Mystical (4)
Lilith woke with a start. The heart in her breast drummed against her rib cage , beating in the same rhythm as the tribal drums that had pulsed throughout her nightmares. The visions came back : The man beating on the drum , a woman with hair like snakes sitting upon an ebon throne , beckoning her closer. "Come my child ," the woman had cried , her voice like the notes of a beautiful harp ; music to Lilith’s wanting ears. The woman had the same strange glowing eyes she had and her skin was dark and flawless. Something about this woman struck her as familiar but she couldn’t quite put her finger on it….. It was still dark outside. The room was hot and smelled of her mother’s perfume , a smell that lingered long after the woman had departed. Her breath came quick and short , cold drops sweat was running the length of her spine. She trembled and closed her eyes as tight as she could.
A few minutes later, she was calmed , although she was still shaking and the sweat made her clothes cling to her body. She stood up from her bed and stretched , the bones in her legs and arms popping into place as she twisted and turned. A small noise in the hallway roused suspicion and she padded quietly to the door , blowing out the candle next to her door and opening it slightly , so it stood ajar. A loud yelp , one that sounded human, had made the hair on her arms and the back of her neck stand on end. There was the fast shuffling of feet down the hall, and Lilith’s curious nature wouldn’t let her stay put ; she took a step out into the hallway to see a man hurrying down the hallway, holding his shoulder and cursing.
He stumbled a bit when he reached the stairs , nearly tipping himself over t as he hurried along. Lilith followed on swift , quite feet , her eyes intent on the man as he stumbled down the stairs. He stopped to lean against the wall , breathing heavily ; he looked at a hand that was slick with blood , gleaming in the moon light that spilled in through a window. " Stupid bitch ," he cursed again , continuing more slowly until he reached the landing. He slipped through the palace doors and headed out to the guard’s quarters. Lilith was just about to follow him , when she heard someone cough. Her head snapped to the left and she gasped, taking a few steps and reaching for her waist. " Did I startle you?" It was the man same man that she had stabbed in the throat at Dark Mage’s Crossing. He held a dagger in his hand.
