Quinella's Dream - Konrad's Quest [Part VI] [Story Parts I - V: Quinella, having dreamt of a Knight, shares the vision with her mother. To dream of him again, she visits Wizard Nor for a potion, that Quinella would dream again. Under the spell, Quinella's dream becomes a nightmare, which Nor recognizes, and acknowledges to himself that Konrad will be his enemy, and foretells his arrival…] Great ebony steed, arrayed in Knight's maroon standard against thy chilled winds do trod on 'neath mine muscled guidance toward this voice ~ this vision ~ that haunts me, yet entreats me, as in mid-night I behold sun's shine and in day's morn I espy shadows, fearful shadows that portend to watch my every movement then to mine mind comes thy voice ah, tremulously rich and enchantingly husky, a voice that Jason must have heard! and which, gods willing, could only truly emanate from rubied lips 'neath oceanic eyes ~ and do mind, that which is in dream, dost thy soft tendrils of auburn hair brush mine face O Steed! I woulds't have more than this mirage! Thy ears prick! Dost thou hear that inflection of my dream? Ah Moonlight, lightsome my way till a comet hide from darkness another, I have seen thy mask o Love, I know thy spirit true and I would entreat thee O gentle spirit, that thee, my affection of my haunting rest with me awhile, that I may be renewed to follow this Quest of mine heart, and to capture thee, thy spirit of thy voice… once again in mine dream… O gentl'st maiden would thou perceive me to be thy beacon of thy essence, shall my mantle so ebon enfold us both in the broadest of day till the night's dusk befall us? Could thy loveliest gaze seek me and woulds't thy have admiration for only me, as you are only mine… vision haunts me fine… I have gone without e're food or wine… intoxicatingly strong to my senses are you I crave no other woulds't thou e'er recognize this poorest of souls, my sweetest maiden, as your Knight, thy Konrad… woulds't thou dream of only me? Karilea When you want to be loved, look within...KRJ |

Sunshine. . . To say that this series has been captivating, amazing, well-written and downright superb would be to only scratch the surface!!! With this, you have shown us just how incredible you really are. . . If there's any more. . . I will just pull up a chair and pitch my tent right here. . . waiting for the next one. . . ------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

So! The brave Knight has visions of the sweet maiden and beseeches her to accept him. Not knowing, of course, that the dastardly Wizard is up to nefarious trick, potions and spells to block this stalwart Knight and the pure maiden to embrace one another. Purity from the maiden and strength from the Knight must somehow beat back the Wizard and take control of their fortunes. Ride on, O Knight, sweet dreams chaste maiden. ~ Some people are like a Slinky -- not really good for anything -- but you still can't help but smile when you shove them down the stairs. ~ |
