Elsbeth looked up and Derek fought himself free from his mothers grip. He ran to his father and the last steps he slowed down and then looked at his father. He was a weak man but he knew that this only was for a while. ''Daddy..'' he whispered and got on his knees. ''Great Aunt Yyulatai.. Can we move him to the castle?'' he asked.

When the women had thought about it, she nodded. ''He can be moved but that we must do tomorrow and very very careful.. Today he has to stay on this altar'' she said. ''He might have some trouble remembering you at the first day of waking up. Slowly tell him who you are '' she said, turning to Elsbeth. Elsbeth nodded.

- 3 days later -

Elsbeth knocked on the door and held a tray in her hands, two bowls of soup and some slices of bread where laying on the tray. ''Come in Mom'' Derek said, he had been keeping watch over his father the whole time after they had been able to move him. He even had wanted to stay that one night in the temple but Elsbeth had told him that it was too dangerous. ''He was awake for a moment.. Or he talked in his sleep.. He was talking about Jania and Anna'' he said. ''And two minutes ago he said your name Mommy.. For the first time'' Derek whispered. ''I think he is dreaming.. I do lay my hand in his sometimes and tell him that his son is here'' he said. ''Don't worry my boy, he will remember you''  she said and laid a hand on his shoulder. ''Come, eat something with me'' Elsbeth said and had placed the tray on the table in the room. It was Mike's old room, from his youth that he stayed in.

''What if he wakes up?'' Derek asked. ''Then he probably is hungry'' Elsbeth said. ''Then we should get something to eat for him.. Something light'' Derek said and before Elsbeth could stop him, he ran of to the kitchen. Elsbeth got up and walked to the bed, she sat down on the edge. ''He is so determined to be the one seeing you wake up..'' Elsbeth said and placed a wet cloth on Mike's forehead. ''Two days straight now he is sitting here... The first evening he fell a sleep with his head on the bed, he had been praying the whole time.. When I came to see how he was doing, how both of you were doing I just couldn't take him to his own room.. You will probably think that I am spoiling him too much'' she said with a soft giggle. ''He now sleeps at the end of your bed. So you have enough space'' she said and stroke some hair from Mike's face. ''He looks so much like you..I saw a painting of you on his age... You two could have been a twin Mike.. A female soldier said that he has your looks and my heart..'' she whispered and laid her hand on Mike's cheek. ''Please honey.. Wake up...'' she whispered right when Derek came back inside with a tray, on it was another bowl of soup and bread. Derek placed the tray on the small table next to the bed. ''Look Daddy, your favorite soup..'' he said.
