"I will Draku...I promice..."she yawned. Closing her eyes, Lecta's body was no longuer transparent and returned to its original state. Feeling much better then before. But man was she hungry. Stomack clawing at her organs desprately"Damn..."the word escaped her lips in a groan. Perhaps Eleyym would wake her up when her food arrived? She doubted it, her body was much to weak and needed the rest. Lecta probebly would not even wake up if anyone did try to awaken her.
((Yes meldonar has a morning, but because its constantly dark its hard to tell.))

Meldonar, Next afternoon
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was up earlier than the rest of them. I sensed the sun in the sky, although it was very difficult to see, even for an elf. When i first got up, i checked on lecta, and remembered that she'd not had food recently...I went to the kitchen, and quickly put something together, that I'd made often during his travels. It was a type of herbal soup, easiest to make in the wilderness. It smelled wonderful, which was one of the reasons I'd made it. I left it on the table next to Lecta's bedside, and assumed the smell would wake her up soon...
The others slept until mid-afternoon. I waited for them to wake, reading a book i'd gotten from the library occasionally, but mostly i sang with my stars...Lecta's friends woke up, reluctant, and confused. It was still black as night to most of them, especially the humans. He wasn't sure about the Lycan druid though...perhaps they retain their wolf-like instincts in both human, and wolf forms. The human, Draku had shapeshifted constantly during the night. He probably woke up mostly nude under the covers. Hm.... i thought, he hasn't mastered his power ye has he...interesting... I'd seen one last vision before i went to sleep last night..It ws a very strange one. None like i'd ever seen before. Most visions were glimpses into future events, physical events. But this time I'd seen into the heart of draku. His thoughts, feelings, dreams...all of it came with a glimpse of his mind....Though Two feelings seemed more pronounced among the rest; Uselessness, and deep pain. Both seemed to be scars from something that may have happened years ago in his past...perhaps he'd been affected by a dark Astromancer...
Two types of astromancers include the basic Good and Evil factions of both sides. I myself had chosen to use my powers for good. An evil astromancer, on the other hand, somehow found a way to affect the minds of others. Perhaps they found a way to transfer false-visions into another's mind...Perhaps they infected the victim with a strange, mind-altering poison...However they did it, it was horrible when they did. I was very afraid for Draku. I may not have known him personally, but he did play a large part in Lecta's future...I wasn't entirely sure what though...But the fate of Alerna depended on their connection...If perhaps he'd been given feelings of detachment, and pain, it would have a greater effect on the future then any astromancer could foresee. He might have to be healed.....
I went back to lecta's room to check up on her...She was awake when i walked in....

Releasing a groan. The weak elf slowly opened her eyes. Her body acked. Perhaps trying to stand the night before put some strain on her muscles"What smells so good?"the scent awoke Lecta's sences. Shakily sitting up. She put her pillow against the backboard. Staring at the boal with blurry eyes"What is it...?"she yawned and tilted her head to the side, grumbling. Lecta reached for the boal and placed it on her lap"It looks so good..."the girl groaned bringing the spoon to her lips and slowly swallowed the warm reviving liquid.

she didn't notice me come in. She'd probably just woken, "What do you think of the soup?" i asked her? She was startled, obviously, "Sorry, i didn't mean to scare you".

"Its ok..."she whispered and finished the soup"It was amazing..."a smile appeared on her face. Revived, tence. And soar. She slid out of bed and shakily rose to her feet"I have my energy back...Some, but I am still seeing things..."a confused laugh passed thru her lips"But no worries right?"Stumbling about, Lecta leaned against the table"Give me a minute...My balance is horrable after I wake up...".

Draku woke after a few hours of sleep. Unlike his prior experience with sleep, he kept his cat like form. Looking around, it was still night although supposedly morning so he continued to try to sleep but no avail. It was the way his body worked. Once he has woken, all the gears and fuel in his body begin to work and there's no other way to shut them down but exercise. All his thoughts and memories from the previous day was now a faint blur as if he were drunk. The last thing he remembers was looking over his shoulder for the last glimpse of Lecta.
Scanning the dark room with his eyes, he could see as if he were human on an evening bathed with moonlight. That was the boundary of sight inhis cat form. Perhaps a different animal would be beneficial but Draku decides that a shapeshift should be done when necessary. It was early 'morning' and he had no intention of re-bending and re-shifting his organs or bones.
He jumped off the bed bunk in which he was placed. He was confused of how he got there. Sleep walk perhaps? Nevertheless, he shook his jet black hair and exited the dark room. Every minute passed and minimum amounts of sunlight entered the darkened city. Where is everyone?

