Fraya It has been a week and a day, since that night in the cave, since the last time I saw Alexander and I am quickly feeling the effects of the incomplete bond. I go to bed earlier at nights and wake up later in the mornings. I have had the dream of him in the cave every night since the first time I had it, always hearing the same words. Please Fraya, don’t give up on me. Every time, the words ring more clear in my ears. I need to figure out what the dream means but at the same time I am still far too raw after his betrayal to be able to focus long on the meaning of the dream. I get up from my bed, the sun already high in the sky. Sophia, my handmaiden hasn’t asked any questions as to why I have been sleeping in so late, but I can see the question in her eyes and a bit of concern for me
