Welcome to Gaia! ::

- Corbin…!

Aglo jumped from her sleep as soon as the name freed itself from her throat. The blue skinned female looked around the lonely bedroom she was in, as she clutched onto her bed sheets in disbelief, that the vision she just saw, was just another dream. She let out a long, sad sigh, lying her head onto her knees.

- I wish these dreams would stop haunting me, - The horned girl spoke to herself, while something moved under the sheets she was holding onto.

For someone, who didn’t know what Aglo really looked like, they would have thought that there is a snake, or any other long and slender creature under there. But it wasn’t a snake, nor any other creature. Merely a tail. The same shade of blue like Aglo’s skin. Even the markings matched the ones that were on the rest of her body. The tail, wrapped itself over Aglo’s waist, as she sighed again.

- So many years have passed, and yet…the visions still won’t leave me be. Not even after I killed her, - Aglo tugged on her bed sheets, absent minded sinking one of her fangs into her bottom lip. Clearly, frustration and sadness stirring in her mind.

It was still dusk outside, the very first rays of light slowly breaking through the night’s darkness and fog, leaving the cold morning dew behind them. Aglo stared through her window for a while, letting herself calm down after the dream. Slowly, she let go of her bed sheets and ran one of her hands through her soft, dark blue hair, then leaned into her hand.

- Why does my past still haunt me? – She spoke silently to herself as she gazed into nowhere. – I thought, that after I’d get rid of that succubae, it would all end.

She sighed deeply, sadly looking over the horizon through her window once more, before tossing the bed sheets to the side and getting out of bed. Aglo’s feet softly landed on the cold wooden floor, making her wince slightly. The early morning shadows gently cloaked her naked body as she walked to her wardrobe to get her into her white silk robe. She didn’t mind the cold, in fact, she enjoyed it quite a bit, but this morning she didn’t feel like being nude, like she usually was, especially since she was planning on going out for a walk, while the plants were still covered in dew. After getting dressed, even if it was so humble, the night-skinned maiden stepped out of her lonely bedroom, and walked down the stairs, straight for the main entrance.

Aglo lived alone, in an exact replica of her old master’s mansion, which she has been working on for decades, and still wasn’t finished. This kind of project required not only large funds, but unspeakable amounts of her own power as well, since the mansion itself wasn’t completely real, but only a powerful illusion. One so great, that it in fact didn’t differ from an actual building, and even had many improvements. Aglo decided to keep her home hidden from the rest of the world, by building it in the shadow realm. This way, even the most powerful would have trouble getting into it, and she could access it easily from the real world whenever needed. This, was one of her greatest achievements. Perhaps even the greatest. Even if the house made her sad quite often, reminding her of the best days of her life, while she was still but a maeri, learning the ways of magic and the world itself – she still loved her home and was really proud of it.

Aglo pulled the heavy wooden doors towards her, opening them with a light creak. The sun rays had filled the sky with their numbers a bit more since the last time she looked at it, and the fog was slowly clearing up. The succubus cocked her head slightly to the side and gazed at the view in front of her. The forest completely covered in mist, as if refusing to get ready for a new day. Tall and ancient trees surrounding the mansion completely, keeping any intruders as far as possible as well as any light. The only clear path for both – the living and the light, was the one to the river. Aglo’s heart filled with warmth from the sight in front of her, making a soft smile appear on her face, blowing all of her nightmares and worries away, even if it was just for a while. The river. That is where she was heading to.

She stepped onto the soft, cold grass, leaving the door open behind her. Tiny shivers ran over her back, only making her smile a bit more. She let the white silk robe slip all the way down her back to where her tail sprouted, yet still keeping the rest of her body wrapped in it. A moment later, thick and heavy fog formed behind her back, forming into six shapes, all similar to one another. Aglo gasped shortly, when a cold, sharp sensation clicked in six spots near her spine. She took a quick glance behind her, only to see three pairs of dark as the night itself, bat-like wings attached to her back. The she-demon flicked her tail joyfully behind her, almost like a cat. Now she was complete again.

The small bits of sunlight that actually managed to get through the trees, danced on the river’s surface when Aglo finally reached her destination. The water was so clear here, you could see each and every pebble on the sandy bottom. The waters were filled with river fish as well, that shimmered whenever a lonely sunray managed to hit them. The mistress of this forest closed her deep azure eyes and took in a deep breath, filling her lungs with cold, refreshing morning air, shoving whatever worries were left in her away. Her wings flexed out in their full size, while she was refreshing her mind and body, covering at least five meters wide behind her. Slowly, Aglo let her eyes open. Now refreshed and relaxed, she sat down on one of the larger rocks in the water, hugging her right leg over the knee, whilst the left one lightly touched the cold water.

It was quiet. The forest was still asleep, even the earliest of the creatures kept silent. Only the playful breeze and river sang in a perfect harmony. Aglo’s mind soon wandered off somewhere else. She couldn’t help, but remember her dream again. Or more importantly – Corbin. Why did she keep dreaming him? And why whenever he was about to say something important to her, she’d always wake up? This. This is what wouldn’t leave her in peace. She had to know. But how? Corbin was dead for many years now. Or so she thought, since nor she, nor anyone else ever heard from him even before her transformation. Could it be, that he was still alive somewhere, trying to reach her through her dreams? No! Aglo shook her head. That’s impossible. Corbin was human. A powerful one, but still human, there’s no way he could’ve lived this long. Could he...?

A fish splashed in the water, snapping Aglo back to reality. She let out a long sigh and dipped both her feet into the water, kicking it lightly and watching the drops shine for a short moment before disappearing out of sight and leaving only but water circles behind. The silk robe she was wearing, was barely covering her at this point. Only her most private parts were still hidden under the smooth white fabric. The maeri leaned back on her arms, and tossed her head back, staring at the sky, as she began talking to herself.

- I suppose it is unavoidable, - She said quietly while looking at a particular cloud that had caught her interest. - Time for me to head back to the mortal realm and find the means behind these dreams.
