Sending Energy to Lance

As the night fell, the sentries of the Crystal Garden made their rounds. Chiaki had fallen asleep in her bed half an hour ago, but it was already nine-thirty when she drifted off. Her alarm went off, and she was awakened again.

Chiaki set the alarm because she needed to send her crystal energy to support Lance Hua's life. The white wisps of her pure energy field had to be sent five times a day, so she ensured she would be awake at a regular time to do this.

Because of the threat from the Council, she couldn't be at ease. They knew that what Chiaki did by holding Lance Hua in her manor showed a good attitude from her that could extinguish the raging fire that burned in the loyal Northern tribes. On the other hand, the rebellious tribes would turn this opportunity to overthrow Lance Hua and install someone from themselves as the lord.
