Faint

Poor little heart!

Did they forget you ?

Memories will conquer you

and love will sublime within you .

Oh my poor little heart !

Someday someone will have you

and don't let love fade away?

someone will call you

but the feeling will be faint.

oh my poor little heart !

But he won't be there

And you will be hurt again.

Camelot! There you are. Welcome us. Your lady of shalot hath come. Lancelot hath finally reached to you. The river side won't be my grave. This time I will get to the other side, back to my world. My magical web, my golden mirror will help me.

"Dan! Camelot is so beautiful ".

" Anna, definitely. But you should be careful. People of this place are quite ungrateful and dangerous".

"Dan, what is that? That poster ".

" It's a deadly contest for swordsmen".

"Dan, let's enter it. You will definitely win ".

" Are you kidding me? It's deadly. This area is forbidden because of the gore and violence".

"Right, I understand that you scared. Aren't you, scaredy cat? "

" Yes, I love my life much."

"I love my life much too".

"Anna, you are a copycat".

"Copycat, seriously Dan? "

" I am not going to watch the game. "

" It's free, Dan. Let's go".

" You are a woman. Woman don't love blood shredding stuff. When they started to do so? "

" It's just a contest, Dan. It won't be dangerous".

"Anna, we don't have time for this".

"Please, Dan".

"Anna, don't force me. We are not going and that's it".

"Fine as you say".

I paused for a second and spoke, "Dan, listen why are people staring at us? "

" Because they think we are newlyweds".

He grinned at me.

"What a lame joke! Dan , tell me the truth".

Dan stopped and turned around to see a bull coming after us. Dan screamed, "Run, Anna. Run".

He caught me by my hand and we ran for our lives. There was a small pond nearby. We jumped into it. The bull was staring at us with rage. We float to the surface and Dan said, "Are you okay, Anna?"

I replied, "Yes, I am. Dan, we should swim to the farther side".

We swam to the corner. The bull went away in search of another victim. There was a castle similar to the one I saw in my dreamworld.

I exclaimed, "Dan, I think I know this place".

"Really, Anna. You do. "

" Remember I told you about a dream that I had ".

" The one with a woman resembling your mother, yes go on".

"This Castle is the exact replica of the one I saw in my dream".

"You are a mystic dragon, Anna. This Castle belong to the legendary Queen of mystic dragons. "

" This must a sign or something. "

" It can be. Anna, let's go. I have a special pass to go inside the castle ".

" A special pass! "

" I am the pass, Anna. I am a prince ".

" Then why did you dress up like a normal human and came to this place, Dan? "

" Anna, nobody should know about you and moreover, people would gather around to question me for my actions ".

" Understood, Dan ".

The gate of the castle was huge and properly engraved. The guard checked us and they bow down to Dan. Dan whispered in their ears, " Don't let anyone know about it".

They gave me a sweet nod.

We entered the gate. The castle was splendid. There were cravings of dragons and yielders fighting with each other. We were in the hall. The painting were hung. There were of beautiful Princes and Princess. I assumed. There were antiques everywhere. Dan unlocked the door of a room. I jumped onto the bed with my wet clothes. Dan screeched, "No, not with your wet clothes Anna".

I sat on the bed with my legs folded. I gave me a deadly stare. He sighed. He went to use the bathroom. The shower was on.

I knocked at the door.

Dan said, "Yes, Anna. What do you want now?"

"Dan, should I join you in the shower? "

" Are you sure? Anna".

I wasn't expecting that answer. I thought that he was the shy type. I was just joking around with him. I turned around and someone caught me from behind and dragged him inside the bathroom. Dan was smiling at me. He said, "So, you want to share a shower. Huh?"

My jaw dropped in awe. What he was thinking exactly? That was a simple joke. Jokes don't get to him. Perhaps.

I was looking straight into his eyes. I didn't dare to pull my gaze a slight lower to check him out.

"Don't you dare challenge me, Dan? "

He grinned again. And said," By the way, dear copycat. I am done".

He walked past me. I never thought to explore this side of him. The bad boy kind of side. He brushed his fingers through his hair and closed the door behind me leaving me on my own.

