. His forehead is knitted as he stares ahead at the council members, clearly deep in thought.

He feels it too.
