Ashland Kingdom:
Storm had slept off after much thinking about his mother and by the time he woke up it was night.
'How can I fall asleep when I was thinking?'
Storm pondered as his gaze once again landed on his mother's mantilla which was in his bed. In fact he had used it as his pillow.
She didn't take this with her when she took him to this Palace years ago and even though she was gone, she left her mantilla behind which was unlike her.
"I just want to see you again, to know you are okay even though you hurt me," Storm said to himself as he stopped himself from breaking down. A knock on his door Interrupted his thoughts and he cleared his throat and went to open the door. He thought it was Gwen until he opened his door and saw the face of the guard he remembered. "Yes."
