As soon as he found Morga, Haban threw the sorcerer over one shoulder and tore off again at incredible speed, without even pausing for an explanation. Even though he was being abducted in the middle of the night, Morga offered no resistance. The expression on Habans face was explanation enough.

In the moonlit villa in the peach orchard, everyone was still sleeping. Haban darted up the stairs and through the corridors to drop Morga off in front of the door. And then he stopped, gripping the doorknob.

Haban was afraid.

Slowly, he opened the door, revealing a room dimly lit by moonlight and oil lamps. All was silent, and Leah lay in the center of the stifling space. Her face was pale and it looked as if she wasnt even breathing, her body lying as still as a dolls. Ishakan sat beside her, gripping her hands as if he feared she would leave him if he let go.

Slowly, he turned his eyes toward Morga. The bright gold had dimmed.

“She…has bled…” The king said brokenly.

Morgas heart skipped a beat. Walking over to the bed, he bent to examine Leah. She had a pulse, though it was weak.

But there was something strange. Morga took out a potion and drank it down, then performed a simple spell to heighten his senses. His eyes flickered as he continued his examination.

He wasnt sure how he should explain. It was going to be a difficult conversation.

“She seems to have bled due to an abortifacient,” he began. Habans, Genins and Muras eyes grew wide.

“In, in that case…she was pregnant…” Mura began desperately.
