Chapter 47 Am I Awake?

• Maxiana
• The pebble-like gem’s glisten in the starlight, like always. I sit on the beach where still, star filled water reflects… nothing. It’s so quiet today. I’ve seen no more doors, nor had more visions, for Goddess knows how long.
• I toss a gem into the water where it bounces, creating little ripples that stretch the stars reflected on its surface. I grab a handful and lean forward, letting the gems fall between my fingers, creating little waves in the otherwise smooth-as-glass liquid. My reflection is shadowed, nothing more than a halo of starlight around my face and head.
