Chapter 14
Valyn waited in one of the many rooms of the keep. Plush chairs stood around the room waiting to be occupied, no one sat. Three paced the limited area in the room while Lucivar, Daemonar, and Marian went to the gardens attached to the room. He stood not moving waiting for the love of his life to walk down the hallway.
She never came. Dusk till dawn was the time it was supposed to take to make the offering. It had been four days and everyone was starting to feel a bit agitated. Daemon had snapped at Jaenelle for being in his path, which lead Janelle to snap back. This encouraged Satan to get involved and release some of his building rage. Valyn never moved through it all.
On the fifth day Draca appeared during one of their brief napping sessions.
"SSShe is finished."
Everyone jumped to their feet and scrambled to run the old one over until she held up a hand to halt them.
"Harmony is not yet able to move from the altar. One must move her. Valyn, will you follow me?"
He turned to Draca and nodded. Death glares followed him out of the room.
She was tired. Too tired to move her head off of the altar. Lorn was in the back of her mind telling her to reach for more, go a little longer. It had taken her two days to break through Ebony and get to Twilights Dawn, now she was stuck. Time stretched while she gathered power to break through the web. A glittering gem floated just below the Twilights Dawn that was her goal.
*Child that is enough. *
*Lorn, I can't save the world, I'm not like my mother, I can't do this. *
*You can child and you will. You have the power now use it. *
Gathering every scrap of energy she could pull from her body she was ready to explode when a tiny rip appeared in the web. Pushing all her power into that one spot the hole grew bigger. With one last thrust at the hole she fell through and wrapped her hand around a shiny golden gem.
*This is your power child, it's greatest power is to heal. My mother gave this jewel to the very first of the blood. And sshe now gives it to the reincarnation of that girl. That jewel can heal but it also may do harm, use it wisely. *
With that she fell into the darkness of sleep.
He walked the hallways in silent thought behind Draca. Not knowing the location of Harmony's altar meant he couldn't run past Draca to get to it.
"Why are you sso impatient Valyn?"
"I'm not impatient, I'm scared."
"Do not fear for Harmony sshe will be fine."
"I'm not worried about her; I'm scared of what her family will do to me when I get back. Why did you choose me to get her?"
"You are her Gaidin; none other can touch her in this time of weakness. She is in here."
He hadn't noticed that they had stopped at a door. Hand shaking he reached for the knob. Opening the door he almost cried at the sight of her. She lay on the altar with her hands folded on her chest. In her hands she clasped a golden jewel that could almost be mistaken for a yellow until you looked closer. The way she lay reminded him of his mother being laid out for her funeral.
"Sshe is just sleeping Prince. Do not wake her. Sshe has ssuffered through a great deal."
*You must get her to her room and there you will sstay for three nights while sshe recovers, on the third night you will wake her and make her drink this. *
A bottle appeared next to Harmony on the altar.
* This is the strongest I have. It will help her body repair the webs that sshe had to break through until sshe is sstrong enough to use her own power to heal them. *
"Thank you Lorn."
He placed the bottle in his pocket and picked Harmony up off of the altar. Kissing her forehead he followed Draca to her room.
~* Thank you for waiting all that time. Review cause you love me. And don't kill me cause I will finish this someday. *~
