Days passed, and the tournament came and went, Ioannes didn't wake up. Morana decided to still participate, but everyone could see with a single glance that neither her mind nor her heart was in it.
She did well and managed to solidify her place as a dangerous and strong fighter in the family, but her family was becoming more and more worried. Even though she was no longer in her zombified state she spent a lot of time next to Ioannes, waiting for him to wake up. They could all tell that she went from Passively exciting to scheming and planning.
In addition, nightmares started to plague her nights. She never told anyone, but she started to have very weird dreams and even though she had trouble remembering anything concrete from the dreams, they always left her with a bitter taste and ache in her heart. Like she was forgetting something important, someone important.
