Two hours later, we stood outside the count's residence, staring up at his bedroom window.
I handed the spirit prison to one of the dwarves.
"Do not open that. Don't let anyone else open that." I said firmly. "Go abd put it in the count's office, beside the other two. Don't be seen."
The dwarf's eyes flickered to Severen who nodded. "Do as he says, then return to the Maiden's Blush."
Another crisp salute and the dwarf made his way to the back of the residence.
I felt Ilargia begin to warm up on my back.
He's waking up.
"How are we going to get the count up there?" Severen asked, studying the window.
"Ilargia's going to fly him up." I replied. "The spirit prison is far enough away that my power is returning."
I put Ilargia on the ground and lay the count on top of him.
"Alright, old friend. Steady now. Don't let him fall."
- I hate those books. He said sullenly.
I laughed. "Me too, Ilargia. We'll meet you soon."
