Andia: The Revolution

[Eltee]

Aarys unconsciously smiled.

[Duh]

Aarys's Dream

The One appeared to Aarys in her dream. They were standing in a black void with nothing but a small fire pit providing light. "Aarys," the old man said in disappointment. "What have you done?"

Rebel convoy

"Let's move!" Mary called. With the rest of the soldiers inside the third truck, the convoy continued to move.

"Are you alright, my sweet?" Elle asked Hremai.

[Eltee]

"Umm... What do you mean?" Aarys asked apprehensively. She was half convinced it was another demon.

[Duh]

Aarys's Dream

"I know that both you and Valentin are unsure whether or not you hold life in your womb." the One sighed. "I will confirm it for you. You are pregnant. And you have painted a massive target on both of your backs."

[King Acunasti]

Spoiler:

Dun dun dun!

[Eltee]

"We're Rebels. We already have a target on our backs." Aarys noted.

[Duh]

"The Immortal Commission will stop at nothing to get their hands on that child!" the One scolded. "Let me ask you something - Do you feel safe around your beloved Valentin?"

[Eltee]

"Absolutely." Aarys said defiantly. She can't be the next One...

[Duh]

"They will find a way to possess him. They will find a way to possess you! They will do anything to harm this child."

The One shook his head. "It will be a girl."

[King Acunasti]

Spoiler:

JV! Post a picture of what Hremai looks like! You too, Leyyuce! And you too, Matt!

[Eltee]

Aarys's eyes became distant. "Ariana..." She murmured. "That's what we agreed on. Ariana..." She focused on the One. "They WILL not posses me. Or Val. They are weak, petty little monsters. You might be one, too."

[Duh]

"I encourage suspicion and awareness." the One said. "But to suspect me of such things is beyond foolish, my dear."

Aarys was suddenly awake. The One was gone.

[Eltee]

Just a dream. Aarys reassured herself. She wasn't convinced. "Ariana..." She whispered.

[King Acunasti]

"What?" Valentin asked as he kissed his fiancée on the cheek.

[Eltee]

"I think it's a girl." She said matter-of-factly.

[King Acunasti]

"You think what's a girl?" Valentin asked confusedly. "What are you talking about?"

[Eltee]

Aarys took Valentin's hand and rested it on her stomach.

[King Acunasti]

"Babe...we're not entirely sure if you're pregnant." Valentin said.

[Eltee]

She kissed him. "I know. I dunno."

[King Acunasti]

"How do you know?" Valentin asked. "Did some magical prophet appear to you in a dream and tell you? We can't be sure, sweetheart."

[Eltee]

Aarys giggled. "Call it maternal instincts. I'm due in a week. We'll see, eh?"

[King Acunasti]

"Due for what in a week?" Valentin asked.

Spoiler:

Let's see you try to answer that one.

[Eltee]

"Moon time. Ohh... You do know what I'm talking about, right?"

[King Acunasti]

"What?" Valentin asked in utter confusion. "What is moon time?"

[Eltee]

"Ohh. Nevermind! Not important." Aarys said uncomfortably.
