Pony: Sorry it's been so long. This is kind of a side-plot chapter. And short. ;-; Darn short chapters!

Poneh: We don't own Sonea, Tania, or Takan or anyone else mentioned in this story.


Loved Ones

Sobs racked Sonea's body as she lay in her bed. Her lessons had gone well, as had construction on the hospital. For the most part she had taken part in the building, adding the magic she learned from Lord Coren's book. Many of the magicians were amazed by the transformation of stone but it only took one firm glance from her to dissuade any questions.

"Come, Lady Sonea. You must stop crying." Tania fussed over her, trying to get her to sit up and eat the breakfast Takan had prepared.

"She is upset, Tania. Do you know the remedy for a broken heart?" Takan put a hand on Tania's shoulder, drawing her away from the grieving magician. Tania looked at Takan, despair in her eyes.

"I just hate to see her like this." She lowered her voice to a whisper, not wishing to upset the girl on the bed.

"As do I, Tania. But she'll never get better unless she makes the choice herself." Takan smiled at the younger servant.

"I know you're right, but it doesn't make it easy." She sighed and cast another glance at the youngest Black Magician.

"When you love someone, seeing them upset is never easy." He gave her a knowing smile before turning away and exiting the room.

Tania watched him go with a slight smile on her face that was lost on the greiving Magician and the back of the older servant.


Pony: Just a cute chapter(or so I think. xD) Please read and review. .
