Kyrena had no idea what was happening around her. High Prince? She had no High Prince. Were there even High Princes? She took another bite of the apple in her hand. Trying to get warmer by the hearth fire. Her mind was still dazed and numb as she barely registered what the Drakkan was commanding. Bow? Was she supposed to bow? All around her Gems stood up. Some did nothing more, others went to their knees and let their head almost touch the floor. Then it dawned to Kyrena. The person before her and the other gems was someone important. The High Prince of Drakka? Did Drakka have High Princes? In her dream they did, apparently.

Slower than she should, slower than all the other gems, she stood up. The bench painfully scrapped across the floor. As if everything she did required more attention. Kyrena first thought was to not go on her knees. It would soil her dress! But she realized that it could be seen as a grave offense. So swallowing what little dignity she felt she had left, she went down on her knees and bowed.

Deep inside her heart was racing even if her mind was not. Her body was registering everything around in crystal clarity. It was in danger. Bowing down only made her more vulnerable as she was only looking at the stones below her. Any Drakkan could come up to her and do whatever horrible things they would no doubt do. Her body was firing off fight-or-flight signal after signal. Finally, it began to drill into her mind. Which was keeping Kyrena in a dazed state of disbelief. But now she began to believe and it did not help her situation. Her breathes became labored and deep as her heart was pumping like a madman. A sense of lightheadedness blew over her and it felt like she couldn’t breathe enough air at times. Which only led to her breathing harder and harder.

However, her state did lift her senses up from the dazed state they were in. At least enough to see the Gem next to her was not sounding quite right. As if she had trouble breathing. Realizing she was not alone in her state, Kyrena began to calm down. She would survive this. She didn't have to do it all by her self. As silent as she could she whispered: [b]"It's okay. We'll get through this. You're not alone."[/b] It were words she would have wanted to hear herself. She looked up as she said it, trying to see who shared her state. For a moment she was surprised when she did. The Gem's hands were glowing! There was no fiery passion. Just gentle warmth. It soon spread to her whole body. Kyrena was close enough to feel it. Her warmness was calming down the Air Gem.
