“Vance, my boy, you look like the walking dead, in fact in my time I have seen undead that have looked better. Why don’t you go close up the barn, let Oren know what happened and get some rest, if things change I will send for you.” He stood, kissed Desree on the forehead, turned walked to the head of the bed, and kissed Fera on the forehead, she sighed and he left.
Once Vance was outside he saw the lights in the barn still on, and he knew Larin would more than likely still be in there. When he got to the barn door, he heard her talking, but this time the conversion was not so one sided, someone was in the barn with her, a male. He paused, thinking it might be Leo, he listened closely first he heard Larin, “Wow, I still can’t believe you are, well, you!” “Do you think it will scare her?” the male voice said, that he heard Larin gasp and say something too low for Vance to catch. Vance walked around the corner to see Larin outside Oren’s stall. He looked around no one else was in the barn. “Larin,” Vance said, “Who was talking to you a minute ago?” Larin gave Vance a funny look, “umm, I was just talking to Oren, Vance are you ok? You look really bad!” Vance chuckled, “Thanks, I think I am hearing things too. Just so you both know everything is fine now.” He really didn’t want to go into or think about her screaming right then. He started closing up the barn for the night, when he was finished he turned to Larin and told her he was taking her back to her room and she needed to go to bed. Larin said good night to Oren and followed Vance back into the castle.
Taking Larin back to her room meant going right by the Rose room, Vance had to use most of his will power to not go back in that room. He hoped his mother was sleeping, even if it was in a chair. Maybe, just maybe, Fera was finally resting, and that alone was not worth the risk of rousing either with a squeaky door.
Larin was in her room for the night, and Vance was on his way to his room and to his actual bed, there was some comfort in that.
Chapter 15
Five steps, five steps past the Rose room, is all Vance got before Desree stuck her head out the door and asked him to sit with Fera until she or Leo came back. Apparently, a bird came and told Desree that a couple was almost to her cabin with a dire medical issue. As he walked in the room, Desree placed her hand on his cheek, “such a good boy, but don’t get any ideas, stay out of that girls head.” Desree was gone, and Vance hurled his tired body into a chair by Fera’s bed.
He sat there for a few minutes, sleep was not going to come, Desree would probably be gone for a while, what would a fast trip to limbo hurt, to check on her, to let her know everyone is fine here. He leaned forward on the bed and grabbed her hand and gave into the pull.

Fera was so happy to see Vance it took most of her will power not to run over and throw her arms around him. He met her with an engaging smile, “I see you have been doing a little redecorating since I was last here.”
“Do you like it?” Fera hoped he would, it was one of her favorite places back in Thoren, her and Oren used to go there almost every night.
Vance looked around, he was having trouble remembering she created this place, that it was all an illusion. It was a dense forest, with sun shining through the trees, and a clearing with a pond, but the most amazing part of the scenery was the waterfall. His eyes met hers, then he realized he was wrong, she was the best part of the scenery, “Yes Fera, it is spectacular, you did very well.” Fera smiled “Vance, do you want to see more? “ Vance gave her a puzzeled look, “More of what, Fera?”
“Thoren, Vance, do you want to see more of my home?”
How could her refuse
