I was riding along the road to Corona when I began to think; what did Varian do to get in trouble?

Did an experiment go wrong? Was he being too adorable? Or did he run around in his underwear? Wait, why am I thinking about him in his underwear! No! Bad girl! I Blushed as I shook the thought from my head as I kept riding.

I was halfway to Corona when it began to get dark. I'd have to stop for the night and get rest. I soon saw a small inn ahead, going towards it. I smiled as the inn keeper came out to greet me. She was a plump woman carrying a small child.

"Oh hello dear, need lodging for the night?" The woman smiled kindly as her son hid his face in her chest.

"I certainly do! How much to Lodge me and my horse?" I smiled kindly, being able to afford any price she laid out.

"12 gold pieces for the night dear, I'll get you a key!" She smiled as I paid her 15 gold pieces.

"There's three extra for you kindness and hospitality, ma'am. Thank you very much." I smiled as I put Philippe in the stable where there was hay and water. I soon grabbed my key from the kind woman and went into my room.

I changed into my night gown and settled into the soft bed. My eyelids grew heavy as I began to drift to sleep. Soon I began to dream.

~Dream Start~

I saw Varian shivering in a prison cell, looking starved and tired. He began to cry for help and I couldn't do anything to help him. I reached out to him, but he couldn't see me. Then the guards dragged him off to the gallows, Varian kicking and screaming weakly.

"Help me! Please! Help me!"

~Dream End~

I woke up, sweating and scared. I would have to pull a lot of strings to help Varian. Not only would I have to free his father, but I'd have to talk to the king and queen themselves to help him. I have to do this. I shakily tried to fall back asleep, actually succeeding. I had a long day ahead of me tomorrow.

*The dream is not prophetic, it is just a bad dream meant to motivate her more!*
