Rumina awke yet again. A dream. She rocked with her head on her knees. She would not sleep again tonight.
****
Ferin came with a horse and cart the next morning like he said he would. Rumina did not tell hm about the dreams.
"Danica honey, you be good for Heta and Narren. Ok?" Danica nodded.
"I'll be back as soon as I can."
Rumina hated to leave her daughter but she knew that it was better this way.
Ferin watched Rumina come out of the house.
She was beautiful but she made herself so plain.
She wore a long, blue, button up dress that left everything to the imagination.
Rumina had beautiful hair that she always kept up in a bun. She said it was just easyer this way.
Terin gave a slight wip to the horses and they were off.
Rumina had not slept the night before and so she desided she nap untill they reached the docks.
***
It was dusk by the time they reached the Tambla docks.
Rumina awoke when Ferin began to unload her things.
"You know" she said looking arownd. "I bet that I can find a few shops open I'll be back."
***
Rumina was looking though the market when the woman again appered beside her.
"Go away." She said turning to leave, but the woman followed her.
"Don't you even want to know? I can help you remember who you are."
The woman placed her hand on Ruminas shoulder.
"Now do you understand?" Rumina nodded. "Than you know what to do."
*****
About an hour later Ferin was told that the ship was ready to leave.
Rumina had not yet returned and it was passed dark. Just when her was about to go look for her he heard the sound of footsteps on the dock.
A woman dressed in black leather skirt and low cut top white top was walking up the dock towards him.
She had long red hair the fell down her back.
Ferin was just commenting to himself how beautiful he was when he saw her face.
"Rumina???" he questioned.
