| Arcon awakes/Elders meeting continues Rasen stood over Arcon as he finally opened his eyes. Arcon managed a weak pale smile before trying to speak. His first attempt produced only a low whisper that Rasen could not understand. Mariss came forward from the rear and handed Rasen a damp cloth. As Rasen wiped his kings forehead Arcons father stepped from amid the shadows. He had stepped back from the party when his son had fainted.
"My father, he lives". Arcon manged to say in a low but steady voice.
Rasen and Mariss looked at each other but had no words as Arcons father knelt down by his sons side and whispered into his ear. |
