Chapter 10
Journal Entry
Everyone in the castle has been uneasy since Kai-Stern has returned. Naturally we are glad he is home and safe, but the manor in which he returned is very mysterious. When he awoke, Lykouleon told me that Kai-Stern remembers nothing of what had happened.
Unfortunately, there are very few clues to work with in this matter. His general health indicated, to Doctor Arvis, that he had scratches from plants and perhaps suffered an impact, like a fall. This in itself tells us nothing. Because Kai-Stern is a traveler, these injuries are potentially common.
However, he was dehydrated and greatly fatigued when he was found. It does not seem likely to me that Kai-Stern would have allowed his health do deteriorate. Although Ruwalk tells me that Luwa is recovering well since the terrible storms stopped, but was Kai-Stern the cause of this recovery? And what about_
Oh my. Look at what I've been writing. It's almost as if I'm investigating Kai-Stern. That is, of course, to be left to Tethis if he feels the need. I would be lying, however, if I were to say I am not concerned.
Lykouleon sat at Kai-Stern's bed side for almost two days. I know he feels resposible. He came in late the night Kai-Stern awoke and barely spoke to me. I supposed it was because he was tired, but I heard him sigh several times after he had laid down. I asked him the next morning if everything was alright.
I know that smile, my dear Lykouleon. I know you're trying to seem indestructable. Don't you know, you can tell me anything? I must add that these past two days Kai-Stern seems to be avoiding Lykouleon and me. Was it because we asked him for such an impossible favor? Or did something else happen that caused the distance in my husband's eyes?
Raseleane set the quill in the richly ordimented holder then closed her journal. She stood from the writing desk and picked up a brush to groom her red hair. One of the ladies that normally did it for her insisted she do it, but Raseleane shook her head.
"If we can not serve ourselves at least every now and again." she smiled. "We might lose the simple understanding of what it means to be a dragon. You're heart can forget, but only if you let it." The dragon queen's gold eyes blinked. "Forget..." she set the brush down.
"Do you know where Kai-Stern is?" Raseleane asked her lady in waiting.
"No. My lady," She shook her silver hair, "but I can find out." She rushed out of the room.
"Let's see now." Gold eyes looked over a portion of her extensive wordrobe. It's not that she really needed all of these dresses. Lykouleon is just too generous. She laughed to herself. The dragon queen spotted a green dress with a gold trim and shimmering accents. "I don't think I've worn this one before." She frowned, not sure.
The red headed queen lay out the dress on the bed and looked through her jewelery. Jade didn't quiet work with the deep forest green of the dress. Opal was too bright, pearls might be just as offencive as the opal. Gold was classic but the dress already had that. Just then the silver haired lady in waiting came back.
"He is in a private meeting with the black dragon officer Tethis, my lady." she admitted. "He has no other scheduel for the day so you may be able to find him afterwords. But he'll be retiring to his room around six for certain. Doctor's orders." Her violet eye winked.
"Good work, Minna." The dragon queen praised. "It's early still and Kai-Stern likes to stay up right?"
"Till at least eleven." Minna told her, wanting more praise.
"How did you know that?" Gold eyes blinked.
"Uh," Minna looked like she was caught at something. "Well, I think I saw him a few times." she studdered her excuse.
"Minna." Raseleane came to her and took her hands. "You like our blue dragon officer don't you?"
"I, well..." she was blushing.
"Have you told him?" gold eyes asked timid violet.
"I couldn't possibly!" She pulled away. The very idea. "I'm just a lady in waiting."
"To the queen," she told the young lady. "And don't forget, Kai-Stern was only human once."
"You mean..." Minna figited. "You think I have a chance?"
"I mean, you should at least try. He can't know your feelings unless you express them." Raseleane encouraged the girl. "Kai-Stern has been hurt lately and love is a healing thing. This will do him good."
"But I, I don't have such power." violet eyes blinked before she rubbed her silver hair. "And what if he doesn't like me?" she blushed and turned away. -Not sure if she'll ever get up the courage to be so bold as to acctually tell her feelings.
"Isn't it better to regret something you've done than to regret not even trying?" The dragon queen encouraged. "Please don't give up." She touched the girl's chin and smiled in reassurance. The sliver haired girl nodded.
