Lament

"Ben?"

One heard a soft voice call out his name.

"Ben?" 

Again, the voice called him. 

He remembered not what happened after he fell to the ground. Hailey, his wife, was panicking when he fell while Gaia was standing there, confused as well.

He too did not understand what had happened to him. The moment he heard the word "Gaia" he felt dizzy and a sharp headache invaded his  head.

"What happened to him?" 

"We found him lying on the ground near the east wall. We didn't know what happened and according to one of the mages, there was an odd concentration of magic around him," 

"Was he cursed?" 

"We don't know. Toby is looking into it but he is also unsure as to what happened to him,"

"Tighten the security and put everyone on high alert," 

"Yes, milord,"

"Patricia, calm down. Let him rest, he is alive and he doesn't seem to be in a coma so please, calm down," 

"Miss, he is not dying. Calm yourself first,"
