《Grasping》Chapter 27: Dreams

" So! What domain do you want?"
Magnus stared into the demigoddess' eyes as he asked this question. It was an experiment to see if Rory's eyes would sift through scenes throughout her life. He highly doubted that the scenes in a divinity's eyes are memories from the diety's life. However, those scenes had to have come from somewhere... The scene in his own eyes was unknown to him. He had only ever seen the creation and destruction of universes in online videos back in his first life.
The girl's eyes showed scenes of death, then loving relationships. A moment later, the scenes in her eyes flickered through many other concepts. There was primarily love and death. However, throughout the 5 seconds that she thought of what she wanted as her domain, scenes of seven other concepts flashed by. Finally, her eyes settled on the scene of love. The same scene that keeps flickering in her eyes. A scene of her interacting with people who looked like friends and family.
" I would pick th-"
" So, love huh. Parental love and friendship. You are really different from me."
Magnus sighed and got up. He offered a hand to the demigoddess and she accepted. Pulling her up into a standing position, the god let the bench he had created disintegrate.
" I will offer you some advice. Don't go making relationships with people willy nilly. Make sure that you will eventually be able to keep them with you. If not, your domain will quickly lose meaning to you. Love and relationships are very fickle concepts, after all, there are many types of love. The love that you want. It is not compatible with being able to live forever. So, find a way! You got this."
Magnus patted her on the back and created a picture. It displayed the scene of love that he had seen in the girl's eyes.

" This scene, have you ever seen this scene?"
Rory took the picture and began to tear up.
" This was a dream of mine. One that I had forgotten."
" Dreams, huh..."
Magnus stared at the city and began planning.
" Rory, see you around. I will most likely be staying in this world for about 1000 years, so we will definitely see each other again."
He patted her on the back once more and started walking to the city.

The Solstice Wars
In the grey-cloaked cityscape of modern London, student William Whiteswift has two secrets: the Fae walk among humanity, and they are just as vulnerable as us. His childhood was filled with them; they spawned nightmares and episodes, dreams and obsessions. The nightmares remain, of course, but the fae are his normal. Now, he heals them, for William is gifted. When he saves a faerie -- a humanoid fae -- from an injury he can’t explain, William is forced to let her stay. Finally, he may have taken on more than he can handle; Ainsel could uproot his life in seconds. Instead, she cracks a Pandora’s box of mysteries: someone just flipped her home on its head. And because of that, she did something unspeakable. And somehow, she doesn’t want to hurt him. The longer she stays, though, the crueler his nightmares grow. Worse, governments hide secrets, too: they know of faeries. To them, all fae are monsters fueled by solstices and equinoxes. As the autumn equinox approaches, the culling agency COURT hurries to track Ainsel down. With teams across the United Kingdom and Ireland -- iron-strong despite the region’s history -- they are nearing success. A world away, their country wounded, the faerie leaders hunger for justice. In the looming shadows of war and of Ainsel’s mistake, can a human and a faerie protect each other against their own kind? Could their plight mend rifts between bitter nations and bitterer people? Or will it, like past attempts at peace, shatter? Quick note! I hope you all enjoy the Irish (Irish Gaelic) words here and there! All are defined or explained within the text. This is my chance to show off speaking it at least somewhat decently. Still learning. ;D -K
