The stars on the night skies of Agartha were akin to sprinkled diamond dust, a lovely sight to behold, but with the curtains drawn shut inside a certain bedchamber, its owner was drowned in darkness, unaware of the beauty outside, silently wrapped in her mate's embrace.
Ember lay in bed, unable to sleep even with Draven lying down next to her. She relished in him caressing her head. "Ember?" fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
"Hmm?"
"I requested Helia to restart your magic lessons, and she will come tomorrow."
"Hmm."
"I want you to keep yourself distracted instead of being depressed like this."
"Hmm."
His fingers slowly combed through her long hair.
"I know you are sad and so am I," he said, "But there is no longer a reason for us to remain this way. We have hope that he will return to us. I believe in his tenacity. He will come back, and when he does, he will make fun of you for being a crybaby."
This caused Ember to let out a small laugh. Morpheus was indeed like that.
Draven continued, his voice soft, "How about you improve yourself before he wakes up and show him how well you can control your powers? Shock him speechless. I'm sure he'll be happy"
"Do you think that's possible?"
"Hmm. Isn't he your friend? Friends want the best for their friends."
She nodded. "I will start my lessons."
Draven lowered his head to peck on her forehead, as if praising her silently for being a good girl. "You should sleep. Your lessons start early."
Ember buried her face in his chest and obediently closed her eyes. —-
By the time Fire Fae Helia arrived at the palace, Ember was waiting for her in the rear garden, in their usual place for training. "Good morning, Miss Ember—oh, it should be Lady Ember now."
Though surprised, Ember greeted her back, only to hear the red-haired fairy ask with a smile, "How have you been?"
"I am fine, Lady Helia."
The woman offered her a gentle smile and said, "Starting today, we will resume our lessons again but not here."
