”I am...glad you are...finally awake.” He looked at her confused as she held his hand. ”Galen Azura, we have much...to discuss.”

“Azura, me? But I’m not-“ she gave a pained cry suddenly, cutting him off. She tried to tell him that something was coming, a dark force. Lucien, angry at losing a bit of control tried to tell Galen what it was, but could not. Several healers came and wiped the blood that trickled from her nose. It was then Galen realized, whatever it was was trying to get in her head. ”No! No more sleep! No more!” Clara grabbed his hand, and started to beg him. ”Please, Don’t let them make me sleep. No more sleep.”

“Clara..” He said softly, trying to calm her down, “You do need rest, but if he’s haunting your dreams, you do not have to. Just in case you do..”

”Galen, don’t you dare use a mental ward. Listen to me! Listen to me!” Lucien cried out. ”You could have any woman you wish! Do not let emotions get to you!”

But he was ignored, as Maelthra used magic to form a small shield on her mind. “This isn’t the best protection ward, that’s where Elven and Seelie magic is best used... but it will have to do.”

A dark elf servant listening briefly had heard the princess call him Galen. She hurried to gather several elves and dark elves together in another room, near the servants quarters. There they discussed what they just heard.

“She said Galen, I’m sure of it!” She told them. “Young Master is waking up!”

“Which means Lord Lucien is going to be aware of it. If he loses too much control and separates, he might use a bit of Young Master’s magic to take Physical form. He’s now in more danger then ever.” Said An elf. “We need to find a way to either Alert Valinar of the development, or contact Azura.”

“Would they believe us though?” Asked The Servant That instigated the conversation. “What if whoever raised him made him blind even to the truth?”

“Then we have to wait, watch, and pray for Young Master Galen. The Orcs will most likely stay loyal to Lucien, but we are oath bound by the Mother to keep both lines of the Azura Clan safe. Even if it means from Lucien.” Said a Male dark elf. “We’ll find a way. I will write to Lady Sera. Her battalion should be loyal to Galen. She’ll know what to do.”
