Dido, lost in her own thoughts of her mysterious past, took quite a while to recognize that someone else was also lost...whether in thought or dream, she could not tell. Arkkades was acting strangely. Like he was ever normal, she thought. Grinning, she recalled first meeting Arkkades. She'd taken a liking to him because of his oddity. Like her, he was unique.
She watched Arkkades make the rounds of the camp. When he came to her and touched her shoulder, she got up to follow him. Trotting behind him, she wondered if he was planning something. She stopped short in surprise when he dissipated into thin air.
Dido stared blankly around, sure that Arkkades was just out of her line of sight. She realized a few minutes later that he had disappeared completely. For how long, she couldn't guess and hoped that he would be back soon. Although not the easiest to look at, he was still a comforting presence and the only link to Vorosh and the Others who had commanded them to banish Orannis.
We can't do it without him, she thought desperately.
"Arkkades...where are you?" She whispered into the blackness. Only silence answered her.
