"WHAT we thought the heart of the Moon Serpent was turned out to be a lump of Mana, Lady Soleil," Solenn reported to her. "The Moon Serpent's Mana is alive so it's 'breathing.'"
"Does it make sense that the Moon Serpent's Mana is alive and he isn't?" Soleil asked weakly. She had been bedridden since last night. After finding out that the 'baby' in her womb was nothing but a shell that protects a lump of Mana, she couldn't find the courage to leave the bed. Worse, Kalel hadn't returned yet since he left a few weeks ago. "How did we not detect it until now?"
The Sun Priestess bowed to her. "My deepest apologies, Lady Soleil."
"You don't have to apologize to me, Solenn," she said. "It's not your fault."
"Lady Soleil…"
She smiled sadly at the Sun Priestess. "Solenn, I want to rest. I'm tired."
Solenn nodded, then she bowed to her politely. "Rest well, Lady Soleil."
After that, the Sun Priestess left the room quietly.
