Ezra
I thought we were going to get back to Aethelgard on horseback, but a portal suddenly ripped open in front of us. Allen carried me and walked into the portal, while Lysandra followed directly behind us.
The moment we came out the other side, we were in the palace. My body felt so weak and cold. It felt like someone had squeezed out all my strength and energy. Allen held me tighter against his chest.
"Stay with me baby. Please stay with me," he kept saying, his voice low and rough. Once we got to the hallway, he started shouting orders. "Get the bath ready! Call the doctor now! Bring clean clothes and warm blankets!" Servants scrambled everywhere as they tried to get everything in order. Lysandra left us to go and help out.
Allen carried me straight to our room and laid me gently on the bed. His hands were careful as he started taking off my dirty, blood-stained clothes. An attendant walked in quietly.
"Is the bath ready?" Allen asked without looking up.
"Yes, my lord."
