After a while, I just gave up, and they were satisfied with leaving me to do my research, only coming in to check on me every half an hour or so. Most of the time they were busy with the tasks I gave them anyway.

Once it landed on the paper, Cordelia started reciting the ancient words louder. Shockingly enough, the red liquid oozing out of my wound slowly slid over the map, resembling a snake made entirely of blood. It would be impressive if I weren’t in so much pain.

nted to help them prepare for our rescue operation, they insisted that I should rest, and this time, I couldn’t argue with them. They took me to one of the spare guest bedrooms, where I proceeded to sleep for the next twelve hours – whether it was due to exhaustion or the calm I felt knowing we would get my mate back, I was glad that I was finally able to close my eyes.
