Love in Plain Sight

Chapter 9: Visiting in sleep

Sofia walked tired after the day she had just experienced because of her idiotic father she was almost married to the worst man alive. "He can be such an over bearing parent at times why can't he just leave me alone in peace?" Sofia wondered as she went to her room to take a well-deserved rest. Opening the door to her room, she entered and locked it. Walking over to her bed, she fell onto it and contemplated her thoughts of today's events. The Desmond she had known in her past had been a fool but never an idiot that much she knew. "I just had to be smarter in order to unmask him," she said aloud and smirked. "But no one controls my heart." she thought before falling asleep with a smirk on her face.

Meanwhile King Roland was searching through the castle archives in search of one particular name "Maximus Lunar" Roland continued to contemplate the thought of Sofia's biological father returning to Enchancia which would only cause more complicated problems on his part. "But not every king is perfect" he said to himself. The wishing well had granted his wish all right but it had sent Lunar to Merlin who knows where and if he was to make amends, he was certain that Lunar would come for both Miranda and Sofia first. Finally finding an ancient scroll, he opened it and read what legible content that was left of the missing sorcerer.

"Sorcerer Maximus Lunar also known as the elusive sorcerer studied under the guiding hand of Merlin as a young lad but diverted his studies towards the practice of shape shifting as well as combat abilities." King Roland read aloud.

Roland knew that there had to be more there just had to be "Unless Lunar erased any evidence of his existence." he said aloud Turning back to the endless scrolls in the archives of legends King Roland muttered "If they ever found out I'll be no better then Prince Desmond" he thought before resuming his search for the elusive sorcerer.

Back in her room, Sofia tossed and turned in bed as she dreamt of her biological father. Her dream was in front of the entrance of the enchanted forest were she had last seen her father.

Walking towards the shadowed figure Sofia, she walked over to her father "Dad? Is it really you?" Sofia said as she walked over to were her father now stood. "I Sofia it is but also not so."

Sofia just looked to her father "What do you mean?" she said looking confused

Lunar just smiled and said, "You are dreaming and I am speaking to you through the dream but I am in the Enchanted Forest.," he said as he chuckled and smiled at his daughter. "But my have you grown you are no longer a little girl anymore it's quite shocking really."

Sofia grinned but it soon faded into a light frown "What happened to you father?" when you didn't return mom was so worried."

Lunar just sighed "You should wake up soon Sofia next time we meet I will tell you everything I promise for now take this." he handed Sofia a small stone as clear as water "A communication stone whenever you wish to speak to me hold it and say "Little stone so clear and pure let me speak to my father Maximus Lunar. It works with other individuals as well but only if they have a stone as well also the spell has to rhyme" Lunar said with a smile "Sleep well Sofia and happy birthday" he said as Sofia woke from the dream she realized she held something in her hand. Opening her hand Sofia looked and found the communication stone clear as water just like she had seen in her dream. Smiling she looked at it and said "Thanks Dad"

Author Note: Hey guys thanks for being patient with me for this chapter. I had a serious case of writers block for a while but now it is gone and inspiration is flowing through me like crazy so here is chapter 9 Love in plain sight. Thank you all of you wonderful reviewers for the comments you have no idea how all of your input helped write this story. If any of you have any ideas what so ever PM me and tell me. I will try my best to add them in. Chapter 9 was probably the most difficult chapter that I wrote because of the transition of characters. Also I started college again this year so if the story seems to be taking a bit slow its because I am trying to study for all the wonderful classes that I have (sarcasm intended). But I will always try to squeeze in time for all of you readers out there. Thank you all again now on to chapter 10 the final chapter of this section of the story.
