Don't Underestimate Yourself
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
Don't Push It
Rhaegar did not know when he fell asleep in Hektor room.He only remembered he was sitting in the bed and talking to Hektor. Just now when his eyes flipped opened, he was on Hektor bed and Hektor was asleep beside him on the bed. Hektor still holding the carved figure in his hand.Rhaegar stared at the ceiling for a momentt then he sighed as he sat up slowly, and rubbed his eyes.He shifted his eyes to the side of the bed Hektor was sleeping on. The boy was still sleeping and he was breathing slowly. His face look relaxed. Rhaegar eyes blinked as he reached over and pulled the bed cover up over Hektor shoulder, then he stood.He walked to the door, opened it quietly then he stopped and looked back at the sleeping Hektor. He was still sleeping peacefully. Rhaegar turned and stepped out.When he came out from the room, Jade was already standing in the corridor.She was leaning against the wall with her arms folded. She was looking at nothing in particular. When she heard Rhaegar'
It Worked
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
Escape
Rhaegar looked at the hand before he started to unwrap it.The hand was not as bad as the leg but it was still crushed. Two of the fingers was almost off. The middle joint of the ring finger was crushed and very worse. Hektor eyes on Rhaegar who was just looking at the hand."You ready?" Rhaegar asked, without looking up."Yeah," Hektor said.Rhaegar pulled the chair slightly closer and sat down. He rested Hektor's hand lightly across both of his own palms. Then he stood up and closed his eyes.The Vitality threads came out slower this time.Rhaegar breathed as the threads coiled from his forearms and gathered at his fingertips, pressing gently against the back of Hektor's hand, and then they went inside the hand.Rhaegar felt the two misaligned fingers inside immediately. The bones look like it was just displaced, which in some ways will be hard to fix. Rhaegar adjusted his breathing and started to move.Smaller movements this time and he kept his weight close to himself, shifting
Find Out Who
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
A Deal
Still at Edran house.Serra was sitting with her leg crossed in the small yard behind the house. Her back was straight and her hands were resting open on her knees. It was still morning and the morning air was still cold.There was a few dead leaves that was along the base of the stone wall on Serra left side but she did not notice them because her eyes were closed.She was channeling.The flow of her Vitality moved slowly at first and she held her breath steady and then after a moment it started to loosen.The threads were pulling from her hand and gathering under her ribs,, then it started spreading out again through her arms and down her fingers.Her eyes was still closed. Then she pushed her hand forward a little. The Vitality threads surged forward.Serra's eyes then slowly opened.She looked at her right hand first. A soft light gathered in her palm. Then she exhaled slowly.Then she looked at her left hand. The same light was there too, then she pushed both at once, and held
Yaran With A Strange Man
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
Neutral
Before Rhaegar could finish looking at the crowd and before he could turn, Yaran and the broad grey-bearded man were already making their way toward them.Rhaegar blinked seeing them as he turned.The inn yard was not that large, but he did not seen when Yaran and the strange man crossed it.One moment Yaran and the strange man were on the far side where the music was playing, and the next they were here in front of them.Serra straightened beside Rhaegar. Alderic pushed off the fence post.Yaran's eyes landed on Rhaegar and something flickered in them like he was satisfied seeing Rhaegar here.Edran stepped out of the inn doorway.He stopped when he saw Yaran and the strange man. His eyes moved from Yaran to the grey-bearded man, and for a moment his face was very still.Then something shifted in eyes as he focused his attention all on Yaran. "Are you following us?," Edran said. His voice was flat and directed at Yaran. "You have the nerve to follow us after breaking out of my hous
What Are You?
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
Soon Enough
The presence did not answer.Rhaegar breathed in slowly and continued to channel as he did not get any response. He sighed as he tried to concentrate. Maybe it was fatigue that was making feel the presence. Maybe it was the thought of Drevak and Yaran controlling a Forsaken that is pressing inside his mind.Maybe his mind was building things out of his thoughts to make it look like a presence was there.Rhaegar exhaled and pushed the thought aside, then kept channeling.The colourful threads were still moving.The threads were weaving through the air around him as he focused.The threads were spreading more and more in the room.Then the same feeling of someone being present in the center of the room returned.It came back stronger this time. Rhaegar breathes out slowly as he stayed still for a moment. Then after some while, his eyes flew open.The room was filled with colourful threads. His threads had spread to every corner, lacing the walls and the floor and the low ceiling.Jus
