Morden watched Gavin leave them and pondered a bit. he hadn't missed the young lad's look of bewilderment and he could well understand it. They'd thrust a lot on him in a short amount of time. I had to be difficult to believe one thing about yourself and then to learn that nothing you knew was accurate. He saw Lauranna take Chastianna aside and so he went to Rook. "Are you recovering?" he asked, "Do you need anything?"
Rook shook his large head, ~I am well thank you. See to the others...this form heals itself with time, so any little things will recover on their own. Forgive me for not speaking of my suspicious about the two goldens...I was not sure and did not want to cause additional problems. I am glad though that they both survived.~ So many others had not and it burdened his mind and soul greatly to know that so much death was laid at his Mother's feet and by default..his own as well.
Chastianna nodded to Gavin as he went to find Rebecca and then pushed herself to a sitting position. She smiled weakly at Lauranna, "Do not worry so...I am feeling much better." She was, but her chest ached. She wasn't sure what Helena had done to her but whatever it was had been intended to be deadly, of that much she was sure. Why though? She had no powers. She wasn't a threat to Helena. Or was she? Was there magic power hidden within her that she wasn't aware of lurking there waiting to be awakened? "Helena must be afraid if she was willing to target her son and me so directly...I like that she is afraid...maybe it will help us defeat her. Fearful people sometimes make poor choices...let's hope Helena does." She looked up and saw Gavin returning with two red vials in his hands. "How is Rebecca? Is she handling the news well?"
Morden too saw Gavin return and smiled, "So we have one component needed, we only need Nathan now..."
Alna held to him and steadied herself. "I am fine. We should make our way out to the others. I found the amulets in an ancient tome and Gavin was able to read it. Turns out he and Rebecca are the lost Golden children..." She looked up at him, "I hope they are not the only two left...it never occurred to me that the goldens were at risk along with us. They have always had their safe home beneath the waters of the great sea. What if ... their evil plan destroyed all of the goldens as well?"
Naild listened and smiled, "You are free from the stigma of Sheena now. I always knew there was no way someone as wonderful as you could have come from someone as horrible as her. Let's go join the others...maybe there is more to know...you must be wondering." He was happy for her, but time was flying by and his mother was so far away. Was she still well? Would she return? Would she even remember them? Such a horrific beating probably stole her memories. He had to believe it was so, or she would already be trying to send word so they would not worry about her. she was always thinking of others more than herself. He pushed his own cares and worries aside and stood with Rebecca, "I'm anxious to see if Prince Rook is doing better..."
Varen ate everything she made and when he was finally feeling strength returning he helped her clean up. "We should make our way to the palace and see what is happening. Seems that every day brings a new battle to fight...hopefully we can win one today."
Aldin ate with her and smiled as she spoke of enjoying her day watching the lake below. "This lake flows into a much large sea to the south east, but I thought this location was so peaceful and beautiful...and these trees were tall and strong, so I built here. I am glad you like it." She spoke of cooking, "I would be more than happy to share recipes once you are stronger and your arm is healed. Until then, please allow me the honor of caring for you. It is not a burden for me. I have been here for so long by myself, and your company alone makes my days brighter. I really was beginning to fear I was alone with only the orc people...I am very glad to know differently." He didn't like that she'd been hurt by some of the other people living here, but he'd enver seen any of them before, so he was hoping that he never would again.
