clenched teeth he asked what had happened.  “The binds are undoing and without being in limbo the energy more than stings, it burns.  It is burning through her.  It is like her body is on fire.  Leo doesn’t understand and was freaking out, I said to get you to assist me, but I need you to sooth her, while I go get something to sedate her.”  Desree said as calm as she could, but in her head and heart she was feeling guilty, she knew coming out of bindings were bad, and the more powerful the magic the worse it was.
    Vance barely heard Desree leave, but he did hear her lecturing Leo in the hall, not to go in until they made sure what was happening was something that was not contagious. That she could not risk a prince to fall ill.  He had to give it to her, she was quick witted.  A monumental scream brought his focus back to Fera, he gripped her hand. Her breaths were labored as if she had just ran a great distance, sweat was dripping off her, and her jaw was clenched tight as were her eyes.  He instinctively reached up and touched her face, tucking a wild hair behind her ear.  He was about to get the rag from the water basin to wipe off her head, but her eyes snapped open and cut through him.  He felt her fear, her pain, her worry, and what he thought was a sense of relief that he was there.  She tried to reach out to him, but another wave of pain hit, and though she tried to keep the scream in, her body betrayed her and it escaped.  Vance didn’t think, he only reacted he climbed in bed next to her and took her in his arms and held her close. When that wave was over, instead of pushing him away, she pulled him close, finding comfort in his arms, she started to cry, then sob.  Vance rubbed her back and softly hummed to her. 
    Another round of pain was being brought down on her, as she screamed into his chest, he noticed Desree was back in the room watching him.  He sat up and pulled Fera up into his arms and cradled her against him.  When she was able to open her eyes again, Desree stood in front of them. She was encouraging Fera to drink something. Vance asked what it was, when Desree explained it would send her back to limbo, and at that Fera spit it out.  She shook her head no and her eyes pleaded with Vance.  She didn’t want to go back into that world, she would gladly endure the pain just to stay awake and in his arms.  Vance tried his best to reassure her that this was for the best and she would be fine soon enough.  The worst of the pain was yet to come.
    Within a few minutes she felt it start in her chest, but it escalated down to her wrist and from there it started to build.  Vance could feel it, her energy was building, her body was growing warmer, he didn’t want to let her go.  He had to cool her down fast!  He was becoming frantic, he place her back on the bed.   In the next moment Vance’s brain could not keep up with what happened and his inner battle slipped out.  Desree stopped Vance from putting an iced rag on her forehead that was all he could take.   He lost control of his energy, sending a wave of it out in the room, Leo at that moment also lost his battle to stay away and opened the door.  Vance’s energy added to Fera’s acting like a super charge, that made hers ripple out, the room glowed like the sun.  The last thing Vance could remember was blinding light, followed by absolute darkness.

    When Vance opened his eyes he could still feel the wild mix of energy in the room, he was on the floor by Fera’s bed.  He pushed himself up and looked around, Leo was on the floor right inside the closed door, he hoped he had just been stunned, same with Desree who was on the floor at the foot of the bed.  His main fear was for Fera, he grabbed her hand and was pulled in limbo. 
    It was pitch black.  He called out for her.  There was no answer, panic was setting in, and he knew he
