Being Saved Brought Him Harm

"Ember, you can return with Draven. If there is anything, we will inform you," Evanthe suggested, glancing at Draven. "You should head back with her."

Draven turned to Ember to see what she wanted. Ember stood up, looked at Morpheus, and said, "I will visit you soon." She then turned to Draven. "My presence here might disturb Lady Evanthe from treating him. Let's go."

Draven nodded, and they stepped out of the healing chamber. Erlos and Aureus were waiting outside.

"Sire, how is he?" Erlos asked, while Aureus listened intently.

"He woke up, but not entirely yet," Draven replied, then turned to Aureus. "You can go inside."

Aureus offered a polite bow and headed inside, while the other three returned to the palace. When Aureus entered the main hall of the healing chamber, a witch standing inside signaled him toward a particular door that led to Morpheus.

As he reached the door and was about to ask for permission to enter, he heard something.
