Yet Emeros had also become the first man around her age who had truly forced her to struggle, think, suffer, and acknowledge that there was someone before her whom she could not simply overpower with talent.
And to make matters worse, Hemmis played a nasty little trick on her.
When Simera fell unconscious after the first meeting with Emeros, Hemmis secretly plagued the girl with dreams. Dreams and visions of various lustful events.
The dreams were very strange.
