Kapitel 179: Chapter 179 - Her Answer

Anok had been the one to bring the news to her, and he had not been happy to see that she wasn't in her room, along with the fact that Seb was not performing his duty, but the news had put a hold on whatever displeasure he bore towards the whole situation and Belladonna bolted through the door, past him, heading for the stairs.

The thought of the nightmare she had woken up from a while ago was long lost, the hammering of her chest from the fear of seeing the dragon's eyes trapped in that particular gem that she was always dreaming about was now lost on her, along with the familiar, yet unfamiliar voice she had heard in her dream.
