Nesham left Carinna half-asleep in his room, ignoring the fact that she had her own place to rest. Seeing her in that demon’s clutches had nearly done him in. He didn’t question it, but he had somehow been able to see her even when she turned into that ghostlike form she seemed so fond of.

He hadn’t been able to see the demon chasing her but had seen the demon reel back from a blow she gave him, had watched the creature shriek and turn into nothingness. Then he’d caught Carinna in his arms before she’d fallen to the ground.

Unable to shake the adrenaline still coursing through his body, he left Carinna to check on Mikhel. He passed Koneru leaving Mikhel’s room and nodded to the large Rovi.

He stepped into the room to see Mikhel the picture of glowing health as he reclined on his bed.

“Mikhel,” he said softly with the ghost of a smile. “How are you feeling?”

“Like I’m going to tear someone apart the next time they ask me ‘how I’m feeling,’” Mikhel frowned. His poor attitude at being confined gave Nesham a huge sense of relief.

“Good, good,” Nesham murmured as he took a seat next to the irritated Fenturi. The large man’s blue eyes glowed with irritation and his body had nary a scar to mar his perfection. A full-blooded Fenturi, Mikhel had more energy than a normal human, even more than Nesham.

“So tell me about the scene I missed earlier,” Mikhel urged. “I heard it outside the ship, so loud was the commotion through the open portals. I would have joined you but Jace stopped me in a way that I don’t quite understand,” he said puzzled.

Nesham shook his head. “I too saw Jace do something rather odd too, to you,” he said and explained how Jace had seemed to heal him. “I think in fact our captain has secrets that none of us are privy to.”

“Hmm,” Mikhel mused. Then he stood, clad only in long loose flowing trousers. His hair shone and his body glowed and yet he seemed somewhat restless. Nesham had the uneasy feeling that Mikhel needed female companionship. He was after all a Fenturi in his prime and now fully healed. Nesham’s thoughts turned to Carinna and he frowned.

“Problem?” Mikhel asked, studying Nesham. “You know Nesham, it’s funny but you seem much lighter of heart than you have been in many moons.”

“Maybe,” Nesham muttered. “You seem fully recovered,” he blurted. “Do you recall what happened to you in Dark World?”

Mikhel frowned. “It’s odd but I don’t recall our landing there. I remember Lord Demise taking me from my cell and—” he froze, his eyes darkening at some remembrance.

“Mikhel?” Nesham asked worriedly.

“Never mind,” Mikhel said harshly. “Nesham, I need to rest.” And so saying he turned his back on his brethren, shutting him out.

Nesham stared at him worriedly but left quietly, his thoughts to report this new situation to Jace. But when he entered the control room, he found Jace almost asleep in his chair.
