"Yes."
"Really?"
"Ya, that's rather obvious. Shifters don't know this? Why do you think it's important to heal a wound that you receive from a Forsaken?"
I just thought because they can turn into a Forsaken.
“That fact is true, but there's more than one way to change a shifter to a Forsaken. It can be a slow progress. If the wound doesn't heal properly, the Forsaken or "Darkness" can drain their energy with ease. They purposely won't take a lot or they do it in a way that won't be noticed. If you’re referring to an alter ego who holds power, they’re essentially a power outlet for Forsaken. Only a matter of time before they're tainted and give in which will make it harder for the other half to fight off the urge to join the Darkness as well.”
Fuck! Seriously?
"Yes. What's wrong?"
Celestia obtained a wound during her confrontation with Odion. Orion explained he was taken over by the Darkness and sent Celestia flying into some trees. A large chunk of bark went through her thigh, and though it's healed on the exterior, it's still pretty bruised up and hurts her from time to time. We've been delaying her treatment since things have come up, but Harrison said he'd make sure to view it today before we head back to Aslan.
"I'd get that checked as soon as possible, Finn."Rainer's voice went cold, and my gut dropped as fear began to build inside me.
Is it bad?
"Doesn't she have some sort of other personality?"Rainer questioned.
Yes. Sia.
"And have you seen her lately?"
No...
"Whoever tainted the tree that injured Celestia can drain her magic through the connection, and Sia sounds like the perfect battery to drain from without anyone noticing, including Celestia,"Rainer confirmed.
Are you sure?
"I've watched my Master die from this, Finn. Trust me."
I was quiet, looking back at Celestia and Orion.
Shit.
"Magnor should be awake. He's always doing some meditation thing in the meadow near the waterfall. Asher has enjoyed hanging out there and talking to Magnor the past two days. Go check and inform him.”
Alright. Thanks, Rainer.
"No worries. I'm going back to sleep."
Okay. Sleep well.
I moved out of bed and quickly put on some sweatpants and a t-shirt. I walked over to Orion's side and tapped him on the shoulder. It took a few more taps before he mumbled something and opened his eyes.
"What, Finn?"
"I'm going to go find Magnor. Just letting you know."
"Why?" Orion asked, fighting to keep his eyes open.
"I have to ask him something. Just sleep. We may need to train when we get back to Aslan so get as much rest as you can," I urged.
I didn't want him worrying about it until I was sure. I figured he'd blame himself for the problem at hand if it were truly happening.
"Okay...night," he mumbled and closed his eyes, snuggling a bit closer to Celestia, who hadn't moved during our quiet talking.
