Lily got to her room and lay down on the bed . She was exhausted , her eyelids were heavy and she wanted to sleep . Just then , Rian walked in.
" How was your day, wifey? " he asked
" Was good " she replied sleepily
" I heard you hit the bull's eye at your first try ". Rian praised and at that moment, she no longer felt sleepy..
" I did, princess Elma doubted me, but I did good, didn't I? " she asked smiling and Rian also smiled. She was like a kid who was awarded with her favourite treat.
" Yes, you did. I'm proud of you " Rian sat next to her on the bed
" Oh " she suddenly remembered " Zia couldn't shoot it too, she's not advancing to the next stage "
" Why all of a sudden are talking about Zia? " Rian asked smiling, she was jealous and Rian could sense it.
" She's your friend, isn't she ? " she asked rolling her eyes
" And you're my wife, aren't you? " Rian asked and a small smile crept its way up her face.
" You've been busy lately, I hardly see you. Is there something in particular you're doing? " Lily asked
" Do you miss me that much wifey? " Rian asked looking directly into her eyes, he knew she was coming closer to him even without her knowing it.
" No " her eyes widened " We practically got married yesterday "
" I know, but it feels like it has been ages " Rian answered and made for the door
" Are you going somewhere? " Lily asked
" To get some air "
" Can I tag along? "
" Let's go then " he answered grabbing his coat .
" Why do you like walking at night so much? " Lily asked when they were on top of the horse, she was seated behind him and her arms securely wrapped around his waist.
" The serenity, the quietness and the peace it brings " Ryan answered and Lily nodded
" You mentioned the last time that you guys were the guardians, If I may ask, what exactly do you guys guard ? "
" Lives, people and Scimitar "
" Scimitar? What is that? "
" The ancient cave protected by mordekainan seal, the cave houses the dead army. If anyone were to temper with it and bring them back, it would be chaos " the words Rian spoke rung a bell, her dream, she had dreamt about the dead army then a crazy woman fought her.
" Can you tell me more about this dead army? What is ancient Kai? " Lily asked and Rian stopped the horse abruptly
" Where did you hear about that? "
" I happened to hear it " she lied
" Don't lie to me "
" Okay, I had a dream " Lily confessed, it has been bugging her for some time and telling someone about it would relieve her of some stress
" What dream Lily?"
" It sounds crazy. After the time we had dinner with lady Zia and I angrily went out , I found myself roaming the castle halls. I came across a room , it had ancient markings . A flame from nowhere lit up the markings and it read ' ancient Kai ' . I walked in and found an altar, the same strange markings were on it and when it became clear it read ' an army of the dead shall rise up ' "Lily paused to look at Rian, his eyes were serious and he was listening intently to her story. Lily knew there was more to what happened, but she really had no idea .
" And then?, what happened next? "
" I saw myself in a field, an old lady walked to me, she said that I had finally found myself here and all of a sudden she became this young woman with white hair and very light blue eyes "
" Light blue eyes, white hair " he muttered to himself
" Is there something more to it? " she asked scared " She also stabbed me, is there any meaning to it? " she was startled at this point, Rian got off the horse and helped her down too, he held her in his arms and pat her back reassuringly
" It's okay, nothing's going to happen when I'm here "
