Nightmare

Another day spent in the library, reading her favorite book: Grim's Children's Tales. Her father used to read it to her when she couldn't sleep, to soothe her mind. Now, she was using it to calm her nerves after Kuron's strange reaction. But no matter how hard she tried to distract herself, she couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.

Kuron might be hiding something. The once warm and loyal knight suddenly felt distant, all because of a single odd look.

Maybe I'm just overthinking it?

Theia tried to ease her mind. Kuron had been in the house since she could remember, always by her father's side, carrying out his every command. If there was something shady happening, why would Kuron be involved now?

It's not possible, she told herself.

She didn't want it to be possible.
