ever had such a dream! Get your mind out of the gutter. As I got closer to his man, there was a great wind that pushed me away from him. I fell to the ground and when I looked up I saw the eyes of a demon.”
    Teo's brow furrowed. “Interesting.”
    â€œI thought so.”
    â€œDo you think this man is your future husband?”
    A small smile formed on her lips. “It's a possibility, don't you think? The wind, the demon, might be trying to keep me from him. At the same time, I'm not sure if that theory is right. I think the wind was trying to warn me, protect me from something. The demon… I've never felt something so evil before.”
    â€œAnd you've always been sensitive to all things spiritual.”
    â€œRight, so I'm not sure what the dream means. He's certainly an attractive man. In that aspect I wouldn't mind for him to be my future husband,” she said in a soft voice. Her gut churned at the thought, and she knew that meant the idea wasn't right. Shaking her head, Mikko played with a few strands of her hair. “Whoever he is, I know I'm supposed to find him.”

 
    Chapter Seven
    Â 
    Ichi watched the sunrise from his hotel room. Or rather, he watched the sun reflect off of the glass buildings. They amplified the orange glow as well as its size. He'd never seen anything like it before. Watching the sunrise from the mountain tops was also a beautiful thing, but in such a different way. In the mountains, it was natural and peaceful. Here in the city, he found it humbling and ominous.
    When the sun fully crested the horizon, he went down to get a complimentary breakfast from the hotel diner. From there, he wasn't quite sure what he wanted to do. Exploring was the most entertaining of his options. In the city, he was almost positive he stuck out like a sore thumb. How could he not in his handmade clothes and heavy hiking boots? The other young men in the city all wore designer fashions from head to foot.
    Just as he stepped outside the hotel doors, he was approached by a young Oceina man who was a few years older than him.
    â€œIchitaca?” he asked.
    â€œYes,” Ichi said. “Can I help you?”
    The young man pointed to a car. “Your presence is requested by the Lady Oceina. She would like for you to come to her home at your earliest convenience.”
    â€œThat would be now since I didn't make any real plans for my day.” He made sure the agitation in his voice was clear. Visiting the Lady Oceina again wasn't necessarily a bad thing, but he had hoped for some time to be alone too. He didn't realize she would want to see him so soon.
    The young man held the door open for Ichi and got into the back of the car. The ride over was painfully quiet and thankfully short. Ichi got out and walked into the condominium again. The young man who had driven waved for Ichi to follow him to an elevator. Riding up inside of the elevator was more awkward than the trip the two had taken in the car. Ichi couldn't figure out why that was, either. He tried to make his sigh of relief discreet the instant they stepped out.
    â€œPlease wait here. The Lady Oceina will be with you shortly,” the young man said and pointed to a chair not too far away from the elevator doors.
    Ichi sat down, knowing it was the polite thing to do, but he wanted to move. New places always made him excited. He wanted to see the rest of the building, to explore its nooks and crannies. During the party he had been too overwhelmed to think about seeing the rest of the inside. There had been plenty to look at inside of the ballroom as it was. Now he was in a new area of the Oceina family home, and he was curious as to how this other culture lived.
    When the Lady Oceina entered with her entourage, he rose from his seat and greeted her with a hug. He'd seen many people do that to those they were supposed to be close to. Since she was his godmother, he figured it would be an appropriate gesture. The hug
