His hands came to rest on either side of Kyera's head, fingers lightly touching the temple . To outsiders he looked very concerned but his expression changed to extreme sadness, after several moments tears ran down his cheeks and his eyes were sad . Half eye drained as much of the emotional overload off, trying to give her back a fighting chance .
"What is going on? How is she?" Clovis asked after several moments . He had been waiting at the door for there to be a break in the treatment but now he felt uneasy . A healer crying over his patient often meant nothing good . Half Eye slowly pulled his consciousness back from her, and soothed her hair with a gentle hand .
Advertisement"She is not dying, Your Majesty . Between the state of her mind and the wounds on her body mixed with whatever taint he used to put her to sleep is what keeps her asleep . You do not put one who has been struck in the head to sleep with herbs like this so quickly . " Half Eye replied honestly annoyed to find traces of incense smoke on her hair . He was lucky that Kyera had not slipped into a worse comma state or that healer wouldn't survive till morning .
"I see . She will wake soon then?" Clovis asked walking closer to him, his eyes tracing Kyera's unnervingly calm face .
"She should . It would be best to allow her to rest outside if possible . Your palace is magnificent but our kind pull our strength from the forest and earth . " Half Eye started off hand . Lazren coughed and glanced over at Half Eye as if warning him .
"I see… Perhaps my garden then? I have a hammock of sorts there she would be safe in . Its under a pavilion so she won't need worry about the weather…" Clovis offered and Half Eye thought for a moment . It would be best to move her somewhere the shadows were wild and not tamed by shapes within a room like this . Angles and rounds were nice but there was too much control for her magic to move freely .
"Yes . That would be satisfactory . " Half Eye agreed standing up to move out of the way . He was too old now to pick her up steadily . He may be called her Master here, but he knew his hands were not permitted to carry his Princess .
"I will move her there then . " Lazren offered, leaning down and scooping her up . Clovis frowned slightly but then offered a sweet smile as if it didn't bother him in the slightest . He wasn't really sure why it did .
"Mmmh Keenan…" the soft words fell from the girl's lips as Lazren put his arm under her head to raise her . She shifted and everyone looked at her . Her brows were furrowed slightly as her arms moved, sliding around Lazren's neck . She seemed to be expecting to be picked up but as her face shifted closer her brow furrowed more . "NO… intruder" She shoved back her body beginning to thrash and pull away whimpers and cries of fear and pain ripping from her throat . "Keenan… Kendric… NO… . no Not again no . . " She cried her eyes still tightly shut as though a nightmare held her in thrawl . Half Eye sighed and grabbed her hand only to be kicked away . Even in sleep her body was in flight mode .
"Kyera, Kyera Mei . . " Akira tried to reach her daughter with her voice and call her out of this dream . The terror and pain in her eyes tore at Akira's heart . Any doubt she had of her son's death being violent dissipated into the night air . The girl shuddered violently as tears fell from her eyes . Clovis finally pushed them away and knelt at her side .
"Kyera…" He whispered softly before he began to sing softly a song he had heard her sing to Raina only days before . The soft gentle tones of the lyrics almost sultry in his warm deep voice . She seemed to still, her body still tense to fight but he never reached for her . He sang softly hoping to soothe her further . No one dared make a sound beyond the Prince's voice .
"All of you leave . " He whispered when she seemed calm enough for him to give the order .
