Meera's Dream, One girl's dream... Options

[seerauna]

Hey all,
I've been reading the stories here for awhile and finally decided to post my own. Please I want feedback and critcism. Even a "hey, good work" is good, but it doesn't help me write better stories. It is a short story, but I am working on my series now. Yes, I am another writer who has been inspired by treydog.

Meera’s Dream

Meera stared at the sky and sighed. She wished she could fly. Only then would she be truly happy, even if she would be a beggar, because the spell was so expensive. She had heard that the other elves were able to make themselves levitate. The one spell she wished she had the most though, was one where she could shapeshift herself into a bird. She had heard that it was almost immediate transformation. She was unsure though. But Meera had never heard of a Bosmer casting that spell before.

Suddenly, a thought, almost a premonition, crossed her mind. Meera, all of the sudden, knew that at some point she would be able to fly. “Strange, that’s never happened before. It’s like I’m a seer or something.” She murmured to herself.

Years later, sitting in that very spot, staring up at the same piece of sky, Meera sighed yet again. She was going through the same thoughts of that long ago day, when her keen ears heard a noise. She whirled to find a female Argonian standing behind her, blocking the door, wielding a gold and black blade.

Meera’s gaze darted around, looking for an escape, but dropping tree stories to the ground from her bedroom window and the blocked door were her only escape routes. She looked at the Argonian, terrified. “W-what do y-you want? The Argonian smiled unpleasantly. “My name is Ocheeva little one, and I am here to send your soul to Sithis."

With those last words, she threw the dagger. It couldn’t miss at that range. As Meera’s soul soared, it realized one last thing. Meera’s dream had come true, because she had finally flown.
