I woke up the following day with Morgana still in my arms. She was asleep, and I didn't want to wake her, so I just lay there and watched her. She looked so peaceful when she was sleeping, and I couldn't help but feel grateful that she was here with me.
After a few minutes, I slowly got up, being careful not to wake her, and got dressed. I had a lot of things that I needed to do today, and I wanted to get an early start.
I left a note for Morgana telling her where I was going and that I would be back later, then I headed out.
I had a lot of thinking to do, and I needed to find Tallia to get on the barrier.
"What do you need me for this early?" Tallia asked as a golden portal opened beside me, and she walked out, linking her elbow with mine.
"I need to get on the barrier," I said as we started walking. "I have a rough idea of how we are going to erect it, but I need to get a better understanding of the magic involved."
