Only an hour had passed before Teo and Vaughan joined Fenryn in Lynnette's room. She seemed to be in a deep sleep, nothing more. However, Teo's look was enough to tell Fenryn that it wasn't good news. She sat on the edge of the bed and ran a gentle hand along the sleeping woman's forehead. “I can only delay the venom without further damaging her. We need to lift the spell before we can remove it completely.” She offered softly.
“So Asher really did tell the truth about this,” Vaughan said with a sigh. “And the only cure is in the Lightmist woods, in the hands of a clan of Enerawyn that will not be easy to find.” He glanced to Fenryn. He was glad that the King hadn't shunned away from him at all. However, Vaughan noticed that Fenryn hadn't said much to either of them. He wondered if it was out of worry for Lynnette or something more recent the King was thinking of.
“I can give you three days.” Teo was now saying, “any more than that, and the venom within Lynnette will

Adventures Of the Crown: The Purple Wolf and the Enerawyn CH44
Moving once more through the wood with the wolf pup in hand, Fenryn wondered how Lynnette was doing. He hoped he could find her clan in time, and convince them to return to the village with him. He could only pray that they would trust his word and go with him. He tried to think of a compelling speech that would be enough to win over her people, but anything he thought of sounded forced. The pup in his arms had settled down to sleep, and he couldn't help but think that she was adorable. However, he knew that she wouldn't stay so small and cute for long, not if she grew to be as big as the rest of her pack. He wondered if there were others like her pack in the world. So much was unknown about the Lightmist woods, and he was unsure if anyone would ever know more about them. Shaking such thoughts free from his mind, Fenryn returned his thoughts to his mission. “Do you think the Fae are watching us?” He asked the pup but expected no response. “Lynnette said they helped p
Adventures Of the Crown: The Purple Wolf and the Enerawyn CH45
Morning couldn't come quick enough for Vaughan. He had been up all night with worry. His bruise had healed well enough that the apprentice that Teo had ordered to tend to Vaughan's needs was happy enough to leave him alone now, but he had been given strict orders, not to overexert himself at all. That did not mean he had listened, of course. He paced the edge of the woods for the best part of the night, even though he knew Fenryn would not be likely to return so soon. The other half of the night he spent his time checking on Lynnette. She seemed to have lost quite a bit of colour in her cheeks since she first had been hit by the spell, but she was still alive and he had to be thankful to Teo's skill for that. Naturally, all this worry kept him from any real sleep and now he had less patience for those around him. Most of the Knights kept their distance from Vaughan, for fear that he would force them into some unreasonable training exercise. Only a few people braved g
Adventures Of the Crown: The Purple Wolf and the Enerawyn CH46
The morning sun had not yet disturbed Fenryn from his sleep. The little wolf was curled up next to him, her ears twitching every so often as a fly landed on them. The two seemed quite happy to stay asleep all day, but the unicorn had other ideas. He had woken up before dawn and for a time, he wandered about the area of the woods that they had stopped to rest in. He had taken the moment to feed himself and to watch a small family of foxes playing. Once they had returned to their den, the unicorn returned to his new companions. Lowering his head, the unicorn prodding Fenryn's cheek with his horn. The man grumbled something or other that included another human's name, then rolled over onto his other side. The unicorn made a disgruntled noise before it decided to 'walk' over Fenryn and 'accidentally' hit the King's head with his hooves. Fenryn woke with a start and sat straight up, startling the pup in the process. “What-what was that!?” He almost yelled as he looked aro
Adventures Of the Crown: The Purple Wolf and the Enerawyn CH47
Another whole day passed by before Fenryn saw the familiar shapes of human buildings. The mist had almost lifted entirely during the journey back to the village, though he never once saw another Fae during that time. He was curious about it, but the clan leader named Athera gave no explanation on the matter and merely smiled at him. Fenryn wondered if the Fae merely knew without communication, but he could tell that he would get no answers. At least not from Athera. He wondered if Lynnette would explain it more to him later.If she survived...The clan seemed overly nervous when they reached the edge of the woods and Fenryn could tell that they very rarely came this close to human civilisation. Some of them seemed less afraid, but not by much. He wondered if those had a little more experience than the others when dealing with humans, but it couldn't have been much, especially when comparing them to the Malruthiia.He attempted to calm them down, but no matter wh

It was another few hours before Teo knocked on the door to alert Fenryn and Vaughan that the procedure was over and that Lynnette would survive. Though despite this, Teo had a worried look written all over her face. As the two moved into the room, Lynnette was still in bed. She was not awake, and Athera sat next to her on a stool.The elder woman looked over to Fenryn as he and Vaughan entered. She seemed as worried as Teo and this worried the King.“She'll be fine, won't she?” He asked cautiously. “We got back in time, didn't we?”Athera's lips thinned, as she returned her attention to Lynnette. She placed a cool cloth on the woman's forehead to keep the fever down. She then said uneasily, “we could not remove all the venom, but she will survive.”Teo moved into the room and took a small bowl from the bedside table. Within the bowl was a small metal object. “It was a good thing you brought Athera here, as she kne

An hour passed by before Fenryn sent a few people to 'search' for Asher. He wanted to give the illusion that the man had escaped, and that he wanted to re-capture him. He knew the man would be long gone by now, and with Vaughan's spies keeping track of the man, he wasn't too worried that someone would find him. Fenryn wasn't sure if he wanted to re-capture Asher for real just yet, and Vaughan had said that it might prove beneficial to allow the man to go if only to find out what his next plans were.Athera gave the news that Lynnette had finally awakened, and seemed to be doing well. Though Fenryn could tell that his friend was not her usual self. She seemed to be unable to move much and some parts of her seemed unable to move at all. Sometimes Lynnette's hand movements would be fine, but now and then she would lose the ability to grip anything.It was obvious that she would not be able to continue her Knight duties if she ever was able to function properly as a person
Adventures Of the Crown: The Purple Wolf and the Enerawyn CH50
Several weeks passed since the bandits had been dealt with, and things had mostly returned to normal. Fenryn and Vaughan had returned to the castle, but they had reluctantly left Lynnette in the village. She had wanted to go back with them at first, but Athera convinced her to stay there until her health improved, if it ever did.In the meantime, Athera agreed to stay in the village with her. There she acted as Fenryn's diplomat between their people. She couldn't guarantee that other clans would want to work alongside humans, but she offered what help she could give. The clan was unsure of their leaders choice, but in the end, they too made the village their temporary home and offered to help bridge any gaps between their races.Lynnette was able to move around with the help of the Rattus' invention. A chair with wheels. It wasn't a perfect mode of transportation, and she had to be pushed if she wished to travel anywhere, but she felt better with what little freedoms i

The wooden stocks around Asher's wrists felt like they were cutting into his skin. He could feel it rubbing and with each movement, it sent a wave of sharp pain throughout his arms. He wasn't too impressed by being caught and locked up again and he gave the two men a smile that dripped with hatred. “Asher,” Fenryn said as he ignored the man's smile, “how nice of you to join us.” “Not by choice, but here I am,” Asher replied, he looked between the King and Vaughan for a moment. “I'm surprised you even found me. How was it that you did that, hmm?” He then asked. “Oh, my people get around,” Fenryn said with an air of politeness, “we wanted to ask you some more questions if that is fine with you?” “Do I have a choice?” Asher asked in return. The knight escorting him, forced Asher to his knees before Vaughan waved the man away. “You always have a choice,” Vaughan said as he waited for the three of them to be alone, “you could refuse and then I'd fi
