Chapter 2. Reality or Fantasy ...

* Did it all really happen? * ... * or was it just a dream? * asks Lazuli, looking at the scythe leaning against the wall in the moonlight. She walks up to them with slow steps, hesitantly stretching out her hand, trembling, to touch the strange thing. She taps it very carefully to see if it is really there. Her fingers touch the hard iron of the blade, she gently runs her index finger along her ... "Ouch!". She cut herself. Blood drips from the injured finger onto the carpet in the room and the scythe suddenly begins to vibrate. Lazuli recoils and watches the event with wide eyes, while she holds her injured finger tightly against her. Now the scythe begins to dissolve and disappear. When this has also disappeared, Lazuli wonders whether she is suffering from halucinations or the same and shakes her head.A cold breeze pervades the room and lets the curtains on the open window move in the wind. Goosebumps spread over Lazuli's skin and she quickly closes the still open window. Completely confused, she goes back to her bed and sits down. * What is happening here? * Lost in thought, she leans back on her pillow and closes her eyes. After a while you can only hear steady breaths, she fell asleep.

Far away in another place at the same time lies another figure, leaning against many soft pillows, with closed eyes and only one image is reflected in his thoughts. A girl in a cherry red dress throwing herself off a cliff with fluttering hair.

“What's wrong with you Lolith?” Calls out a voice and cuts through the pictorial thought. The gestallt opens her eyes and replies to the voice, "What's the point of his peridot?" "I don't know, that's why I ask, so?" says Peridot and walks towards Lolith."Nothing is, what do you want from me?" Answers Lolith and sees Peridot standing in front of him. A slim figure with ebony-colored hair and bright green eyes, a beautiful face and a melodious voice that escapes the mouth that belongs to this face. "What I want from you? Rubicell and Spinel are in their hair again and are fighting downstairs in the hall. I have no idea what this is about, but it would be very good if you intervened, otherwise the whole thing will fall Halle together and bury them under their rubble. "" Well, if it looks like that I have to intervene. We don't want the same thing as last to happen again. "Lolith says with a slight giggle and slowly moves away from the soft cushions to command the races. The last time the two quarreled, it happened in the large dining room, which is now in ruins. "Well, I don't think that's so funny." Peridot grumbles to himself and goes to the door and holds it open for Lolith.Lolith now stands up and leaves the room. After just a few steps you could hear the two arguing around and quarreling, a few more steps and you could feel the ground vibrate under your feet. Shortly before the large, heavy entrance door to the hall, the two of them stop again and sigh, then Peridot opens the door and enters, Lolith behind him, who looks at the two arguing briefly and then fixes his eyes. In a short moment the two become aware of the people who have come through the door, but by then it is already too late and Lolith has raised his hand and freezes you in the movement. Lolith now moves towards them with a light step and stops in front of them with little distance. The stiffness of the mouth and vocal cords only loosened and almost gumming again, Lolith raises his hand again and yells "RUHE!" Intimidated by his powerful voice, everyone present in the room startles and looks spellbound at the spectacle that is offered to them."What happened here Carnelian? What happened this time that the two couldn't control each other?" Lolith asks, looking at a small, thin woman who now steps forward when her name is called. "Master Lolith, I'm sorry that you were called for such an unimportant matter, but you know how the two are, arguing about every little thing. This time it was because of a permit to go to Zirkon and do military service there kick. "says Carnelian and looks at her two sons. “What exactly is the problem?” Lolith asks, still looking at the woman. "Well Rubicell has received a permit, but Spinell not. The two argue about whether it is fair that one is allowed to go and the other not because they are twins." She replies with a somewhat angry voice. "But mom, it's true, we are both completely the same, but it is taken and I am not ... that's so uncomfortable ...!" Spinel babbles off. "Quiet!I have not yet given you permission to speak about this incident! "Says Lolith in a loud and firm voice before Spinel can complete his sentence." Sorry. "he murmurs and then keeps his mouth shut." It's true that the two seem to be completely alike, but the right decision has already been made in zircon. If both would go what kind of picture would that be. Two soldiers arguing with each other over and over again who cannot be used in an emergency because they beat each other off the bat ", says Lolith with a happy laugh." But let's hope that this emergency will never come. "

"True Lolith, but what do we do with them now?" asks Peridot, who has stayed in the background the whole time, and steps over to his side. "Well I would say Rubicell will do his military service and we will send Spinell to the court knight camp and let him train there." then gives in the Lolith as an answer and releases the rigidity of the two."All right, Master Lolith," both say after a brief moment while looking at each other. "Now you two get on with your tasks and do not disgrace your mother and me." he says and turns to go. "Thanks to Master Lolith." The two speak as if in chorus, bow and then rub their aching bones. Sighing, Lolith raises his hand and quickly moves towards the door, followed by Peridot. Arrived outside and the door locked, he says to Peridot "I need some rest now, so please leave me alone and see that everything is arranged to my satisfaction". "Yes, as you wish." answers Peridot and goes back into the hall. Lost in thought again and back in his private rooms, Lolith wonders what Lazuli is doing right now ...

Soft rays of sunshine shine through the room window and cover your face. Grumbling slightly and rubbing her eyes, she stretches her limbs and sits upright in her bed.Yawning, she pulls off her bedspread and slips into her slippers, then she goes to the window and looks at the trees and their leaves, which are just being awakened by the sun. One hand placed on the window pane and the other on her forehead, she said to herself, "Strange, everything is so strange ... Didn't I really dream?"