I was standing under the shower. The warm water was soothing my senses. After sometime, I finished and wrapped a towel around myself. I pepped through the half opened door of the bathroom. Dan was not there. I walked inside the room bravely. I was searching for some new clothes. I found a red knee length dress. I was rubbing my hair against the towel as I stood in front of the mirror. I was busy admiring myself. I looked adorable in that dress. I wish someone would praise me. I would love to hear them. Romeo and Juliet, I was feeling the play so much more right now. I and Dan were alone in this Castle. How thrilling! I thought of exploring this huge Castle. I sneak into the hallway. I was wondering about the reviere. Was it really some kind of vision? A signal to me that I am a mystic dragon. It was real. Wasn't it?

I saw a door. I removed the dust off it and pushed it a little till it opened. There were velvet curtains. There was an emblem of dragon. I walked near to it. I touched it. Suddenly, the magic began. It somehow sublime and there was a portal. I drive my hand into it. I was pulled within. I stood there in front of a red-haired woman who resembled my mother.

She smiled and glanced at me. She spoke, "Oh my dear daughter, Anna".

She spread her arms wide to embrace me. A tight hug. I was speechless. She spoke again, "Anna, I am your mother".

"Mom, you are real and alive".

"What do you mean by that? Anna, you are in the past right now".

"What? So, Mom are you are a mystic dragon? "

" Yes, I am. Anna, this is a magical Web that I sew for you to know some secrets about us".

"Secrets, Mom! "

" I am the heir to the legendary one. She didn't die that day. My dear, she escaped her death and took human form to live in the earth among mortals. She rescued her baby along with her. Her baby name was Faith. "

" Mom, you are replica of grandma".

"Yeah, I look a lot like her, dear. I knew that someday you will discover your destiny. Protect our secret. You will meet your mate when you will come of age. Don't let him die otherwise you shall be doomed. The yielders would come after you. Live among the mortals, do not return to this world. It could be a trap to slay you and end our lineage. On the red moon night, we will be born again. According to the prophecy, the child will yield the sword of justice and restore the righteous. And you are the... "

" Yeah, Mom I am the... "

" Child of prophecy, dear. Your fate will decide our fate. We are locked in the unknown. A dark black magic seal has caged us. You can only free us, Anna. When the time comes, be the beacon of light. Be an angel in disguise. Be a knight ".

" Mom, but how can help you? "

" When the time come, you shall know. Now, the time hasn't arrived, my sweetheart."

"Mom, I won't be able to take this forth. I am weak and a loser".

She touched my cheek. She smiled. She whispered, "He will be your strength, dear. He shall be your guardian of fate".

"Mom, who are you talking about? "

" Your.... "

" Mom! Mom ! Speak up ".

The magical web vanished into the filthy air. Someone touched my shoulder. I gulped the lump in my throat in fear. I saw Dan staring at me with confusion. I spoke," Dan, it's you. You scared me".

"You seem stressed. Having nightmares in the day light . Anna, are you alright? "

" Dan, I am alright ".

" Then, let's eat. I cooked something delicious for you".

"Really, a prince knows how to cook".

"He does know a lot of things, Anna. I have a lot of hobbies".

"Hobbies? Like... "

" Sewing, knitting, cooking, writing, Reading and many others".

"You are an amazing guy. Your beloved will be the luckiest ".

" But alas! I am stuck with you".

"Stuck with me, I am not that awful, Dan".

"Awful , you are a worst troublemaker I have ever known".

" Troubles often get to me and I don't gladly invite them".

"Yes, you do. "

" Shut up, Mr know it all ".

" Copycat Anna is growling at me. Ouch, that hurts".

I whacked him with my elbow on his stomach.

"I am hungry, Dan".

"We are about to reach the kitchen, Anna".

"Food! It smells damn good".

"Let me serve you. Now, go ahead".

I took a spoon and dipped it in the bowl. It was heavenly delicious. It reminded me of my mother's homemade food. Mom, what did you mean by me being the child of prophecy? Mom, I am just ordinary and trivial in front of the legendary one.

Dan, I wish I could tell you but this is something I was trusted upon by my beloved mother. A secret. The Forbidden truth. I laughed and finished my meal. I kept wondering how to digest the truth. I was just wondering......
