Falkner stood in the healing tent out of the way so soldiers could get herbs for their wounds Nyssa was being treated. her hotheadedness finally did it this time. after the doctor sewed up her thigh and armpit but the herbalist said they weren't too deep and in a few weeks she will be fine. It will probably take less time

the king entered the tent then leaned close to him

“I’m sorry you about your sister but my daughter will worry about you” he whispered in his ear taking the hint

“right away your majesty” exiting the tent near the walls of the village saddled his moa rubbing his neck before riding back to Phillip’s manor. Phillip might have gone back already riding as fast as he could

as he came across Farmboy's farm house. He saved my life and I yelled at him. Time to swallow my pride. I need to apologize, slowing to a stop and dismounting. No one was home checking the shed before he knocked, however and hearing what they were saying and he could not believe his ears.

Riding back to tell Nyssa Aeris’s power at mount Iroswell? not anyone should have if it fell into the wrong hands I need to claim it, getting back to Nyssa’s tent she was gone they must have moved her to a house or something grabbing a passing knight by the arm “where is Nyssa?”

“My lord she’s at Lord’s Charles manor ” pointing to the largest building in the whole village running to it. I have to have it. My father left me but their power is still here so the age of man will end. It was a small house for a lord two stories of logs and two windows pushing open the doors searching for a servant passing by just then a serving man came to the door

“I’m looking for Nyssa”

“this way my lord” leading me to the second floor. It was a nice little house. In the main bedroom Nyssa laid on the bed staring at the ceiling. lord Charles appeared to be out doing something

“thank you can you make sure we have some privacy” he nodded as he closed the door checking the door briefly to make they were alone “how are you feeling”

“I feel like I’ve been stabbed twice” right

“I have learned of a way to become a god” Nyssa snorted

“oh really and how?” “the Farmboy godling found something. I didn't get a good look at the thing they found but at mount Iroswell holds Aeris’s power whoever claims it ascends to godhood.

”Are you sure?”

“they didn't know I was there why would they lie about something like this” Falkner said pulling a chair and taking a seat next to her bed she didn’t reply for a while “what of your wedding”

“I will have to leave her but this is something we need, the pantheon must return in the right hands”

“the king will hate you” “I know but If one of us is a god or goddess then what can he do?”

“If we go after it we will have competition” Nyssa whispered she was clearly tired “don’t tell anyone” Falkner said as he left her to sleep for the night. Outside a maid was washing a window in the other room did she hear? There's nothing I can do if she did. He rushed back to his moa on the ride back. His mind formed plans for the journey ahead of him.
