Chapter 133: A Beautiful Night Scenery
"Her Majesty wants us to follow Ezra and his team to the Mortal Realm," Leela announced a couple of moments later, pulling Annalise out of her deep thoughts. The latter just let out a small sigh before she buried herself under the covers once again.
"What are you doing?" Leela asked as she stared at Annalise in confusion.
"We would be departing at dawn and it’s already past midnight. We should sleep now so that we can survive the long journey ahead." Annalise answered without bothering to look at the girl who started smiling as she hurriedly climbed onto the bed and took her place beside Annalise.
"I knew it! You won’t abandon me." The girl sounded too happy as she wrapped her arm around Annalise and gave her a tight but warm squeeze.
"Don’t be too happy. I’m only coming with you because I want to find answers too." Annalise stated as she tried to push Leela away but the girl only tightened her hold as she whispered - "If you say so."
Realizing that Leela had no plans of letting go of her, Annalise decided to stop trying and just allowed her body and mind to relax.
It didn’t take too long before both of them were fast asleep and while one of them dreamed about slaying a certain dragon, the other one had an interesting encounter in her dream.

Annalise wasn’t prepared to end up at such a beautiful place in her dream. It was like the moment she closed her eyes, her body teleported from the room at the tavern and landed at her current location.
It was still the middle of the night with a bright moon shining in the sky along with millions of stars accompanying it. She seemed to be standing under a pavilion in the middle of what seemed like a lake.
There were mountains at a far distance and tall trees marked the edge of the river. There was a peach blossom tree standing next to the pavilion, its roots disappearing under the water’s surface and it was in full bloom. The air was filled with the fresh smell of the river and the beautiful flowers.
When she looked at the water’s surface, she found herself looking at the beautiful reflection of the sky which only made her to be more in awe.
