“Time to wake now, Keira.” I heard his voice but sleep still lingered on and wasn’t in any rush to give up power over my mind just yet.

“Just a few more minutes.” I moaned trying to roll over but something wouldn’t let me.

“But it is time,” he told me and after having more time to focus, I knew now that it was Draven’s voice.

“Time?” I questioned still unable to fully open my eyes. And then logic started to slowly seep its way into my consciousness. I had fallen asleep in the King’s arms but the man who spoke to me now wasn’t the Draven I had travelled back in time to find, it came from the Draven I had left behind.

“You said my name,” I whispered as it slowly dawned on me and upon opening my eyes I found I was right. I was back.

“Draven!” I shouted his name and threw my arms around him.

“Hush now,” he told me holding my head to his chest and it was only when he said this that I realised that I was sobbing. I just couldn’t help it. The emotions were overwhelming and without giving it a second thought as to how I had made it back, all I cared for in that moment was that I had.

This wasn’t Afterlife.

“What is this place?” I asked looking back at Draven to see him staring straight past me and out of the glass doors ahead.

“Much has changed since you left,” he told me and I followed his steady gaze around to see what he saw.

“Persia.” I could barely believe what I saw let alone what I spoke of. For there all ablaze was the city that not so long ago I had found such pleasure in beholding.

“But it can’t be…I…I must be dreaming?” I said shifting off the bottom of the bed to get closer, needing to see what trickery the glass must be portraying. I stepped up to the glass and tentatively touched it needing only my fingertips to open it. The glass slid open and the smell of smoke and fire burned my nostrils along with my lungs as I breathed in not only the scent of destruction but also the scent of death.
