Screams in the night
Dawnsmile jerked and the bottle of ink fell..spread its black ink rapidly over her paper and notes..She cursed but ran towards the bed.. Ystra lied underneath the thin satin sheet but nothing in this picture suggested she was resting. Her back arched in a wide curve of the bed..her sweaty hair spread all over the pillow and down over the edges of the bed..Her hands gripping the sheets hard..white of cramp..And she was screaming.. a high pitched animal scream of fear and anxiety..
"Ystra! Ystra wake UP!" Dawnsmile hesitated and gave Ystra some light clatches on her cheeks..Ystra opened up her eyes ..they were filled with large tears that run down her cheeks..With a soar voice of the screaming she spoke:
"Please..Please..Im so..I just did it...to get rid of the arcane...I want the law..Whats best for the Kaldorei..the want to MURDER him! They MURDERED ME! That ..that..BEEFY! He just looked me in my eyes...seeing the swords pierce my body....eating his DAMN STEW!" Dawnsmile jerked back startled by Ystras screams and fury..She had never seen her like this..She sent a quick prayer to the Godess that Terathionwould come back soon..He was the only one who could properly calm her down and she started to fear Ystras sanity..She had been so buried in these books about laws and tradition..and now.. They seemed to throw her out. As Dawnsmile could see it it was purley due to fear of loosing power. Ystra had challenged the system of the powerfull punishing and executing as they saw fit ..Pointing out its weaknesses and cruelty. She had even drained herself of the arcane in her blood.. But nothing seemed good enough for those people that claimed to represent the law..They even had tried to kill Dawnsmile herself..Kill her for taking notes and asking questions and taking snaps on those who was attending in sentencing the mage ..
Ystra! Calm DOWN! Remember you are pregnant again! Dont do this again..You lost the last cubs due to stress and pain."
Ystra forced her body to relax slightly and her back finally touched the shimmering green satin sheet. She smiled weakly up at Dawnsmile..Her eyes still running with tears and showing the tiredness that was slowly creeping into her bones. "Did you know what he said..That ..a soldier needs his break..Watching me and the Oveseer fight for his town..saying "I thought they would last longer" Even out of his armour.. The Kaldoreis that died in the wars..I could hear them howl in their grave for that statement.. He thinks war takes breaks..for food? An THEN HE LET A MAGE OPEN UP A PORTAL TO STORMWIND WITHOUT RAISING AN EYEBROW OF ANGER! He let a pregnant woman and a "old man" fight his war..And..Im proud to say..We dident hesitate for a second to fight the invading hordes."
Dawnsmile frowned deeply and touched Ystras forehead and watched her emidiatly drift off to sleep..forced by Dawnsmiles powers. She took a cloth from the bowl of cold water on the beadstead and wiped the sweat of Ystras body before tucking her in again.. She threw some logs on the fire and the big room lit up more.. The piles of books making strange shapes all along the walls looking like ancient monsters. She sighed and watched the snaps she had taken earlier that night and what had happend..She understood Ystras fear. They had tried to kill her also becaüse she was simply writing down what they said. Where WAS the justice in that, they were trying to hide what they were doing..that much was sure.. Captain Laythe had even urged the shooter on to kill her.. She tried to rescue some of her written notes from the ink but gave up. It could wait to tomorrow. Behind her Ystra moaned in her sleep.."Save..Save Dalar..I ..I wont accept this. It was my fault..save ..save..save Da..l"
Dawnsmile went to the window and looked up at the moon and started to pray..For Ystra..and for Terathion to come back. "Godess..dont let anything happen to either of them..The Kaldorei needs her..More then ever.."Godess here my pray. I do not understand these Kaldoreis. She seeks peace..Speaking for those without voices..Is there anything nobler? Goddess of my heart and people..How can you let this happen?You are worshipped for you unconditional love you gives to all creatures regardless of their beliefs or actions. She might be a highborne but fights her blood. Never used the power in her whole life..And for this she is punished.. GODESS? DO YOU HEAR ME? Save her..We need her..She seems to be your brightest shining star of us all.. Save the Kaldorei..We are indeed failing children of the stars..
