In my room, I was walking around in circles, I could only think about what happened today since we met in the conservatory.
What hell was happening to me?
Why did I hug her?
What hell is wrong with me? Is this all that damn lizard fault?
It can only be him! I bare no feelings for that woman. Felt a pinch in my heart for a second.
No, no, no I need to focus on more important things, tomorrow I will have to talk with everyone.
There's so much I have to tell them and if is true that the King's men are arriving in a few days, then there's so much to do.
I let my body fall into bed, there is so much I want to take care. ..
My mind was slowly fading away...
'Ashur wake up!' Ignis said in a alarming voice.
My body automatically lift up I could feel a strange aura, not just one several.
'What is this?' I asked.
'Allures...'
I got my body out of bed and put something over my half naked body.
I could only rush outside.
That Aura was fading, try to run towards it as fast as I could.
The aura suddenly vanished. I felt like a missed by a heart beat. I moved around I couldn't see or feel anything, anyone.
'Ignis ...?'
'Sorry I don't feel anything either. They've left.'
I ran around to confirm that everything was fine, the town was quiet, everything was fine.
"Ashur?? What are you doing out so late? And with so little clothing?" Jakar was looking surprised to see me run around with my sleeping clothes through town.
He was sitting with the others probably talking about what happened earlier.
"I just .." how would I explain that I felt some strange aura, but they are gone, and that I was worried about if everyone in town was okay.
He will just laugh at me with his annoying laugh.
Apparently they didn't notice anything since they seem calm and laughing.
"I was just blowing some steam I couldn't sleep."
Jakar furrowed his brows, he seemed not believe what I said.
"Anyways I have to leave, tomorrow we gather with everyone."
As I leave I hear them laugh.

"Good morning young Master." Mr.Theodor greeted me as came downstairs, he was already preparing the wood and carrying a bucket of water for Mrs Clair.
"Let me help you."
"No,no young master, what use would I have if I can't do simple chores as these." He stubbornly did not accept my help.
I don't know how long I was already looking upstairs, lost in thought. I just caught myself wondering about her.
"The lady hasn't come down, she was not in the wintergarden like she normally is the early. I guess she was very tired after yesterday." Mr. Theodor notice me looking upstairs, with low bow, he left carrying the wood and the bucket.
I caught myself again wishing she was okay.
I need to focus on more pressing matters.
'Ignis... I need you to control yourself for now on. I can't have going on and on like yesterday.'
'Who do you take me for, don't think me the mighty fire dragon can control himself whenever he chooses to.'
Did he already forget about yesterday.
This damn lizard is going to give me freaking headache today. I can feel it.
Yesterday had snowed during the night, like always everything was covered in white snow.
*
The meeting started smoothly everyone was on time, to hear what happened last night. All events of what happened was discussed, I left out the part with the soulbounding with Ignis.
I rather leave this matter for later. I see in everyone's face that the news of the king knowing about us, is a more pressing matter and I should adress to that make everyone relax.
I look around, I couldn't find her once again, since the early morning I haven't seen her.
Is she avoiding me.
Damn it! Here I am again thinking about useless things.
"... But Master shouldn't we run, at least those who can't fight..?"
I have to focus on more important matters, has the king chosen her to on purpose to distract me??
" We could run like we did before, that doesn't change the fact that the king will always be after us.
I understand that I let you guys don't, you have been through a lot..." I could see in their faces the pain they went through we were far from being the Blessed that my father took care of.
" ..I will not stop anyone who wants to leave, however I promise... No I vow that I will protect you no matter what and no harm will come to you."
"I know that I we have been through alot before we came here, some more than others. I will give my life to you Ashur. That's what I vowed." Jakar spoke loudly. Everyone nodded as he kneeled before me. Everyone kneeled before me.
They chanted our loyalty vow, as once before they did to my father.
"We the are blessed, we are the strongest, our allegiance lies with you, and your brood.
The fallen will raise and we will surve you even in death.
We are the blessed, we are the strongest here is our loyalty vow."
I will not disappoint you this time. This is my vow.
"So little master how do we do it? There's a lot injuried people here who can't fight and alot others who can't fight at all." Jakar used is sarcastic tone again, but he has a point.
"Well trust me, I have something to show you..."
"Young Master, I am sorry to interrupt, but ..."
"Tobyah, what is the matter?"
"Where's is your brother I haven't seen his gloomy face around since yesterday night." Jakar held Tobyah by his shoulder. Spotting a mocking smile.
"That's ... Mr.Jakar..."
"Don't call me that it makes me feel old, call me brother."
" Couldn't do that... I am not strong as you or my brother..."
"Nonsense..."
"You wanted to tell me something?" I had to interrupt Jakar was great in nonsensical conversation.
"My brother is missing.... He went for a walk yesterday like always and hasn't comeback."
" Maybe he found another Allure...." Jakar was laughing with his annoying loud laugh.
"Allure Mr.?"
" Ohh that's a great story..." Jakar took Tobyah away while telling the story.
I am sure that Jakobus whatever he was doing he would be okay, but something was off. Since yesterday I felt the aura from Allures and then it suddenly disappeared.
I went home since Jakar was already gone, he will come find later.
I walked home thinking about everything that was said and everything we discussed and decided to prepare.
As I was arriving home I could see Mr. Theodor passing in front of the door. They looked very worried, they finally saw me.
"Young Master...." A yell came from Mr. Theodor and Mrs Clair, they run towards me, their faces were pale.
They soon caught up to me. I stood there waiting for them to catch their breath again.
"Young... Master... The lady ...she disappeared."
" I went to her room last night leave a glass of water.. and she wasn't there... But normally she would be out if she can't sleep right away, but today... I was worrying that I haven't seen her, I went to her room and she wasn't there and the glass of water wasn't move, she always drinks it... Always..."
Did she suddenly leave?? After Gideon was here?? Did she ... Was she working with the king after all??
I was angry, how could I let her deceive me.
All because of that lizard. I could feel my chest burning hot with anger.
Against my leg I left something, one of the White wolfs threw something at my leg.
"Isn't that one of the lady's dagger?"
All my anger disappeared just like that in a second.
