Eternal Spirit

Part 22

The calm breathing of the young Amazon filled the silence in the room. Dark shadows danced on the walls through the windows captivating the light of the full moon. An Amazon child groggily rubbed the sleepiness from her eyes and yawned softly. “Momma?” The child looked up resting her head against the Amazon’s shoulder. “Is Ren going to be okay?”

Solari wrapped her arms around her daughter tightly and kissed the top of her head. She studied the peaceful expression that trickled on her partner’s face as she slept. “Yes Lea, she is going to be just fine.” She smiled warmly at the child. “She will wake up as good as new soon.”

“But how come she is sick?” Confusion settled on the child’s face.

“We went over this Lea, remember?” She stroked the child’s hair comfortingly.

Lea nodded meekly. “He is a bad bad man. He hurt Ren and Gabrielle and Eph. I wish I was big so I could not let him be bad to no one anymore.” She folded her arms across her chest heatedly.

Solari sighed softly. “I know love, I know. Don’t worry he won’t be able to hurt anyone anymore. I promise.” Solari paused and turned her attention to the door to the healer’s hut just in time to greet Epinon whom quietly made her way to Solari’s side.

Epinon caressed Serenity’s cheek softly and questioned in a hushed whisper. “How is she doing Solari?”

Solari patted her friend’s hand. “She is going to be okay. The last of the herb has left her system. She just needs some rest.” She smiled tenderly as she lifted Lea from her lap. She stood the child up and faced her. “Lea it is time for you to head to bed. Go on with Pony and I will be there soon to tuck you in.”

A frown wrinkled on the child’s face. “But I wanna stay with Ren!”

Solari gave the child a stern look. “You can see Ren tomorrow. Now, scoot to bed.” She pointed towards the exit of the hut.

Epinon grinned at the exchange in amusement. She reached down and lifted the child in her arms. “C’mon little one let’s get a move on before momma gets mad.” She tickled her playfully. “I’ll tuck her in and make sure she gets to bed Solari. Gabrielle is waiting for you. Me and Miss Lea will be just fine.”

“Wait Pony! I have to kiss Ren night night!” She struggled in her arms to get free. The Amazon gently lowered the squirming child to the bed beside Serenity. Lea placed a soft kiss on her cheek. “Love you Ren.” She whispered sweetly.

Solari swatted the child on the rear playfully. “Get a move on now.” She shook her head in delight at Epinon and her daughter as they left the hut giggling. She stood by Serenity’s side gazing down at her in deep thought. After a moment elapsed, she softly kissed her forehead slightly troubled. “I’ll be back Ren. I need to squeeze some answers out of that Queen of yours.” She smiled light-heartedly and headed towards the entrance of the Queen’s hut.
