"Where are you going?" she asked abruptly as she jumped and held his hand like she used to do when she was a child.
When he used to leave her alone, she would hold his hands and though she never told him to stay, her every action did so.
When Alex looked at her, he felt that the childhood had returned but that was an empty dream. He knew it so he looked away.
"I am going to the Sonarise empire. We are going to free the prisoners and slaves and free the empire. After that… I will meet my grandmother and my other relatives." she trembled at the reply. She wanted to meet them too.
She had shared so many dreams with Cedric that she would visit them and spend a beautiful time with them. They were warm thoughts until blood started to stain them.
And now.. She did not know if she had the right to ask Alex to take her too. She opened her mouth a few times and closed it again feeling heavy in her chest.
