The bombs sounded in the distance, fire and smoke filled her nostrils and
burned her eyes.

The fall had begun.

Quickly she ran through the streets, screams and crying of women and children
around. Men calling for their wives and loved ones.

She ran. She ran as fast as she could to the palace-

Up the stairs, the pillars of the house falling around her, the walls
crumbling as shells hit the outside barriers-

Down the hall-

The baby cries reaching her ears, her screams for him sounding over the chaos
outside-

She ran into the nursery, stopping briefly at the sight of a body on the
floor-

Her face pale, long brown tresses tangled and bloodied from the wound on her
head. Next to her sat the screaming child, his cries due to his terror, he
alive because of the one dead on the floor.

Vilondra knealt next to them, lifting her son into her arms, kissing him
gratefully before looking down at her fallen sister, her child's second
mother, one who had given her life for her child.

"Delia," she murmurred as she stroked the woman's hair. Her palm rested on
the woman's forehead, a prayer of thanks and godspeed given to her before she
quickly rose with her child and fled the room.

Down the stairs, down the hall, out of the palace-

Running for safety through the streets-

Over the bodies, over the destruction-

The two women awoke in their beds, the memories of  a past life making them
both weep, filling them with fear-

Then fading back to the recesses of their minds, to their subconscious.

Allowing them to sleep and dream again.
