short, but I promise that the next chapter will be longer and have more
point to it than this one! Please don't forget to review and show the love
^---^ And now, we continue the story...
*****************************
When Orphen awoke, the sun was peeking through the windows. He stretched, causing the blanket to slide to the floor and looked over at Cleao who still had not moved an inch. He sighed and knelt next to her bedside, "Cleao, I don't know if you can hear me or not, but wake up. Your sister and mother are miserable as is Leki. They all need you...I need you." He hesitated with his last words. Carefully, Orphen kissed her forehead and left the room.
When he went down to the living room, he heard voices, "..It's a miracle, I swear!" He heard an unfamiliar male voice breathe. 'What's a miracle.' He wondered and listened in.
"And you're sure about this." Cleao's mother asked skeptically.
"Positive, it's as if the bone just healed itself." The man exclaimed. Orphen smiled to himself, and returned back up to where Majic told him where his room was.
*~*~*~*~*
Majic had just finished stuffing himself full and leaned back in his chair, "Ahh! That was great Marie-bella." He sighed in content.
"Thank you Majic." She smiled warmly at him, "Mother doesn't want to believe it but I know it was Orphen who fixed Cleao's neck. Just the thought of that brings new hope into my heart."
"Well, I've never really understood Master and Cleao, but suddenly, it all clicks. Those two have had feelings for each other since the moment they met." He said with a smirk.
"I figured that," She commented, "Say Majic?"
"Yeah?" He asked.
"When do you think Orphen will come down? It's almost noon." She stated looking out the window and picking at her plate.
"I don't know," He sighed, "Well I'll go get him up and out of bed. He should hear the good news." Majic thanked Marie-bella one last time before walking off. When he entered Cleao's room, he was surprised to find that Orphen wasn't there, but Dortin, "Hey Dortin, where's Orphen?"
"I dunno Majic, I just came in here to find him gone." He stated as he changed the flowers by her bedside.
'Not here? Where could he be?' He wondered and left the room. Majic wandered around trying to find the sorcerer when he discovered him in his own room, hunched over a basin of water, "Master?" He asked.
Orphen lifted his head up and ran a towel over his face, "Yeah Majic?" He asked absently. Orphen moved to pull of his gloves and throw his cloak over himself.
"Where are you going??" He asked urgently, "Don't you want to stay to see if Cleao will wake up??"
"That's just it Majic. I highly doubt that she will be able to," He stated, "So I'm off to the mountains. There's a special weed that grows there and if I can get it; there will be better chances of Cleao waking up." Orphen explained.
"That's great! I'll come with you." Majic exclaimed, but Orphen stopped him.
"No," He continued when his apprentice sent him a confused look, "I'll be able to travel faster by myself and I don't want to loose any time."
"I understand." Majic nodded, perking up.
He moved into the next room where Cleao was and knelt next to her side once more. He said a few things that Majic couldn't make out, but guessed what they probably were. With one last kiss to the forehead, Orphen began to exit the room, "Look after her, I trust you." He murmured and then, was gone.

Sorry for the shortness, next one will be longer, PROMISE!!
