I'm the Mother of the Heroine? (Book 1)

Chapter 58

She had thought that her night would be restful once her head hit the pillow but soon found herself inside of another dream. This one different. 

All around the dimly lit room there were sheer curtains blocking  out sections where low moans could vaguely be heard. Shadows moved behind them; better left unseen. 

A woman with red hair slowly danced in the middle of a pile of large pillows and ugly lecherous men. Her body glistened with sweat as she moved as though boneless. Eyes the color of rubies to match her hair flashed every once and a while; listlessly. It was as though she weren't actually there but somewhere else. By the ribs showing and faint faded bruising it was obvious she was mistreated. 

If not for the malnutrition and abuse, she may have been really beautiful. She wore meager scraps of clothing and what she did have were sheer; exposing her rose tinted nipples beneath. 

It was nearing closing time for this establishment when there was suddenly screams near the entrance. A large greasy male with a pot belly begun to choke on the chicken he had been devouring while staring fixedly at the female. A group of men clad in Metalite full body armor that reeked of demonic energy flowed into the room. Curtains were ripped down from their upper hangings in passing; revealing nude bodies of disgusting men pillaging young beautiful women. 

One thing that each woman had in common was their listless eyes and maltreated bodies. During the commotion the red head continued her slow dance but her ruby eyes had shuttered at some point. If you were close you could vaguely hear her humming to a tune that wasn't there. 

Armored men slaughtered their way inside of the establishment; killing both men and women. It was already to late for most of these women. Death would be a nicer end for them. As one of the men made their way towards the red head and had begun to raise his sword, a hand grabbed his wrist. 

He turned his head and looked stunned at his Prince. After the Prince was sure that the warrior would comply he turned his amethyst eyes towards the slowly dancing female and took a step forward. She seemed as though she didn't notice anything else going on around her. 

His pale hand reached out and slowly caressed her face. A small frown appeared on her face and the dance stopped. Eyes still shut she tried to understand what was happening before opening them slowly. The first thing she saw was the color of purple. Beautiful, she thought. 

"What's your name, beautiful one?"

His voice sounding like music as it soothed over her senses, bringing out a shiver. Her eyes slid away and looked behind him but didn't see anything. It was almost as though she were blind to anything but those amethyst eyes. 

Her head tilted to the side as if to say 'I don't know'. By all appearances, this female was a normal human but for some reason he felt something from her. Something different that drew him in. She had no Markings though, which could only mean she held no magic. 

It was strange and over the course of his life he has known that anything strange is better left killed, burnt, and scattered to the wind. For some reason he just couldn't imagine harming her though. Red and Amethyst stared at one another and before he knew it he'd reached his hand towards hers and pulled her towards him. 

She stumbled over the large pillows but went to him willingly, still in a daze. 

He pulled a silken sheet off of the ground near one of the pillows and wrapped it around her shoulders. When it began to slip off of her shoulders, he had to mechanically pull her hand up to clutch the sheet to her breasts. Trying to give her some sense of decency in front of a bunch of bloodthirsty warriors.

"Since you don't seem to have a name, how about I give you one," he asked and when she continued to stare at him he persisted, "How does Inclementia sound?"

At the moment he gave her a name something happened. A flash of blood red light consumed her, blinding all that watched their prince talk to the female. 

The sound of the sheet falling to the floor was the only thing heard before a woman's screams shattered their ears. Unfortunately, the only one who wasn't effected had something else happen instead. Their prince screamed with her and darkness surrounded them all. If they were able to see, they'd realize that standing in the midst of the darkness was a female. 

A female swathed in a glowing red aura while her blood red hair floated around her. Where before there had stood a woman bruised and malnourished, now there stood a female warrior of sexuality. She still wore what she had previously but it strained against her now larger breasts. Her previous skin and bones had filled out with lithe muscles bursting with strength. 

Eyes that narrowed in sadistic delight had replaced the previous dull look that she had previously. Where before she seemed to not understand what was happening around her, now she looked calculating. 

Her eyes watched the male in front of her with a slight smirk when she had finally returned from the pain induced changes. He really was extremely beautiful. Black tendrils of darkness, shadows and demons burrowed into his skin. Runes of infinite designs carved into his flesh while he continued to roar in pain. When it was finally finished, the markings vanished to be replaced by his previous ones. 

Inclementia stepped forward to her Soulbound and pulled his pained body into her embrace. Her hand stroked the long black hair and whispered soothing words of violence and carnage into his ears. Glee and anticipation coursed through them for the upcoming battles unseen to everyone but themselves. 

Dark times approached. 

A/N: Honestly, I thought it would be to soon for Lily to have another dream like this but... well I felt that she shouldn't have just 'nightmare' type of dreams. I won't be telling you why she has these dreams or what it means; nor why they're happening. You will find out later. Just know that if you comment and ask I won't respond. It's a weak point for myself that I tend to reply to my Readers comments and I really don't want to give it away because you guys are my weakness. Hmph. Just enjoy the ride.
