Evening came and both Elsa and Chris were escorted to the castle ground to attend the burial of Alaric. Upon arriving Chris quickly greeted Elsa and noticed her sapped look even though her ladies-in-waiting made sure that she looked very beautiful for the evening.
"How's my wife? Why do you look so feeble?" Chris asked in concern.
"I'm exhausted and I have no strength anymore. I operated in Aeson and Gavin. I found a piece of rowan tree inside them. Perhaps the demons and witches used a wooden weapon or torture tool made from a rowan tree and it got stuck inside their body when they healed," Elsa explained.
"So that is why they are not healing completely," Chris uttered.
