I don't know, maybe

Writer's POV:

'Razar and I have never shared a bed before, he always leaves the room after taking a shower and goes to God knows where. But tonight seems different, he has taken a shower, and even had dinner, but he is still seated on the couch skimming through a book. I thought he would have left while the healer came but no he didn't. I have no idea if he is planning to stay on the bed with me or stay on the sofa.' Herdis thought to herself, while staring at Razar who was seated on the sofa not too far from the bed.

"You should sleep, it's quite late." His cold voice rang out

"I was about to."

"The rate at which your heart has been beating for the past few minutes suggests that you won't be sleeping any time soon."

"How do you know that?"

"Basic Anatomy or advanced Biology whichever one you choose to call it. But a person's heart rate must beat normally minutes or seconds before sleep kicks in."

"I have never heard of that."

"I didn't think you had, do you even know what a book is?"

"I can read"

"That doesn't make you Knowledgeable or educated."

"What?"

"Forget it, what are you thinking about that has made your heart beat so fast? What makes you so nervous?"

"Nothing exactly."

"Just say it and save the banter for later."

"Umm, I just thought that, I actually wanted to know where you will sleep tonight."

"Where should I sleep tonight?"

"It's rude to answer a question with a question."

"Is it now?"

"Yes it is."

"Answer this then, do you think that I am so heartless that I will chase you away from the bed to the sofa regardless of the fact that you have just recuperated?"

"I have no idea."

"Then do you see me as such a gentleman who is willing to give up the comfortable bed for you and stay on this rock hard couch?"

"I don't know, maybe"

"Wrong answers I am neither. I am neither that heartless nor gentle, I am neutral"

"What does that mean?"

"That means that we are both adults and we should have a certain level of self control, and self consciousness. Besides I said it before I don't find you appealing in any way."

'It's good you don't find me appealing, I need to survive till Ceres finds a way to get me out of this mess.'

"That means you are staying on the bed?"

"Yes I am, but I must warn you though, werewolves lack self control when it comes to the dealings of women."

'What is wrong with him?' Herdis asked herself.

"Weren't you preaching about self-control earlier? What's this about werewolves lacking such traits?"

He ignored Herdis and stood up, then walked all the way to the bed, and laid on it with a mischievous smirk on his face.

Herdis had no idea when she slept off, she kept on trying to fight the sleep but all efforts seemed futile.

<< 

No particular day was stated for the Birth Of Creekside, it was only said that it would sprout flowers on or between the next five days. And three days have passed since the Prophecy, that is the very first day the letter was received, the day Razar and Herdis started their journey to Brussels and the day they arrived at Brussels. So its Birth may be either today or tomorrow.

Razar stepped out earlier. He was either sparring with someone or he was probably having a discussion with King Negah, while Herdis has been taking her time to dress up with Rebekah's assistance.

It is time for breakfast and both Razar and Herdis will be having breakfast in the dining hall with the whole family.

The dining hall here in the Witchers Cavern is slightly different from the normal dining halls out there.

'The whole Witchers Clan is strange, it's filled with Hierarchical bullshit.' Herdis commented inwardly.

The Witchers Clan is divided in two parts, The Witch's Cavern and The Wizard's Cavern, the Witch's Cavern is the Royal Castle situated at the center of both Caverns. The Witch's Cavern is headed by a Queen who is Chosen by Creekside, while the Wizards Cavern is ruled by a King Chosen by merit.

Each time a new Queen is chosen she spends the next Six mom of her life learning every spell that is only restricted to the Queen, and she is trained on how to perform other forbidden rituals in case of emergencies. After one year she Weds any man of her choice, then ascends the Throne to be made an Official Queen, while her husband becomes the new King of the Wizard Cavern. But due to the polygamous nature of men, especially Wizards. They are allowed to take as many wives as they want to. Which explains why Herdis have 18 sisters and 23 brothers.

Her Mother Queen Veronia, happens to be the fifth wife of King Negah.

Back to the dining hall, it's a hall filled with several tables and at the center is the main table for the King and the Queen Creek (Queen Trinah). Only a few people get to have a permanent seat there, the rest are just temporary. The temporary seats are chosen by favor, it's based on who achieved something good, while the permanent seats are for those that have alway achieved great things and are known as the pride, stars, and jewels of the Witchers Clan.

The permanent seats are occupied by:

Ohasis - the first son of King Negah and Queen Trinah.

Crimson - the eleventh son of King Negah.

Evergreen - the eighth daughter of King Negah and the first daughter of Queen Trinah, everyone believes she's the only one worthy of being the next Queen Creek.

Allure - the sixth daughter of King Negah.

Morgan - the eighteenth son of King Negah.

Keyleth - the seventeenth daughter of King Negah, (Everyone's favorite).

Penelope - the nineteenth daughter of King Negah (the last child of King Negah).
