Rhaegar still could not believe that Jade just throw him under the bus like that. He genuinely did not believe and he was not expecting it either.Seeing all eyes looming st him, Rhaegar ran a hand through his hair as he exhaled slowly through his nose, and then he swallowed. Then he nodded."Sure," he had said. "I can do it."Rhaegar just said it to get the people to stop looking at him like that..And he also hoped it was not a mistake saying yes. Because he did not even know if that leg was fixable. He did not know if the damage that was done inside the leg was something that could be visible.Looking at the leg, the bone has been crushed and for a very long time.Edran had nodded to Rhaegar as he spoke."Someone will be here to arranged a room for your and your people..""Thank you.." Rhaegar nodded.. Edran then sighed.. "I am leaving but I will be back soon..." He then exited the room.Petra looked at Jade and then said to Jade. "Thanks. I can take it from here." She said as

Hektor room was wide opened when Rhaegar entered through the door. Jade was behind him and the wolf was behind behind Jade.Edran and Petra were already inside the room. Edran was standing near the window with his hands behind his back. Petra just stood slightly close to Edran right side with her arms folded. Her eyes shifted to Rhaegar immediately as he entered. Serra and Alderic were standing near the corner close to the wall. The guard who took thr coin from Yaran was also standing at the corner of the room, his face silently watching everything. Hektor was on the bed.He looked up when Rhaegar walked in, and something in his face shifted as he smiled.Rhaegar took more steps into the room and stopped at Edran front first and gave a short, bow.Edran returned the nod. Then Rhaegar turned and walked toward Hektor.Hektor's smile widened. "Thank you for staying the other night. ""Thank you for letting me stay," Rhaegar said and Hektor nodded. Rhaegar pulled the chair beside the

Everyone in Hektor's room was leaving slowly now.Serra was the first to leave, then Alderic, then Vae and Jade and then Rhaegar nodded to them as he then turned and left.Edran was near the foot of the bed. Petra was by the door. Rhaegar had closed the door as he stepped out.Hektor sat on the bed now sitting.He was looking at his hand as he kept turning it slowly, and watching the fingers move. He was still trying to see if all this was damn real or just a dream..Edran walked to Hektor side without saying anything. He crouched down in front of Hektor and took Hektor's hand first as he turned it over in both of his own hand. He then pressed his thumb gently along the bones to see how Hektor will react.Seeing Hektor nodding without groaning, Edran nodded.Then he stood up and moved to Hektor leg.He pressed two fingers against the side of the knee, that is just above the joint, then pressed another two fingers below the knee too. Then he stepped back and looked at Hektor."Stand

At the northern border, the Royal guards were holding the line.The guards were thirty or maybe fifty in numbers.They were all spread out and looking out for any Forsaken. Some of the gyarfs were collapsed on the stone, some where standing on the ground with their hands raised and their threads already coming out and ready to strike.Just then, Forsakens started coming from both left and right.The acting Captain, Captain Bren shouted a command and three of his channelers turned at once, their hands snapping out. Their channels thread left their palms quickly as they cut through the air and slammed into the front of the Forsaken wave.Two of the forsaken stopped.But the rest kept moving."Hold the left!" Bren barked.A woman named Calla dropped to one knee on the ridge. She was one of Elyria's level three healers and she was here to help the injured but she was now fighting. Her Vitality threads rushed out and she directed them into the ground in front of the Forsaken's feet.The

Rheager and everyone was inside the inn right now.But they could still hear the faint sound of music coming from the outside yard. Rhaegar, Edran, Alderic, Serra, and Jade, gathered around the low table near the window. Vae curled himself at Jade's feet and was asleep. Rhaegar had not spoken since they came upstairs. He has been thinking about Drevak's words over in his mind."A Forsaken that has been captured and brought under a man's control. One of those is worth more than a hundred soldiers combined."He sighed as he looked at Edran now."If a Forsaken is being controlled by someone," Rhaegar said. "Is there a way to stop it? We need a plan just in case."Edran did not answer immediately. He reached across the table and lifted his wine cup, but he did not drink from it. He just hold it."Yes," he said finally. "There is only one way to do that."The room was quiet."Okay! Let's hear it," Rhaegar said.Edran set the cup down. "A Forsaken under a human control is not the same th
