Seren eventually calmed down after crying for a long time. Martha then came in to help the young queen change into a dry set of clothes, but neither she nor Drayce asked Seren the reason for her tears, sensing her need to have time and space.
After Drayce put Seren to sleep, he found Martha waiting outside the door of the bedchamber.
"Your Majesty," she greeted the King.
"What is it?" Drayce asked.
"Her Eminence and Lady Sierra are leaving for Agartha. Before that, they wish to see you. They say you know where to go."
Drayce went silent for a while.
"Take care of Seren," was all he said before he disappeared from the tower, only to appear at the hidden glade in the forest where Seren trained to use her divine power of earth. The ground was muddy due to the earlier rain, but the sky had already cleared up. Not too far from the glade, there was a small cabin that was a replica of Yorian's rustic cottage in Megaris.
