I woke up, out of breath and panting. The memory of my dream was still fresh in my mind. I glanced at my trembling hands, then sighed. I couldn't shake the feeling of Mother being disappointed in me, just after I lost that duel against Aoife.
"Damn it…" I mumbled as I pushed myself up to a sitting position and pushed my loose hair away from my face. "I hate this." Those were memories I didn't want to remember right now. Especially not after a crushing defeat against Fetheion.
I sat like that for a bit, then jumped off the bed and walked out of my room. I didn't feel like sleeping anymore. I didn't want to lose myself in other dreams or nightmares.
As I walked to the entrance, a familiar voice sounded.
"Kai?" Fetheion asked as he stepped out of the library, a pile of parchments in hand. "What are you doing up so early?"
I shrugged. "I just woke up, bad dreams. What time is it?"
