The day had been long and I had spent it going from one place to another, first to deal with my recent investments and then to meet with a variety of men involved in the military. I had been given my orders, I'd be commanding one of the units and I had to deal with what that responsibility meant. I had to settle the house and its inhabitants, deal with my official uniforms as well as my will so that my twin son and daughter would be settled should something happen to me.
I undressed for the evening and crawled into bed with nothing but my dressing pants on. My head against the pillow I sighed deeply and closed my eyes, drifting off into sleep without much hesitation.
I woke, my eyes opening in a flash to find myself still laying on my back as though I had never moved and had only been there moments, except for the fact that it was morning. I bolted up to see the sun high and the sound of birds outside my window.
The dream had been so... deep... so... I didn't even know! But my heart was near pounding and all I could think about was understanding it.
I rose and called for my servants, I ordered a bath and food immediately, and for my carriage to be brought around with in the hour. With that I went to work composing a letter; I knew were I had to be, I was headed to Gentian House.

It started out dark, but not completely dark. Ahead of me shone a white light, not quite blinding but enough to have to narrow my eyes as I stepped forward.
The air was thick with a smoke... no not smoke... mist... haze, something coming up from the ground that shielded the bright light at least a little.
"Delaunay...." A whispered voice came from the light, the beginning of a figure blurred through the light
"Delaunay... come here." The voice was soft and most definitely female with a laughter in the lilt that was playful indeed.
I walked forward through the haze, searching out the figure I had seen wondering who she could be.
"Hello?!" I call out to the figure.
"Hello, who's there!" I continued to move forward toward where the voice came from and as I did the soft petals of the Gentian flower began to fall from the black skies.
"Delaunay... I'm here... I'm here!" Her voice called to me, a beautiful voice that seemed to tug at my heart.
"Find me Delaunay... Find me!"
"Where are you!? Where are you!?" I called, running now toward the figure but a wind pushed me back so that I was forced to walk against it.
"Delaunay...." The voice was just a whisper but I managed to get close enough to it to see one last thing... Her hair; wild and red with thick curls blowing behind me as the white light filled my sight and....***
