He Loved Me?!

The next morning I wake up and look around. "I can't believe I'm finally getting the peace and quiet I deserve! Dolion, isn't this fantastic?" I say, looking at Dolion with a huge smile.

Dolion slithers onto my bed post and hisses, "It isss my missstresss."

Suddenly I thought I heard yelling but it was just my ghosts taunting me, I watched the Ghost of King Daayamay out of the corner of my eye, he was staring at me sadly, as if he had something unspoken to say to me. I sighed and summoned the ghost in front of me, allowing him the ability to speak. "Speak now..."

"You said that you can tell when someone is lying, but I had said nothing. I was used to not showing my emotions around people after my father died. The truth is I did and still love you, I just didn't know how to show it, and because of that you believed that I did not love you, for that I am sorry." Daayamay said before he looked over his shoulder. "My brother is here... It appears he found the letters that I tried to get rid of that day..." He added looking back at me.

I gasped, shaking my head before saying, "Allow me to find a way to bring you back my love... I must first talk to your brother..." Daayamay nodded before fading out of my sight. I walked out of my room and bumped into Lukas.

"I was just coming to get you, Miss." he said, looking generally worried about me.

I smiled and continued walking downstairs. I then stood before King Anwir.

"You have returned so soon after our deal the other day. I was told that you have some letters that your brother wrote to me but never sent, correct?" I said, having heard Daayamay whisper those words in my ears a few moments before he faded into nothing before I began my descent down the stairs.

Anwir takes a step back and nods.

"He's scared of you, feed off his fear." The voice in my head whispered gleefully.

I tilted my head and said, "May I see them? I honestly feel bad for killing your brother but to be honest my own powers block some of the truth that stands before me, making me see or think of the world differently." Anwir hands the letters to Lukas who then hands the letters to me. I begin to read them and as I do I begin to cry. I drop the letters and fall to my knees, sobbing now. Daayamay's ghost appears and attempts to soothe my soul while Lukas soothes me in the real world.
