Sonea paced her room. Her first exam as a trainee healer was coming up rapidly. They had just finished learning about the way bones work and how they are healed properly. Sonea had gone over every book she could find in the magicians library and was now pacing the room, testing herself on every little detail.
"This can't do my heart any good!" She muttered to herself.
"Did I miss something?!" Rothen enquired as he shut Sonea's door behind him.
Sonea spun around and glared at him.
"You know that my exam is coming up Rothen! You also know what I'm like"
Rothen chuckled.
"Yes. You always did worry when you were a novice"
Sonea sighed and looked out of the window. Distracted again. She really could not do with all of these distractions, she should have a diary and book people. She laughed quietly to herself. She was just about to turn from the window when a figure caught her eye. The imposing black robes of the High Lord glided along the courtyard towards the university. Sonea watched him as he ascended up the university steps. He intrigued Sonea, he always seemed mysterious and aloof, there in body only.
She jumped as she heard the rustle of boots behind her.
"Whatever are you staring at?" Rothen asked, puzzled.
Sonea blushed and looked away from the window. Rothen looked at her, amused.
"So... Dorrien not good enough eh?" Rothen laughed.
Sonea shot him a dark look.
"Just what are you suggesting Rothen? I could of merely been admiring the spring blossoms on the trees. They are a lovely colour this year." Sonea played it up and looked towards the trees.
Rothen didn't look convinced, but, he went along with it anyway.
"Hmm they are a lovely colour this year, your right" He took one glance at the trees then moved towards the door.
"I shall leave you to your studying then Sonea" Rothen chuckled and he walked out of the room and softly shut the door behind him.
Sonea stared after him. How could she possibly study now, Rothen suspicious of her. How could he believe that his own son wasn't good enough. Dorrien hadn't been back to the guild ever since the kiss by the stream, this saddened Sonea, but, she knew that he had been busy. An outbreak of flu had swept threw the small villages around Kyralia and Dorrien had been everywhere, trying to stop it from spreading any further. Now after two and a half years of fighting the disease it was finally beginning to clear away. This made Sonea happy, she loved the fact that non-magicians were finally getting better, also, the fact that Dorrien may be able to come and visit her. With this in mind she sat at her desk and looked over her notes on bone breakages.
