Sage was happier to have a long, hot bath than she was for the food she had eaten. After her stomach was full, she lay in bed and let out a long sigh while Katherine covered her with a heavy white duvet.
She had caught up on Sage's brief adventure but still could not believe it.
"So this ice god Alistair saved you from that shriek, which was a call from the Statkus portal?" She asked for clarification on everything.
Sage just yawned, then nodded.
Katherine sighed deeply. "There are no missing mages, implying that the call was intended only for you."
Sage pressed her lips to those words, deeply grateful. But then, realizing it was only two days until Cyrus' birthday, she pushed herself into a sitting position, gasping in surprise. "I need your help!"
Katherine was caught off guard. "What? You need to be careful. You need to recover from all the fighting."
