"Why am I being told all of this now and not before all hell broke loose?" Red's anger rose.
"There wasn't enough time to explain. Granny Cane saw the watch when you were asleep and we knew the first trial was at hand." Archer said.
"We waited for the longest time for you to awaken Red. We are so sorry it had to be like this. We almost thought you were never going to; we had no choice but to fight unprepared because if we haven't, death would come upon us." Ari continued.
"You could have told me the truth even before I awoke. Not only is it time saving, I could've been prepared." Steam started to rise from where she stood.
"It is not how the Faey Court had instructed the warriors Red. Do not vent on Arikyer here." Grandmama interrupted. "The candidate must awaken by herself or else any forced attempt might lead to the insanity along with the warrior's death."
"We couldn't just force you to awaken Red. It was too risky-" Ari agreed.
