It had been seven and a half days since Hellion left and hadn't come back yet. Where Claudia was worried sick for him, Oriya kept assuring her that he must be fine and busy with something important. She was telling her that he would come back but none of them were really sure when.
It was clearly hard for Claudia to spend all that time alone hence she stayed by Oriya's side instead, learning more about them, their history and their family. It was also a surprise for her that Hellion belonged to a royal family and he wasn't just a common child. He was born with a birthmark known as 'the seal' indicating that he was one of the most powerful fire creatures to ever exist. This happened once in a thousand years as it was a rare phenomenon.
