The Godslingers X: Chapter 7

Qadira's POV
I tried to feel sorry for Quent.

Instead, I finished up my kitchen duty, escaped the harpies' looks of loathing and ran joyfully, cackling insanely, to Hera's cabin. I am free, free, free for a few hours.

Sitting on my bed, I grabbed a mirror and looked at the peacock feather tattoo below my ear. I had a dream about Hera saying that if the peacock feather becomes golden, I can achieve Hera's blessing. Dad has it and the powers he had claimed were incredible.

I decided to take a little nap. I lay quietly on my bed and closed my eyes. After a few minutes, slumber took the best of me.

There was another dream. I was in a snowy cliff a thousand high up. Above me, the cliff rose thousands feet more.

"Asia isn't mine....." I heard a voice whisper.

"What now, my lady?" Another voice, male and very deep, answered.

"Well....." The voice paused as if thinking.

"Go outside Titus. Bring me the eavesdropping quarter-blood." The voice said quietly.

I gasped and began running, except time turned to jelly.

A man, perhaps he was Titus appeared and chased after me.

"Nadine will prevail!" He roared and gripped my hair.

My eyes opened, and I screamed in fear.

"What's wrong, Qadira?" Dad entered the room, worry in his eyes.

By instinct, I shook my head, my eyes bulging.
