The night was cold yet Lauren felt very warm in Alec's arms. It was one of the moments she wished she could stop time.
"This morning you said you had a strange dream. So what is it all about?" He asked after a long minute of silence.
She removed herself from his lap and sat beside him, but she kept their distance close and his one arm hooked around her shoulders. After pulling the quilt up to her waist, she looked at him as she said, "It was about the priestess I met in a church a few months back. The one who told me I am dying."
"Yes. What about her?"
Then Lauren went on with the details, explaining everything to Alec in no rush. From the story of the great priestess, to the spellbound ship he had discovered, everything there was to tell. It surprised him that the ship was actually made by the great priestess from a thousand years ago, breaking their assumptions that it was made by a highly skilled mage.
