"It is strange isn't it?  Sitting here pondering over things when you already know the answer," the Headmaster said as he strolled in as casually as he always did.  This time his gaze was not as intrusive as it normally was.  It was as if he were looking at Ambrose with a complete understanding of what had happened on their mission, and perhaps he did know.  The Headmaster had a way of seeing what others could not.  His eyes seemed to pierce the veil of the hidden, revealing the truth behind it all.  "Caleb will be alright Ambrose, but I am concerned that you are harboring feelings you don't understand.  Do you wish to tell me what happened or should I guess?" the Headmaster asked with a soft welcoming smile on his face as if he were trying to help, betraying the creature he truly was on the inside.

Caleb's eyes opened slowly but he was under so much medication for the pain that he slipped right back under only speaking Ambrose's name which the nurses picked up on and sighed.

Sam sat in the library with everyone, Alex had returned and had managed to snatch two blades, that meant that they had uncovered six of the seven holy blades.  Where could the last one be?

"We have to put them somewhere safe, somewhere only we have access to."

"What about here?  We can bind them here until we find the seventh blade," Ariana said.  

"Damn, Caleb was a pro at this," Sam admitted wiping a tear from her eye.  "He's such an ass.  He knows how much I care and he goes and puts himself in harms way so easily."

"Caleb does what it takes, he's always been that way ever since I met him," Ariana replied.  "Still, he's only human, and I hope Ambrose doesn't blame himself for it."

"That's just it when they left they seemed fine, but I could feel a distance between them on their return.  It's odd, but then again Caleb was unconscious so who knows."

Sam sighed and Alex shrugged his shoulders not wanting to get into the discussion.
