Waking up was more difficult than normal. Kestrel blinked a couple of times before attempting to move. It almost felt like she had a hangover but she knew she hadn’t gone out drinking the night before. All she could remember clearly was going to the library in the neutral area because she needed a book for an assignment and then there was just a fuzzy blank. Slowly she sat up. At first she just wanted to lie back down to get rid of the headache. Then she realised that she was in a room she had never been in before. Breathing deeply she slipped off the bed, her unexpectedly bare feet touching carpet. There was no doubt in her mind that something bad had happened when she was in the neutral area because neutral didn’t mean safe. Nowhere was safe and she was sure she had been careful. Obviously she hadn’t been careful enough.

“I wasn’t planning on dropping her at all,” Heliopath muttered, wondering why he had made the decision to put his bed so far away.

Trying not to focus too hard on what he was doing Heliopath stood and picked Kestrel up. The moment that she was in his arms he knew he should have got someone else to carry her upstairs for him. With that one action he was reminded of things that he really didn’t want to be reminded of. It had been a long time since he’d stopped to think about why he’d made the choices he had, partly because he didn’t want to but mostly because he’d not had the time to. Breathing deeply he walked out of the room.

Heliopath watched Kestrel breathe. Occasionally someone was allergic to sleep spells and that could cause major problems. It didn’t seem like she was, but that didn’t stop him from worrying. Sleep spells in general were difficult to get right. People would either make them too weak, so the target wouldn’t sleep for long enough, or they would make them too strong, which would lead the target to sleep for a lot longer than they should. Most people bought them, even if they were in a position to make them, and there were a lot of mages who never got to the position where they could use sleep spells. Purple level was the hardest to get past because of the hallucinations that came with the normal withdrawal symptoms.

It had been a long fight to the top for Heliopath and once he was there he didn’t stop fighting. He wasn’t fighting simply for the sake of fighting, although it had become something he was too used to for his own good, but because he had a vision. The town shouldn’t be fractured the way it was. There was no need for the different groups of mages all fighting each other for a reason they couldn’t even remember any more. Sighing he looked at the map. Getting everyone together was a lot harder than he’d expected it to be.
