Malachi had spent the night with Ravina, and she was highly stressed, barely getting any sleep. She kept waking up with nightmares, and when it persisted, he decided to bring her sister, perhaps. It was early morning, and Ravina had still not gotten good sleep, and she kept tossing and turning. Hopefully, Darcy would be awake now and he needed to return briefly to the kingdom and tell Saul to take over for a while.
He left the room and walked down the long corridors of Ares's mansion, wondering where he could find Darcy. He focused his senses, hoping to get a hint when he suddenly heard voices outside. He walked further and looked out one of the large windows in the hall that showed the garden.
Darcy and Ares sat on a bench and Malachi was glad he found her quickly. As he hurried to find a way out, his footsteps slowed when he heard Ares speak.
"Can I ask what happened?" He heard Ares ask. "I can tell you haven't told Ravina anything."