"Hold on a moment. let me clear your head," i asked her condescendingly. I lay my hand on her forehead, and cleared her mind, as i had done the night before. I moved my hand from her head, to her heart, and there gave her more of my energy. Once again, she needed it more then I. She may feel stronger, but any extra strength i could give her, her muscles would appreciate. "There, how's that?", i asked her....

"Better...Thank you Eleyym..."she said quietly and bowed her head. The tired elf rubbed her eyes and she pulled open the curtains. She wondered how the others werre doing. Perhaps tired and confused. Serobi and Draku seemed the most worried about her, mabie because. The three werre close"Later...I want to show them the hot springs here in Meldonar...there the reason why its so foggy..."the stars werre gone, and hardly any sunlight pushed its way thru the tree tops and fog"Draku...will most likely be confused...It is easy to destroy a humans internal clock...".

"Not his. He is a soldier at heart, or so he believes. He'll be fine. I sang them all to sleep last night, so they may have trouble remembering a couple things, but they'll be alright once they've had the chance to wake up. I'm not sure where they are now. I left before they went anywhere, so they could be on their way now." i told her matter-of-factly

Draku, after exiting his room, wandered the wide, elegant hallways which were fully decorated with different types of jewelry and engraving. It's quite unfortunate that all this was bathed in darkness. It seems that Draku have lost his way after wandering the beauties of the elven hallways. Soon, he should be able to pick up on Elyym's scent ||Is that right-Elymm?|| and Lecta specifically.
Eventually, he had come upon an extensive audience hall which was where he had sniffed a hint of Elyym. It was awkward, sniffing the floor for the first time in his life but it was better than embarassing himself by getting lost in the infinite rooms of the elven structure.
((Might have 2go soon srry))

Kalupaan couldn't sleep. He's been asleep for too long to even think of taking a nap. He stared out the window and observed the horizon before him. He takes time to study the nature of the plants and animals of this time.
He was happy to have felt most of them are still one with the Great Mother. They cannot speak anymore, but they may still listen to the mother's whim. There may still be hope after all.
As morning came, he could feel Lecta's pains easing up. He was relieved. He, however, chose to stay in his room. The affairs of others is not for him to touch. Draku has left earlier from the room, while Serobi is still sound asleep, Nathanial is nowhere to be found but he is sure he is out there standing guard as always.
The light of the sun was warm and welcoming. It is his first morning in his new life. He strokes his jeweled wooden band and with a wave of his hand, roots start move freely according to his instructions. "Crystal," he thought, and the roots search through his band and then moves outward baring with it a clear crystal from the jewels it carry. He instructs the roots to expose it to the rays of the sun, and it did; reflecting to sill of the window prismatic colors of all kinds, moving like a kaleidoscope as he allows the roots to turn the crystal.
"I have to be patient," he says to himself as he blankly stares at the colors. "As the great mother is. Slowly, but surely, balance will be achieved once more."

Serobi exited the room after a long night of on and off sleep. Upon exiting his dorm, he noticed a pair of blue eyes wandering the hallways flooded with darkness. With those eyes were the slihouette of a cat which could only be Draku. Knowing that he would go to Lecta, probably using his sense, he followed the cat staring about the hallway in awe. It was hard for him to see at this time of day. He summoned a sphere of glowing fire, his palm serving as it recess. It lightened the hallway enough for him to see the decor and retrace his steps from last night.
After a bit of time following Draku, he came upon the audience hall in which was most familiar to him. Lecta's medical examination room was located somewhere to his left. He veered west and descended from a 10-step flight of stairs. The room stood before him yet he hesitated to open it. Maybe later......I should complete the scriptures for now.
The elf was within the room and Serobi awaited for him just so he could update himself in Lecta's condition. His appearance would want Lecta to get up once again which would not be recommended at this situation.

A soft laugh escaped her lips, she turned her back to stare out at the forest bellow. Strange animals wandered around, Many new to her"Draku is most likely lost...Knowing him..."sighing, an animal that was a cross between a long legged bird and a rat passed thru her. Confusion rushed thru her mind"What is that?"she mumbled and scratched the back of her head. Curious, she wanted to go check it out. But nature was best to be seen from from. And she still was in no condition to be wandering around.

Finally, he had reached Lecta's room but did not enter. His ears twitched as his senses picked up on Serobi following him. Serobi hesitated to enter but Draku took a peek into the room.
"She's not here." he calls back to Serobi. "I wonder if she's okay now?"

Stuborn as she is. Lecta wandered about outside the temple. Breathing in the clean fresh air. It felt amazing on her lungs instead of bieng crouded in that room. Slidding her hands along her hips. She gripped the dress hard. Content, her friends probebly reached her room, and started to look for her. She didnt lisen to her guardian, she knew she needed the rest. But lecta detested bieng in one place for to long"I wonder what there doing...".
