DOREY II

DOREY II     Days had been cloudy and unfriendly for her. Her nights were vigilant and jittery. Every night she would stand by the window and watch the stars. She would imagine familiar faces by joining them, lost in her rigid memories and the certain firm desire to live the memories again. Her father, mother and brothers - they would be smiling upon her from the sky. Ofttimes the comfy bed would feel hard and she would start kicking the sheets in fret. She had not slept the way she used to sleep in the Palace of Venk, not since she had escaped her home and had left her loved ones. Alphaville was not her home, it was her shelter.

The clothing will make scratches under my sleeve", Shannon thought finding it hard to hold Aerys's hand.     They had been walking for hours, yet the garden was not likely to end. Breezes from the Queen's Bay were running throughout the unending garden carrying the scent of roses, lilac, lavender and many flowers that Shannon had been inspecting with Aerys. The boundaries were far away from the point they were standing on. The sun had begun to be sharp and its rays were burning Shannon's face.        Shannon wanted some shade, but the big shaddy trees are on the other side of the garden and it would take a long enough time to reach their. The closest shady thing was the walls of Glass Palace. He wanted to go in. He looked at Aerys, she was delighted with the pleasant atmosphere. The songs of the b
