The sun had risen in the skies of Aeros and its servants have begun to prepare for their daily tasks. Orion was already awake, practicing sword with his uncle Kyle in the courtyard while waiting for breakfast to be ready.
Christopher and Amanda, however, were still in bed, sound asleep.
Amanda rested well on her husband's chest when she noticed how his chest was heaving, dramatically. She fluttered her eyes open to gaze at Christopher and saw how droplets of sweat had formed on his forehead.
"Chris," she called.
"Stop - stop it!" He yelled in his sleep. "Don't kill them!"
She instantaneously got up to wake him, "Chris, wake up! My love!"
"Ahhhh!" He screamed as he sat up, nearly smashing his head against his wife. He panted heavily as he lowered his head against his hands. "My love. It was so horrific what Abasi and I saw."
