"Will she be alright?" Clovis asked after Kyera wiped the sweat from her brow . She thought for a long moment about how to answer .
"That"s a two part answer . Her body is weak, lack of food and the amount of damage to her system could still kill her . However, with both creatures out of her, I could feel a response from almost every part of her body . I can say for sure she will wake up . " Kyera"s words were certain of this at least . There was a second note to her voice that concerned him and a key word that stuck out .
Advertis.e.m.e.nt"Almost?" he asked and Kyera nodded slowly taking a deep breath . She had no idea how he would take this . How did she go about telling him?
"Your mother, The Empress will never walk again . The Doll Maker had completely eaten the energy lines that control her legs . " Kyera explained, her heart heavy . Clovis sat still for a moment and processed this .
"But her arms?" he asked his voice logical and monotone .
"She is undamaged otherwise . Her arms, neck, waist, is all fine . It"s just her legs . She will be able to talk and give hugs after she heals . " Kyera replied soothingly . All was not lost and her quality of life was not dire, he just had to get past that she would need help to move .
"Then it doesn"t matter . I will arrange for a sedan for her . If nothing else we will make a miniature cart and attach it to a dog . " Clovis replied stroking his mother"s hair from her face . His loving gaze was filled with tears as he realized she would be fine . He would hear her voice and see her smile again . He would see her happy, and that soothed his heart more than anything else .
Kyera smiled and gently touched his shoulder . "You need to tell your family . I will stay with her and get her presentable . " Kyera offered with a gentle smile . He nodded .
"Thank you, Lady Kyera . I owe you so much . " he spoke with true grat.i.tude and she nodded nudging him toward the door .
Once he left Kyera turned back to the Empress and the whole she left by her spine . Kyera jerked carefully dug out the infection before sewing her closed . Refreshing her clothes and laying her in bed properly only took Kyera a few moments . The Empress had lost so much weight that it was child"s play to move her since the creatures were gone .
She took a blue pill out of her pack as slipped it into the stomach wound before sewing it closed as well . Hopefully it would finish cleansing her system . Once that was completed Kyera pulled up the blankets and arranged her hair so The Empress looked comfortably sleeping . Just in time for the door to open .
She was surprised to see Mordrin alone, at the door . His eyes met Kyera"s and held them . Her breathing slowed as she felt the change in the air .
"We need to talk . "
