“Of course, I can’t go there anymore the disasters that came with the apocalypse brought the entire observatory tower down,” Siara said with a wry smile.
“What were they like?” she heard Dalis ask.
Siara blinked, “Pardon?” she asked in her rich noble accent.
“The stars,” Dalis said, “What did they look like from that tower?” he asked with his eyes lighting up.
Siara smiled and looked up, “The stars looked bigger,” she said with a shrug, “But there were all these other smaller stars that you can’t see when you look at the sky,” she quickly added.
“There was this one star that glowed with green light, and another that had several rings of different colours,” she explained with a dreamy look in her eyes as recalled those days.
Siara pointed to a certain part of the sky, “At night you’ll see the constellation of ‘Saldea’s Carriage’ that the goddess us

A/N: Hey readers, just wanted to apologise for dissapearing, the powerstation where I live blew up... so yeah I've basically had no power for over a week, and then we had a warning for power surges so I was hesitatnt to use my laptop until the matter was resolved.In anycase please continue reading and voting for my book.---Dalis woke up in the night, he could tell it was night by the glittering stars, that shone outside the window, his eyes drifted to the spots Siara had pointed to where he found the constellations she spoke off.He had to admit there was a vague resemblance to a carriage and an eye, he took his time before tearing his gaze away from the sky, he grabbed the note Siara had left him and climbed out of bed.Before leaving she told him to read it somewhere no one would be able see it, he mulled over the meaning of her words for a while and came to the conclusion that he was most likely being
Dreamer in the Apocalypse 039 – The One with the Preparations (1/3)
Two days quickly passed by as Dalis found himself stuck in the infirmary, his only guests for the past two days were Siara, and the nurse’s who occasionally came to check up on him and give him meals. The beginning of his meals often lead to the nurse’s fleeing from the room, with their face’s going red, and strangely no nurse returned twice. But Dalis didn’t pay it much attention, he didn’t know if he’d ever get used to how delicious the food was, but he figured that with time he’d be able to control his reaction. After being in the infirmary for five days, he was doing much better and Siara told him that he’d be free to leave starting that day. As soon as morning came he was up and moving, his room looked like it never had an occupant to begin with. He walked out of the infirmary and onto the sandy road, following the crowds, he kept his head down, and tried to keep of any one’s radars, the last thing he wanted was a repeat of the day he arrived. Dalis moved through the th

Siara pulled Dalis along until they arrived in a street where it wasn’t so noisy, “What were you planning on doing all alone?” she asked as they walked through the street. “I was just looking around, I went to see the bulletin board you mentioned, then I just wondered off, all of this is… just so different…” Dalis trailed off and looked at the shops that lined the street with a lost look in his eye. Siara smile sympathetically, “Things really have changed a lot since the Records came,” she said misunderstanding him, “But you’ll get used to it,” she said in an attempt to reassure him. “Any way, I was thinking that we could go out and you could show me around your old hiding spot today,” she said bringing up the topic casually. Dalis nodded, they had been planning this for days, “We can leave right now,” he said eager to get out and start levelling. Siara looked him up and down with an amused smirk, “Don’t be so hasty, it’s dangerous out there,” she said, “We’ll first have to get yo
Dreamer in the Apocalypse 041 – The One with the Preparations (3/3)
Dalis released a soft sigh, and looked at the sword, suddenly it didn’t feel as good in his hands, level 10 would take him a while to reach, but still it had been five years since the apocalypse, creatures over level 10 should be common. ‘But…’ Raylin quickly added, ‘Take a look at that sword on the wall,’ he said and Dalis quickly raised his head and let his gaze drift across the messy room until he finally saw the wall Raylin mentioned. There were several weapons hung on the wall, covered in a thin layer of dust, he noticed it earlier but didn’t think much of it. But as he stepped closer he could make out a set of lines engraved into the surface of the blades they even had an artistic touch to the way the lines were carved together. Dalis set the long sword down and climbed up a shelf, with his curiosity piqued, as he reached the top he found a dozen weapons with a similar design on the surface. He quickly grabbed a long sword he spotted and jumped down, he wiped away the layers
Dreamer in the Apocalypse 042 – The One with the Preparations (Final)
Dalis walked forward and curiously peeked over Siara’s shoulder at the short rod with a wonky spring coiled around it. “Is that the spring from your gauntlets?” he asked with his head hanging over her shoulder, he had a lasting impression about those gauntlets that allowed him to zip across the sky. Siara took a little step to the side when she noticed how close Dalis was, she cast him a strange glance and showed him the spring as she nodded in confirmation. Dalis took it from her hand and took a closer look at it giving it his full attention, he gave the damaged springs a few flicks, but in their damaged state, the spring didn’t even bounce. As he looked at it he kept mumbling a few formula’s to himself, and rotated the thing around, with every little prod he made, he was doing a dozen calculations in his head checking the width of the rod and the spring and the material it was made off. In the end he looked up at Siara with a strange gaze, while holding the broken spring, “How
Dreamer in the Apocalypse 043 – The One with the History (1/2)
A short while later Dalis left the Tower in a set of simple leather armour that Siara got for him, and Siara also retrieved her gauntlets, that covered most of her arm. Once they were ready they headed for the gates, it was the same as when they had arrived, dozens of trenches were dug into the ground, before and after the fences, bits of shrapnel and debris sat in the trenches like millions of little teeth waiting to devour their prey. Dalis could feel several unfriendly eyes land on him the moment he got within range of the guards at the gate, but he had nothing to worry about since Siara was with him, she even stepped in front of him in a protective manner. Dalis intended to enjoy the view of Siara from the back, but with her cloak wrapped around her, her curves were unfortunately hidden. ‘Humph,’ Dalis heard a soft snort inside his head, as they reached the gate, he wondered what Raylin meant by it, but he was distracted by the guards. “Open the gate,” Siara ordered as she ha

Siara paused as she bit on her lip with a thoughtful look in her eyes. “The 60-year war ended over 40 years ago, but after it ended the negative stigma of ‘mix-bloods’ remained,” Siara sighed. “At first ‘mix-bloods’ were perused, and their numbers dwindled, but not long after the concords between the united Conclave of Ozarah and the Imperial Empire of Saldea were reached,” “And Progress Island became the centre of the world in a way, it was to be the first nation where Ozarian’s and Saldean’s lived together,” “To cement the alliance my aunt Layla Selphira of the imperial family, and my uncle Sebastian Greyjoy were married and titled as the duke and duchess of The Chained Isle’s,” “Naturally such a union would breed more ‘mix-bloods’ and so it was up to my aunt and uncle to protect the rights of the mix-bloods and protect them from prosecution,” Siara explained. Dalis furrowed his brow, “They were unable to do it?!” he asked, but he could sense that there was a little more to the
Dreamer in the Apocalypse 045 – The One in District-16 (1/2)
District-16 was busier than Dalis expected, as he entered the rundown area, he spotted several other groups of people prowling the streets. The groups noticed as him and Siara as they combed through the empty streets, but they didn’t pay them much attention, they exchanged a simple nod of the head and moved on with their tasks. The two quickly made their way deeper into District-16, District-16 was the closest area to the stronghold, and currently their destination was the border area of District-16 and District-18, as they went in deeper there fewer and fewer people moving about. Dalis glanced at Siara’s gauntlets, “You going to swing around?” he asked and pointed at the buildings that were getting taller. “You won’t be able to keep up if I do that,” Siara replied with a cheeky grin. Dalis rolled his eyes and continued to lead the way through the streets, he started to slow down once they reached the deeper area, he came to abrupt halt and paused with a face full of concentratio
