"What are you saying?" Aynsley asked his father in shock, "Are you
suggesting that Xanthe is some kinds of..."
"She is a walking time bomb. Every minute she grows stronger. She has no control on her power. She won't know how to handle it. Sooner or later she is going to explode." Numair said worriedly.
"We have to get her back." Kel said determinedly, "We have to."
"But what can we do?" Dom asked pacing the room.
"Wait. Diane has sent some spies down to Carthak and has informed the Emperor on the situation." Numair told them.
"I need to go talk to Diane." Kel said as she turned to leave. Dom went with her leaving Aynsley and Numair alone.
A few moments of silence passed before anybody said anything.
"What will happen to Xanthe when she.....explodes." Aynsley asked.
"When I said 'explode' I didn't mean blowing up. I meant that the magic that she has is so strong that it might very well change her."
"How so?"
"Who knows? Her body could change. Her looks could change."
"What do you mean her body and looks could change??"
"Xanthe's body isn't built to contain the magic that she now has. Her body has to adjust somehow. It is very well possible that she might never be the same again.
"I have to go to her. I have to make sure she is alright."
"We all want to, but we just can't risk it. You can't go."
"I'll be back in a flash. I wont approach her. I'll just see her, make sure she's alright, and then come back to report."
"But, son..."
"Did you let anybody stop you when you went to get mother back?"
That hit a nerve. Numair could say no to that. It was true, nobody stopped him and he got her back, but with consequences. To every action there is a reaction. No matter what consequences will arise and we'll have to hope that they are good ones.
Numair looked his son in the eye and saw him as a man of twenty-one for the first time.
"Be careful."
A/N: I updated woohoo. Anyway, thank you all so much!!! I broke a hundred reviews!! That day I never thought could possibly happen did and I want to thank all of my devoted fans for stick with me when I didn't review for months. I promise I wont let that happen again.
Anyway, away from my stupidness, I don't think I have ever mentioned Aynsley's age before. If I have already, which is very well possible, he is supposed to be 21. Tootles!!
