"Galio? Is there something wrong?" Listenia asked as she turned over in bed to find me sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Just a dream. Left me feeling empty," I said as I looked down at my hands. I could still see the blood on them.
The dream had ended there, but I knew the rest of the story. I remembered screaming out with her lifeless body in my arms. The Guides gave me what I asked for, and in the end, fate had its way just like my mother had intended. She forced this fate on me.
"You seem to have a lot of unsettling dreams," Listenia said as she came over behind me and kissed the back of my neck while putting her arms around me.
"Dreams are windows to past lives, and my past is much longer than just five hundred lifetimes," I said, leaning back and turning my head to kiss her.
