Antonio quickly changed the topic to hide the fact he had nothing to say, "father, about the amulet Aleera inherited.." his father did not even seem bothered that Antonio was asking about it.

Antonio at least expected his father to pretend he had no idea what he was talking about. Antonio continued "well I am curious about the inscriptions on it." 

It was now that his father reacted "You must not Tell Aleera what the inscriptions say! Don't tell her what they mean!" he shouted as loud as he could, he began to cough and gasp for air. "Father! please do not get worked up, I will not tell her."Antonio reassured his father.

Meanwhile Aleera was still inspecting the small gem, suddenly a searing pain burnt through her mind and she saw the young girl with tears of blood as she had seen in her last dream. The girl opened her eyes, she still seemed to be crying.

She had long, black, silky hair reaching further then her waist, she wore a lengthy white dress but it was stained with her crimson tears.

The area was cold and blank, it was covered with white sand, the sky was dark blue with no stars in sight.

Aleera heard the girl murmur something but could not quite make out what she said. Aleera never before seemed to show any emotion, but now it was obvious that she felt at least a slight amount of sorrow towards the girls suffering.

"Aleera please help me, please help..." the child's arms raised from her sides and behind her hundreds of others with the fatal disease suddenly appeared, again she began to speak "please help us.. please Aleera please!"

The girl looked like she was about 9 years old. Her face showed a look of pain and desperation, her skin was pale almost a grey colour. She still had the deep red tears streaming down her soft cheek.

"Who are you, how can I help you?" Aleera asked in a fearless tone. "I am suffering, I am dying as are all the others behind me, if you wish to know why it is only you that can help me find out what the amulet means."

A single tear splashed onto the pure white sand and Aleera found herself in her sleeping chamber with the sapphire in her hands. Her mind still rang with the girls words,she could remember the wind and the sand that had been around. It had to have been real, her legs were still itching from the sand that had brushed past.

Please let me know what you think.
