Chapter 324: Vision Gone Bad

ZINA

Zina slept to her bloody dreams which where usually without form but had suddenly taken a far more vivid form.

Her nightmare that only sort carnage without a defined face had the characters in play wearing defined features that was clear for her to see.

There was Daemon, Fionna, Yaren, Marcus, basically all the people she used to know fighting on one side. She too was on that side, but she was not fighting, she just stood still.

And then on the other side, there were the deformed, fighting alongside the red haired man whom she had never met but had learned to call the Red Wolf.

He too was not fighting... no he stood just like her without doing a thing, and they were both staring at each other.

Zina woke up that morning, sweating and panting while her hand remained glued to her belly which she had been caressing all night till sleep engulfed her.

Realizing it was just a dream she chanted under her frantic breath with her eyes shut, ’the dream doesn’t matter as much as the dreamer matters. The things I see can never hurt me unless I allow them to.’

She chanted it for like ten times before she finally opened her eyes, squinting under the harsh light that was streaming into her room.

On her bedside stool was an orange drink possessing a vibrant, alluring colour and a note.

’My Love,

...as promised, I came last night to see you. Although it could be said to be early morning when I came, but you were fast asleep, (as any bride should be). I didn’t want to disturb your sleep so here’s a healthy dose of sunshine for you to start your day with.

With Love,

From Your Love.

PS: I can’t wait to marry you already.

Zina broke in a grin at the endearment while burying her face in her laps and biting her lips. Before she could day dream any further, the door to her room opened and Narnia, one of her maidservants entered and bowed to her.

"If you do not mind Theta, I will help you start your day. Head Maid Seraph is yet to enter the the palace."

Zina jumped out of her bed a jittery mess. "It’s fine. I sent Seraph on an errand that will take her a while. She should be in in by midday."

The young maidservant nodded. "Shall we start with a dip in the bath tub. We can afford an hour soak as we’re on time," she rattled off from a sheet of palate that Zina would bet Seraph had prepared before she left for her thing the previous night.

Zina knew the maidservant had been working so hard under her. It might be about time she let her take some days off, although knowing Seraph, the young woman would cry and wail that Zina was unfairly letting her off her position.

Seraph simply didn’t know how to to distinguish between taking some time off, and being permanently let off.

Zina stripped off every single item on her body while she entered the hot wooden tub which was about the best feature of her room. To fill it required at least fifty buckets of hot water, so it made sense that she sparsely used it.

Maidservants lined up, bearing bowl filled with different flower herbs that raised Zina’s hackles in the wrong way.

Fearing that one of them might be harmful for her baby and at the same, not wanting to give away her pregnancy, she simply asked Narnia.

"Did Seraph approve of these herbs before she left yesterday night?"

Narnia nodded furtively, yet again, glancing at the paper that was in her hand. "Indeed, every single flower and herb you will be soaking with was personally approved by Head Maid Seraph. There’s chamomile, white rose, blue orchid, calendula and thyme. Do you want to change anything?"

Zina shook her head. Since Seraph had approved of it all, she was sure they would be fine. Besides, she had just a bit of feeling that she was overreacting.

So she pushed all her worries away and buried herself under the calming bubble of the bath. It was all going so fine until she mistakenly shut her eyes and she saw herself in the field filled with flowers.

But this time, everything flashed through her eyes fast. One moment, she was seeing flowers, another moment, she was seeing Seraph screaming, and next thing, she was seeing her mother being whipped while bound by chains that almost strangled the blood out of her body.

Zina’s eyes flew open and she gasped, her hand hovering over her heart.

What was that?

She kind of understood why she was seeing her mother, but Seraph was a different matter. Why was she screaming? And what was the place she was in?

Everything had flashed through her eyes so fast that she barely registered the scene... but one thing she registered quite well and she was sure of was the fact that Seraph wasn’t screaming out of joy... she was screaming out of pain.

"Narnia! Narnia!" Zina called and the young maidservant appeared.

"Theta, is there anything I can do for you?" She asked while bowing.

Zina was already stepping out of the tub despite telling herself that she should be calm and collected. It could be nothing... perhaps a momentary confusion. Or perhaps, her powers were malfunctioning.

"You saw Seraph last night?"

"Indeed. She left the Castle by midnight only after you had slept and she had put things in order. Thereafter she informed me of what to do before she left the castle on a carriage."

"Call Ablanch for me," Zina asked while she stepped into her day slip gown whose length swept the floor but still managed to hug her curves.

Two minutes later, Ablanch was in her room. "Theta." He greeted.

"Did you see Seraph when she left the Castle?" She asked the man.

"I did. I saw her out after all, is there a problem."

"None at all." Zina answered while mustering a weak smile, "but could you please inquire from the Capital Gate Patrol guards if they saw Seraph leave?"

"I will do that right away, Thera."

"Thank you."

Seraph must have made it to the outskirts of the city where the North Heralder resided. And there was no way she could have fallen into harms way seeing how capable the North Heralder was with fighting.

Her vision was a mere flunk. An error with her powers.

That was what Zina convinced herself of before she finally sat still and allowed the maidservants to wash her hair.
