“ My light, come to me when the world is fenced in sleep.
Together we will dream as one. Until our dream comes true.
And change the course of history.”

‘ The words disappeared between the pages. Each sentence of the “Dream Chronicle” led me on. Almost as if the letters themselves dreamed of what was yet to come. I lay on our bed, wrapped in the warmth of the candles and Yara’s steady breathing. She was sitting on the windowsill, looking down at the city from above. She loved doing this. Watching the fog of dreams drift across the streets.

But this moment could not last forever. Her soft, uncertain voice broke the silence.

“Nox there is something I must tell you.”

I slowly closed the book and placed it next to me on the bed. My attention was focused only on her, my Yara, my light.

My footsteps filled the entire space. The clatter of porcelain on stone. I hugged her. Without a moment’s hesitation, she snuggled into my chest.

“What is this, Yara?”
7Please respect copyright.PENANArk0luLbrSd
When she looked into my eyes, I felt my heart stop beating for a moment.

“You know, I’ve been thinking about the future of our city lately. About what will happen to it when the time comes to move on.”

“My dear Vire’mor will continue to exist, even when we are far away.”
Then I kissed her cheek. Yara sighed.
I understood her worries. We had talked about it earlier. But then she said something more.
7Please respect copyright.PENANACDsmATjc7j
“Nox, I… want a child… with you. The heir to the throne of Vire’mor.”
7Please respect copyright.PENANA9z2jkUOQXs
My shoulders tensed, not from fear. But from desire. The world around me seemed to cease to exist except for me and Yara. These words crumbled the walls I had created as the god of nightmares.

“A child?” I whispered, knowing full well that there would be no turning after that question.

I felt her delicate hands cup my cheeks.

And after a moment, my trembling, uncertain hands slowly rested on her stomach.

“Yara… Are you… Are you sure this is what you want?”
7Please respect copyright.PENANAkTugvOueYC
Yara just nodded.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAtQWgEs1n0R
“This is something I desire very much, the successor of Vire’mor and our shared little dream.”
7Please respect copyright.PENANAchwzKCxMi6
Despite the pain of the cracking porcelain against my lips, I smiled as I touched her cheek with my fingertips.
7Please respect copyright.PENANAqqpPesnYC6
“If this is your desire, then this is mine… Geez, I never thought that…”

“Sst… Say nothing more.” She said with a defiant smile as her finger gently stroked my lips.

“Tonight, I will not speak anymore. Play as you wish, after all I'm a doll.”
