Iston meets Peregrin

We stayed a bit longer than planned with my friend Cyryl but I am overjoyed that him and his family are safe and sound, now they have power restored to their city. Hopefully things get better for them. My heart finally settles and is put to rest knowing both of my best friends are fine and safe, and yes Arlene and her family are doing well also. Their province, Reza was the next one we branched after Cyryl's and I was glad to see that they fared better. Thinking about how disheartened I was to see what happened to Cyryl's home in contrast to how Arlene's father, Zaide handled the situation.

''Would you like something to drink Princess Karina.'' Prince Peregrin draws me from my thoughts.

''What?'' I try to blink them back.

''A drink.'' He pours me a glass of a deep purple drink.

''I am fine thank you.'' I politely decline.

''Prince Iston?'' He offers.

''I have had lots to drink already.'' Iston follows suit, stating plainly.
