Training in a forest cave

"Alright, everyone, let's all go back in and eat." Arasinya then motioned for Xerxan to come to her as she whispered, "I need to talk to you privately."

Morwen nodded as she said, "Thank you, Mother. I feel myself getting stronger."

Xerxan watches Kentis and Gwen run off when she said she wanted to talk to him in private as he walks to Arasinya wondering what kind of news she could have that she wanted to speak to him alone about.

During that time Xerxans grandmother told her four daughters time is nearly upon us set up the runes near your wayward sisters hiding place and try to lure your nieces to a rune when they lost to your nephew use the rune to teleport them to where they will be brought home to begin to change them to someone useful to us. She then says" Xerxan will come to us some time after the surprise I left in his mother fills him with despair to complete our set of new warrior mages that will bring us even more power."

Arasinya felt sweat start to form on her head. She knew what she ha to do, but she feared for how Xerxan will take it. It's regarding his family, so if he hears it, there will be a chance that he would have his blood stir and boil in eagerness to finally get rid of them. Arasinya took a deep breath as she was ready explain.

Morwen peered in to listen to the meeting where her mother was. She knew it concerned Xerxan so she had to be sure she would please her grandmother and family. In her mind, she spoke, "Worry no more, grandmother. Xerxan will soon be captured an drought back to us. Then, I will have my family's honor."

Both Arasinya and Morwen knew that momentarily, this evening and to the next day will change their lives forever.
