Dinetee healed

Rissa carried Dinetee into the castle. When she entered the throne room the show had already stopped. Many of the younger gods and goddess's were sitting together in silence. Feia sat on the floor at her mothers empty throne working on a tapestry, she seemed to be humming quietly, one of her attendants stood at her side. Nearby Enisia sat with her back against the throne stroking one of the wolves head, another was curled at her feet. Across the room Epis sagged in his throne looking dark and despondent. Finally Iyora sat on a short chair working on something that Rissa could not see.

They all looked up when Rissa and Sonnis entered with Dinetee.

Enisia was fastest to them. She practically flew across the floor.

"What happened!" She cried out. She reached for Dinetee's head which sagged from Rissa's arms.

"I just found her like this with this nymph here." Rissa said, her voice matched Enisia in energy, thought there was a twinkle in her eye that Sonnis feared would give them away. She beckoned toward Sonnis haphazardly.

Enisia didn't look at Sonnis, neither did anyone else. Feia had came closer to see Dinetee and Iyora had stood up. Only Epis stayed where he had been originally. He didn't even seem to see them.

"Epis," Enisia said.

Epis looked up, but he seemed so sleepy.

"Please help her," Feia said.

Rissa set Dinetee onto the ground. She lay there looking so still and pale. The goddess's leant over her.

"Where did you find her nymph?" Enisia said.

Sonnis startled slightly remembering what she looked like. She realized she would need to act much meeker, she was not Enisia's cousin anymore. So she bowed her head slightly and spoke quietly with respect. Which wasn't hard seeing she did admire her cousin. She explained quite simple where she had found Dinetee and how she had managed to rescue her and realized she was a goddess. So she decided to try to take her to the palace. Rissa picked up the story, explaining the rest leaving out any incriminating details.

Enisia and Feia nodded along, and Iyora said nothing.

"That was good thinking nymph. My family thanks you." Enisia said formally. "Perhaps you would like to stay for a night or two as a token of our thanks?"

It was phrased like a question, but Sonnis realized she had no choice but to be respectful and accept the offer. Less she cause offence.

"I thank you, lady Enisia." She said, bowing again. Already Sonnis could tell this would get very very tiring.

"It is of no disposition to us." Enisia turned back to Dinetee and then looked at Epis. "Come here brother and heal our cousin, please."

Epis looked tired but got up and walked forward. He stumbled as he set down at Dinetee's head and placed a hand there. He closed his eyes as the glow returned. Magically Dinetee healed again. Her eyes fluttered and she looked slightly confused. When she spoke she was careful. But nothing could hide the wonder in her voice.

Her blinked many many times. Seeing she had been blind for so long. On the surface she acted as she needed too, but underneath she was filled with intense need to see her father. So she suffered through a dinner, and denied to stay the night.

Then she was off again.

Rissa took Sonnis to the garden where the other nymphs lived. They looked at her curiously.

"What are you?" they asked.

So Sonnis bowed low and asked them to help her and shelter her. They agreed.

She would only need to survive a couple days.
