It came quite a shock to Ishit that he had been miraculously cured and had already come around almost a week ago.
What's more, he had lost his memory to the strange illness, which had kept him in a three-year-long slumber.
Then what was Illium?
A dream-as his father had put it while avoiding eye contact.
The Firewood forest, the Night mountain, the Tower of Vishnu, the Naga empire, the temple of Rudra, Princess Kia, cruel Kasma, and lady Nyx, whose waist-long hair had a rainbow hue-- were all his unfulfilled fantasies?
The frightening basilic serpent that welcomed him in the Osric Valley, and Vellu, the griffon rider, who rescued him from the deadly snare of the white serpent --all of them were his unconscious mind's creations?
When did his bloody mind become so imaginative? And why the hell did he have a fantasy of dying early and in so many uncanny ways? Ishit found it hard to buy his father's explanation.
