Next few hours Xerla was reading. Who could think that one book about strange dragon's life could be so big? But it was and at the moment it was only thing that could keep her in reality, not in dreams about Quen. Or at least in other dream world. She was done with it. Now book,s till open in last page, laid in her lap and she blankly stared in wall. "Done with it?" Henrios's soft breath on her ear and neck startled her. "Yes, and, please, don't sneak up on me." girl answered codly. "I knocked but you didn't answer and doors was oepne a bit." He shrugged. "So, do you have any ideas if it could be truth?" "What?" "The curse." Xerla shrugged. "Don't think so. It is just a book, after all." "But think about it... Think about yourself..." Priester told calmly. Girl swallowed. "What do you mean?" She asked. "Just think about it." He sat down in other chair. Xerla swallowed again. Somehow the story had pulled her, night at lake... Didn't that place was so similar to lake from the book? And the tree? Where she pressed her slowly changing hand? Claw mark on the tree... The feelings and memories... At the beginning on story she had been surprised how similar main heros was to her and... Quen. And curse. It told that child of Herna, the dragon in story, will carry on part of her soul until the time will come and she will reborn in one of her grand-grand-grand-grand(And so on many time)-daughters... It told that he will reborn too... She didn't notice as her hand runt over cover over her right eye. "That's right, Xerla. You are the One. You keep sprit of the strongest dragon Leader in all Island's, maybe even World's, history. That is reason why my sister wants you so badly. We worship the Nature and she was Master of it. Only she had made us forget true reason of our prays." Heniro said as sat up strighter. "You are joing... Right?" Girl asked in shaky voice. "I am deadly serious." He shook head. (Will post more after you read it, I just let her swallow this all)

(You said you had an idea... Was is it something like this? Even a bit? It kina means that Quen has a part of that man too. Alright, not uch big and struggling part as Xerla does but still. They are desitned for each other trough centuries. )

(YAY!!!!!!!!! *looks excited*) Xerla didn't belive her ears. Hour has passed, Heniro had told a lot about curse and what it meant. The dragon that knew lives inside of her was her ancestor, pure blooded dragon Herna. And somehow she believed him. And yet she felt terribly confused. He watched her softly. Oh, Gods, she looked so beautiful when confused. He wanted to lean closer and kiss her softly, just to make sure that she is real. He had told her everything except one thing. Quen. He was her beloved from those ancient times. They were meant for each other. But for Zania's sake! Could he not re-write this story? After all, they didn't have to live this story again, he could make it as he wished. But some annoying voice told that she could never love him, not after she met him. He had came to late, actually, he had made them met in his foolishness....

(Somekind of time scrolling) Xerla was sitting on the edge of her bed. She hadn't slept at all. Each time when she closed her eyes some strange flashback came. She hated and feared it. "Does that mean I can't get rid of these memories?" she had asked yesterday. "No, you can only get rid of her but it means your death. You are the one body but two souls, tightly connected in the same time. You can live and exist without each other." Priester had explained. "But... For so long she left me alone..." She had been susrprised deeply once more. "You didn't seek for help. Loosing your memory shoved her path out of the depths of your mind and soul." Henrio told. "Does it means I can force her go back?" "Only if your spirit is stronger. Better don't try that or you will make her angry and she could try to banish your soul to the place where she had spent her time. Then she would have complete control over your body. Try to befirend her. You are her offspring, after all. Even if she doesn't know joy of being the mother because her daughter was soon taken away from her, her heart is full of love against her childrens. Think a little, has there been time when you are completely alone, without any help, sad and despret but suddenly you have feeling that someone whispers sweet words to you, tries to comfort you? Like a mother would." He leaned closer to her, gazing in her eyes with strange sight in his icy blue orbs. Small blush runt in her cheeks as she leaned back. He sighed but she returned her thoughts to his question. "You are right, there has been times like this." She had nodded after a while, running trough all memories that she had from her newest life. Heniro nodded. "That is good. She likes you. She could help you sometimes, if you find way to contact her." She had looked to him surprisedly. He nodded and suddenly got up. "My dear Xerla, I have to leave you now. Or your enchantment will win over me once again. But I hate breaking my promises." He took her hand and kissed lightly back of it and went out of room fast before she could ask anything else. Yes, that happened yesterday. She hadn't seen Heniro after that. And maybe it was better. She felt bad for that love and desire in his eyes, as if she had made him feel this for her with some flirting, and cheated Quen. But he could be good friend if not these feelings for her... Xerla sighed. What was so special about her that two great men had fallen for her? She was casual, nothing more as any other girl. She sighed one more time.

There was a small knock, but it was not from the door.

The tiny door opened, and Quen creeped out. ""Is anyone here?" he asked playfully. They both (should) knew that he wouldn't come in if someone was here. He stood, stretching his legs happily.

"No one except me..." Xerla said. <And her inside of me...> She added in thoughts. But this could not make her smile go away, the smile that she smiled just because Quen was here. The worries of her ancestor's spirit seemed to be less troubling now.

Quen smiled and hugged her. "Hello." he said gently to her.

Xerla hugged him back. "I learned what I wanted to know... But I don't know if itsn't worse now..." She sighed.

"I have read this book for few past days..." She slowly get out of his embrace and took big book. "Nice story. But it would be hundred times nicer if it would not be real and connected to me." Xerla sighed and sat down in bed again.

"That tells about Legend Times, time before the War. There was mighty Kerpethen leader, Herne, the Earth Dragon. She had ability to change into human, force that only rare dragons psses now. And once, travling our Land, she met some man smart, charming, handsome... Everyting that you could wish... She fell in love with him and he replied her feelings. She knew their love is forbidden but she had found a way. But to fulfill this way, she had to leave him for a while... One night, at the lake where we were, they spent a night together. Then they went to two different ways. He was killed soon. Someone, that held much power loved Herna as well and killed him because of jelousity. But Herna was already pregnant. She gave a birth to adroble girl but she had to give ehr away because she was more human as dragon... Then with deep hate she went in War. She found the man who killed her lover and revenged his death. But he casted a spell on her. Her spirit would always reborn in her bloodline. And her lover would too. They would meet and fall in love but thier love always would end badly, they could never stay together. There was chance that once they could stay togther but it asked his spirit's carrier to forgive them, give his life for their love. " Xerla kept quiet for a while. "Herna was my ancestor. I carry her spirit." She finnally said. <But in that case I have to meet my desitned lover soon... But I lvoe Quen! I don't want anyone else!>

Then Quen looked up from the book. "And the destined lover? Would he be your true love?" <If he is, please say I am him.>
