Sephora was frustrated. It had been four days since they fought the bandits, four days since this girl had been put under her care. And what had she been able to do? Nothing. The girl slept and slept like she was out of a fairytale and had a spell cast over her. Sephora had checked repeatedly to see if anything was physically wrong with the girl, but there was nothing. 

With her hands on the girl’s forehead, Sephora began channeling her energy through the girl, muttering a short incantation under her breath. The magic flowed easily through the girl’s body; nothing was wrong. Sephora sighed. There was no reason that Sephora could think of, and that her magic could detect, that this girl was unconscious. Sephora felt a twitch under her hand. Lifting her hand slowly off of the girl’s forehead, she noticed that the girl’s eyes were moving back and forth. Suddenly, the girl’s eyes fluttered open for a moment and Sephora was struck by their bright, green color, but they quickly shut. 

At that moment, Lillith decided to walk in with food. Sephora smiled in thanks as Lillith handed her a plate of food. Her stomach rumbled lightly as she remembered that she had not eaten since yesterday morning.

“Any signs to her waking up?” Lillith whispered to Sephora. Sephora glanced at the girl’s face, but it was back to its normal, peaceful state.

“Her eyes fluttered o-open, um…, but nothing else,” Sephora whispered back, praying that the girl would soon sake, for her own sake.

Gregory had thought that joining a band of an estranged prince would have been more interesting, but here he was, day four and the most exciting thing that had happened was venison. He rolled his eyes at the thought. He sat near the waterfall by the entrance to the fort, not being a socializing type. Burping loudly, he set his plate down and headed towards the forest; he’d get that later, but for now he was looking for adventure, at least a bear to kill or something.
