Ryan turned to the left, he couldn't sleep tight tonight as he wasn't accustomed to having rest on the ground. Despite the mattress under him, he couldn't sleep, maybe it was for the new air, place, and new people he met. The negotiations might stretch in here.
He recalled Saya in his head. She was interesting, she was among her men and came to them at the border, what was she doing there? Doubted if she used to patrol near the borders for fun.
Pushing the blanket away, he sat straight. His father and the others were sleeping in this large room but he couldn't.
He stood up and tipped toed out, snatching his coat to stroll in the cold.
Miguel opened his eyes. His son was experiencing the same thing.
Ryan went into the corridor. No one was in that part of this mansion, he observed the staircase that was leading up, that must be the roof.
The first thing that came to his mind was the sharp wind and rough weather. No snow, no rain, perhaps that would come later but how could people get used to this weather? From there he could see the arch and domes. They knew how to live here.
"What I heard wasn't even close to what I see now!"
"What did you hear? And what do you see?"
The beautiful warm tune flew to him, before turning back, he saw the woman that stood beside him. She was fantastic, gazing up at the stars.
"Hm, milady! I didn't expect you now!"
"I can't sleep, what your father said involved my head."
She sounded too smart that she learned the Velatorian language fluently.
"I was there when the imps showed up, children were scared, they ran to shelter inside an Inn. But the female imp could have ruined everything in that whirlwind."
"I heard of you Ryan James, one of our people was in Phola that night."
Ryan had nothing to say as it came across promptly. Hence, she was aware of every detail ever since they met.
"You are unbelievable, Lady Saya."
She smiled.
"You didn't say, what did you hear about us?"
"I am not tending to answer that as long as I consider them insulting to you. But I found your people being warm."
Her face ran hard, "when it comes to protecting our land, the home we were born, we pour blood, we burn, we ruin like what you do."
Ryan's widened eyes shifted on hers, he peered at those rare eyes that were flaming. But her skin soothed fast.
"I am going to my astrologist, would you join me?"
As he guessed she was educated, her father made sure to teach her well, made a strong woman out of her.
"It is my honor, I don't know much about the sky but here the sky is full of stars, dreamy."
"Yes, we are not wildings that we are known as them, but I wish I could say the same thing about my cousin."
She extended her hands downward and led Ryan to the stairs that were leading to the yard.
"I heard about your cousin being a part of the mistress selection."
Ryan wasn't that keen to talk about it and the corner of his lips crooked; descended the steps.
"You are not agreed with it, are you?"
They began to walk inside the yard.
"I am not! I hate that the court has been lowering people by their blood and would set the position and grades through blood, not the skill and intelligence."
"It came clear to me that your cousin is a unique woman."
Ryan nodded, she was. If perfect had a definition, she was the meaning.
"Did you love her?"
Ryan halted, why was she asking about Luna?
"Milady, you are curious."
She shrugged, "I just want to know the people who seek after my aid."
The man approached her.
"Emotions are misleading, and I have to trust my destiny."
He clenched the necklace that Lavera had given her. Her eyes caught that.
"Yes, that necklace means that, did a faerie give you that spell breaker?"
She kept watching it. So jealous of him, not everyone could gain such a blessing.
"Spell breaker?" He smirked, "I had no idea what is this! But yes, a faerie had given this to me.".
Saya took Ryan to a hill, there was a white dome there.
"That's my observatory."
She pointed up and climbed up the stairs. Her dress was sweeping behind her. He looked at her for a moment. His heart was beating so fast even he was left stunned, himself. Was she for real? The stars were moving behind that white dome and she had worn a red dress under that fury coat. He could stand there and watch her for a whole life. She was glowing.
Looking back, she halted, the young man was staring at her.
"Lord James, you might freeze there!"
She jested.
Ryan wrapped himself and sneaked up, peeking at her. Why was he being shy? His hands were almost shivering.
Arriving at the door, she called out, "astronomer Kaya, are you there?"
Ryan snatched a glance at her, she caught it and smiled.
"He is awake, we were planning to see the blazing stars that shower tonight, you might have never seen the Geminids shower."
"I didn't but I heard it from my father. He saw it here in Bead."
"Milady!" The sound came from inside and the lock was unlatched.
An old man with a long beard and white clothing appeared to their view. A white cloth called Amama wrapped around his head.
"Oh, get inside lads! It is cold."
His brown eyes were on Ryan.
Stepping inside, the lady introduced Ryan and Kaya to each other, led them to the western wall.
The old man went to a curtain and rolled it back.
"Let's begin the countdown."
He walked so fast and turned off all the lanterns before it Ryan saw many devices including a huge constellation clock, a sextant, armillary sphere, telescopes, and many other pieces of equipment.
The light of stars became more visible, Ryana's mouth dropped.
The man stood beside them, "wrap up your wishes lads. Time to let the angels take them to the gods."
Ryan looked at the woman beside him who was peering at the sky and he could see the moving stars through those beautiful eyes but she closed them. He averted his head and could not believe the scene in front of him, those uncountable blazing stars were shooting straight.. What would he wish? Granting his aching broken heart soothing in the right place where it belonged to.
