Adykon brought Niobe over to Avera, then got her reins and saddle.

Meanwhile, Caex fed some crushed grapes to Auryn. Aerta fed one of her own children as well, quite busy.

After a few minutes, she finally spoke "Sorry that we don't have much time. We had no idea our grandson would be coming over."

"It's fine, mother. Just... can we teleport a horse with the gate stone?"

"Yes, but it will take more energy. Remember, the stones have to recharge, but they do so automatically."

"How does that work, again?"

"They absorb ambient energy, such as sunlight or heat. I put limits on what kind of energy they can soak up so they can't hurt anything that's alive."

"Alright. We'll talk later" Larek said, also tired.

"He's nice, but it's very sad. He doesn't even know who he really is or what family he's from" Orna sighed.

"An old story involving a princess and a rogue. When the rogue was captured, she confessed her love to him, and all he said in reply was 'I know.' After she freed him, he finally confessed his love when they were attacked by enemy soldiers, to which she said the same thing to him" Kos said, smiling.
