Chapter 4
This morning was the seventh day of the spring season. Vladis used to love the spring season.
One week had pa.s.sed since Arthur interrogated Vladella and things were finally settling for them. He was wondering what kind of spell did this wizard used this time.
Today Vladis was grinning and smiling very brightly afterall he finally got a chance to bug this icy lord.He can't afford to waste this once in a lifetime opportunity and with that he started to follow Arthur everywhere. It was noontime and Arthur was seriously p.i.s.sed off with Vladis.He was a lazy and quiet person and didn't like to be bothered. He was giving killer glares to Vladis but Vladis was far, far away from care.
Inside a lavish study room which was decorated with woods and antique furniture, a handsome man was sitting behind a wooden desk. He had a quill in one hand and the other was holding some official papers with a signature lazy smile hung on his face. Vladis was standing in front of a lamp and a.s.s usual Chesire was laying beside the window.
Care to explain Lord!
What did you dream of?What made you angry when I knocked on the door?
Tell us!Tell us! you know we are your best ally, we won't sell you out. Trust us, Chesire also piped in.
Arthur had enough of them and finally he made his mind to tell them, after all it was a messy condition for him too. He was also curious about his dreams and the blessings c.r.a.p.
Chesire tell him about blue moon blessings, the Lord finally spoke.
What the h.e.l.l,why I am supposed to tell.Can't you explain yourself.
It seems like a certain cat is becoming fat day by day. I need to reduce his diet intake, Vladis inform the kitchen staff to not give him fishes for a month and yes a.s.sign three infiltrations and information gathering tasks for him.
Hey you, kitty be aware that you only have three months to complete this task otherwise you can forget about meat and fishes for an entire year.
Chesire was devastated while hearing order. It was the same as being hungry if he was not given any meat. He was sure that his master was punis.h.i.+ng him for running his mouth open to Vladis. He immediately spoke,"forgive me master for my sins.you know how much i like fishes from the ponds "
Vladis immediately chimed,"your master is going easy on your kitty,after all he has given you three months for your task completion. Best of luck!Vladis winked at him.
They both knew Arthur was a
got hit from his lord's anger.
So about midnight blessings,it all started a few months ago when that old man,Morsee came to us telling about the blue moon and its blessings and with that our lord intended to have those blessings and finally in the name of blessings he got a silver bracelet and from then onwards he started having dreams frequently and for the dreams, you have to ask him,Chesire explained everything in a huff.
Vladis was shocked to his core with the turn of events. Never in his entire lifetime he would have imagined that Arthur would seek blue moon's blessing. For G.o.d sake's he was the strongest wizard in the entire wizardry province. If anyone dared to give him the c.r.a.p that Arthur sought the blessings for the riches or women then he would smash that person. Who in the name of G.o.d they are talking about, The Great Wizard Arthur Ewans, sole heir of Reinstle empire. What kind of wealth and women he hasn't seen. He was baffled and wanted an explanation from Arthur on this matter.
EXPLAIN! Vladis said solemnly.
There is nothing much to explain,It's just that I was bored and wanted to do something interesting.
I was bored beyond the boredom, so I sought the blessings.
My dear lord you know there is nothing sort of free lunch in the world. Everything has a price, and we need to pay for it. What did you trade with Blue moon?
The power to see the future, Arthur explained like it was nothing big.
Vladis had a minor heart attack,if not for the table lamb behind him which he was holding for the support he might have fainted after listening all this. He was the only Wizard who could use his spells to see the future of anyone including himself. Wow great now he lost the power just because he was bored. He never imagined his lord to be this silly.
What about dreams? Vladis finally asked the hot question of the day.
Arthur remained expressionless but his diluting pupils betrayed him. Vladis and Chesire were observing his every emotion and surely they didn't missed those reactions.After taking his sweet time he finally opened his mouth and dropped another bomb on them.
"I dreamt about a girl"
And,Vladis inquired.
Since the time I received those blessings and lost my power to see the future, I have been seeing a particular girl in my dreams. Well, you can't say that I have seen her. It's like I can hear her in my dreams. I can only hear her not see her. In the dream, the girl generally talks with other people and talk about everything and the dream is always blurry, the scene is always surrounded by mist,I can never see anything in the dream. I am always listening to her daily talks. It's frustrating and added with midnight blessings I am having a hunch that it is not a good sign.
So you finally are regretting it.Vladis spoked sarcastically.
Not at all. You know I never regret what I do and moreover all these seems so interesting Arthur spoke with a lazy smile.
Vladis had enough of all these c.r.a.p and wanted a breather otherwise he would pounce on Arthur for his stupidity and with that he left Arthur's study. As if sensing something amiss the cat also briskly left the study.
Arthur remained on his seat wondering about his dreams, more specifically about the girl who comes in his dreams. He was not sure what to believe and what not to believe.In the end you can't completely believe in the dreams but there was a nagging feeling in his heart that soon his life is going to change and he was actually thrilled for it. How many years has it been since he gained an interest in something. He was actually a smart boy and had an exceptional talent so he used to be bored with everything. The things in which he ever got interested were a handful and can be counted in the fingers of his one hand. It was a feeling he can't explain. It was like she was someone whom he but was not able to recall her. More likely it was as if he had heard those giggles and laughter.
"Hide till you can, my darling. very soon i am going to trap you in my magic".Arthur grinned.
He didn't notice it but there was a yeraning in his tone.
