Gray Eyes Like the Galaxy

Elaia packed some clothes, shoes that were suited for hiking, and other necessities. She was told that they will visit the Grand Canyon Village because Arthur Jacobos was said to reside there according to the article that Doctor Arion have presented to her earlier.

It was already nine in the evening that she decided to freshen up so that she can go to sleep.

As she walked into the bathroom, she started to undress. She frowned because there were scars appearing on her back that wasn't there this morning.

She sighed and started showering.

After fifteen minutes she was done taking a shower and dressed into her night gown. She didn't even turn on the heater at her house because she started to feel like burning the moment she stepped out of the bathroom.

Well, another hellish night for her.

But the thought of going to Arizona and finding a cure gives her hope that one day all this burning sensation, all this scars and bruises, and the nauseous feeling will go away. She just need to be patient. She already waited for two years, a little more time of waiting is not so bad.

With all the thoughts inside her head and after three hours had passed, she fall into slumber.

The dream she was currently in is quite familiar. She's in a room with a piano. The only difference is that she didn't see any signs of the man who were playing it before.

She roamed around the room. She saw some picture frames that were hanging on the wall. The first picture shows two person but she couldn't figure out who were they because she can see in the picture were their backs. The man placed his arms on the woman's shoulder.

Even if she can't see their faces, she can feel the love emanating from this picture. It made Elaia smile. How cute. Even a small gesture is already sweet.

She was about to look at the second picture when she heard a man's voice said, "Like what you see?"

Elaia turn around to face the man who distracted her from viewing the pictures.

She couldn't see the man's face because he was hidden on the dark part of the room.

She shrugged and turned her attention to the second picture. What she saw was a picture of a man wearing black but the face wasn't visible because of some dust covering it.

She reached out in the picture to remove the dust from covering the man's face. She was intrigued because the physique of the man in the picture already emanates dominance and power, so she wants to see what the man looks like.

As she gently removed some dust, it first shows the man's eyes. They were gray. A very familiar kind of gray. Eyes that were like the galaxy.

She was about to uncover the remaining parts of the picture that were covered in dust, but she woke up.

Panting. Beads of sweat were running from her forehead.

Who was that man in the picture? Gray eyes. Gray eyes like the galaxy.

She started mumbling, "Gray eyes. Galaxy. Physique that emanates dominance." Then it's as if everything around her stopped working when a thought finally clicked inside her head.

"D?"
