I woke in my room.
There was no golden-eyed goddess, there was no glowing spirit. I was alone.
I lay back on my bed, hands behind my head.
A knock on the door pulled me from my thoughts.
"Lukas?" Anna had returned from her sightseeing. "May I come in?"
I double-checked to see if I was wearing a shirt and saw the golden amulet lying outside of my clothes, a note pinned beneath it.
"Sure, come in highness." I said, unfolding the bit of paper.
In terrible, spidery handwriting, were the words Do. Not. Hide. It. Again.
There was no signature, though the presence of the note did make me feel a little better. It wasn't a dream then.
The door swung open, and Anna entered, a spirit chattering at her.
"Master, this one was meant for you, but you must have been out," She said batting the spirit away. "It's talking about a dinner of some sort?"
It had completely swept my mind.
Dinner.
With the Headmaster and Chronicler.
