Luna awoke and looked around. There was no sign of Valefore, so Luna figured that he had joined her. She stood and tried to walk, only to stumble and come close to falling. She thought she should have sit down for a second, but then thought about what she still needed to do. She walked out of the room, knowing she had a lot of travel and not so much time to do it in.
As she came to the stairs that led down into the room, Luna missed a step, stumbling. She left Derick's hands grab her as she fell.
"Are you ok?" Derick asked.
"I feel so weak. How long has it been?"
"About five hours."
"Was that how long it was in Killika?"
"Give or take."
"He's here to help us." Luna said with a smile.
"Good. Let's go out and get some rest, ok?"
"That
sounds good." Luna said as they began to leave. Just as they
were
about to leave the temple, Luna stopped to look at her father's
statue. She just stood there for a moment looking at it and then
said,"I hope I do well. I just want to do the right
thing."
"Don't worry, you are." Derick said, coming up behind her.
"I think so, too." Luna said, smiling. "Let's go t bed. I'm tired.
"Yeah, me, too. Worrying for five hours straight can really take a lot out of you."
"I bet so." Luna said, laughing.
