Valerian woke up from his slumber and found that he was still leaning in the warm embrace of the Embrace. He did not hurry to break the embrace as he realized that the sky outside had turned dark and that the lady had fallen asleep while holding him. He sensed a familiar warmth in his heart.
This reminded him of a night when he had caught light fever and even though he was fine after Diligentia cast a healing spell on him, she still held him all night long in her arms all night long.
He raised his hand gently and placing it on Fragrantia's back he cast a lesser healing spell. She must have been tired holding him like this for several hours.
The light of the healing spell seeped inside Fragrantia's body and the breathing of the lady relaxed a little. Valerian began to think what to do next, his mind was calm now, but he wanted to find out what it was that resided inside his body. He did not like this feeling of losing control.
