Theo
After collecting Orion in his arms he takes her over to the rock and he dresses her in his shirt and jacket. He throws her dress and belt over his shoulder and brings her to where the griffin was sleeping. Apparently slept through the whole thing. He didn't know griffins could sleep that deep. Leaving everything else he puts Orion in front of him leaning on Valie's neck.
"Okay Valie, give us a steady safe slow ride back, I'm not familywith flying" he said "so please work with me."
Valie sensing Orion's in trouble she understands in her own way and they take off for the palace.
Landing in the court yard he calls for help
"I need to call a meeting with the royal family it's an emergency" Theo said.
Still holding Orion he says to a staff member "I need Marcy, someone tell Marcy to go to Orions room immediately."
Rushing through the front doors and then heading up the grand stairwell he heads to the west wing.
Arriving at her room, he opens her door and brings her to the bed. Soaking wet the both of them. Marcy comes through the door almost stumbling
"Tell me child, what happened" panic filling her voice.
"I'll discuss that later" he said "right now I need to bring her body temperature up, she's freezing."
"What is wrong with her?" Marcy asks while digging through the closet finding the thick winter fur comforters and bring them to the bed wrapping Orion.
"I need a shirt and some pants please Marcy"
Marcy obeys leaving to go and fetch more clothing. Theo puts wood in the fire place and lights a fire to warm the room. It wasn't cold but he needed to make it warmer.
Marcy comes back with pants and a shirt "I will go and make some hot chocolate for you and my princess."
Giving the clothes to Theo,
"the king and queen will be here momentarily" Marcy says as she leaves closing the door behind her.
Theo enter's Orion's bathroom and rinses off the beasts blood, he changes clothes, exits and waits for the king and queen to arrive in her sitting area.
Moments later Queen Andromeda busts through the bedroom door. "My daughter!" She cries "oh my precious baby".
Running over to her only daughter, Andromeda sits next to her on the bed, touching her daughters forehead with the back of her hand.
"she's freezing!" Andromeda yells "what happened? Why is she so cold? I thought it was just a lunch date!"
The king walks through the open doorway, "why is my daughter unconscious?" The king asks with an alarmed and aggressive tone.
"We were attacked, she saved us."
"What do you mean 'attacked'?" The king and queen asked simultaneously.
"What I mean is" Theo said "the Rot is at your door step"
