It was morning in Tortall and Daine was on the floor bleeding and very
badly

wounded. She had bruises and scars everywhere. Her tears were still moist. She

wanted badly to tell Onua, but she knew if she did Onua would take matters into

her own hands and get her killed. Numair woke as if he were still a little boy who

had to go to school. Reluctant to get up, but still was curious about what the day

would bring him. Daine left before Numair could notice. She cleaned up as best

as she could, sores stinging badly. She saddled up Cloud and just started to ride.

She did not know where she wanted to ride she just wanted to get away to think

about all that had happened. She was scared about her baby; she wanted her baby

to have a Father, just not one that would abuse the mother. She was still crying

and needed to talk to someone. As she was riding, she bumped into Onua. Onua

could tell just by looking at her that something serous had happened and she had a

good idea as to what happened. "Did Numair do this to you" Onua asked. "Yes",

Daine said as she started at the ground to hide the hot tears pouring down her

face. "He has no right to be doing this to you, you and I both know that something

has changed in him, before we jump to any conclusions we should find out what

happened. I will go talk to him" Onua said as she was comforting Daine. "Okay,

but be careful he could very easily kill you and I don't want that to happen,"

Daine said trying to stop the tears coming down. "I will be as careful as I can be,"

said Onua ad she and Tahoi began walking toward the tower.
