I Do Not Want To See You

The next day, elders from all the clans began visiting Morpheus. Elder Halifax, whom everyone trusted, examined Morpheus's body. Understanding the gravity of the situation, they gathered at the Divine Eagle Clan to discuss their next steps. Agraleus, the most anxious among them, was willing to take any measure to restore Morpheus to his former state.

They all decided to hold a council meeting with the King the following day.

Ember arrived at the healing chambers with Erlos this time, as Draven was occupied with kingdom matters and Evanthe had gone to attend to other concerns. As usual, Ember was guided towards the healing chamber where Cornelia and her apprentices were tending to Morpheus.

Everyone greeted her with polite bows before leaving, leaving Cornelia and Ember alone.

"Did he wake up?" Ember asked.

"He did, but not as he should have," Cornelia replied. "Perhaps your presence and talking to him might have a positive effect."
