Later that night, Hysteria kept turning over and over in her sleep. She sat up after finding out this fact at about midnight. She took a good look around her room to remember where she was, as she usually forgets where she is after closing her eyes. The floor is wood that had been waxed and polished by her mom herself. However, she hadn't dared touch it, evident by the scratch marks all over the floor from her chairs when she dragged them around.
The walls were paved with the memories of her childhood. Her mother and father, who wasn't present from most of it, had a special place in her room, on her desk next to her spellbooks. She really needed to read those soon.
She then noticed how thirsty she was. Slowly, she got out of bed and down the stairs to the kitchen to grab a glass of warm tea with milk and honey to sooth her nerves and her throat. This attempt, however, did not work for the nerves. At least her throat felt better though. Placing the ingredients back where she got them and her mug in the sink to wash in the morning, she went back up to her room to sleep again.
She tried to calm herself down, but eventually failed to do so no matter what the plan was. Failing miserably, she tried to look out the window of her room at the stars in the sky that shined down from above. All those souls of the most powerful and brave and kind smiled down from their own personal heavens. They were probably surrounded by those that loved them, even if they didn't notice it.
In the end, she decided to go over what was distracting her from her sleep. After some searching in her mind palace, she found herself thinking about the problems in the world that she would never be able to fix no matter her level of power. A sad discovery really.
She had always dreamed of a world where everything was perfect. Where she wasn't alone. Where she had family. Friends. Where people didn't think she was a loner just because she didn't like to be around people 24/7.
Getting out of her mind, she laid back to sleep feeling more tired than before. "Why can't I just be a normal girl?" She said to herself as she wrapped the blankets around herself and fell asleep.
There would be a time and place for this kind of thinking. In a land much ahead of herself, she would be able to drift off into the unknown and travel to unmarked frontiers. Lands undiscovered. People she had yet to have met.
She just needed to wait a little longer. Just a while till they're here....
