The light within the Upper Umbra begins to cool as it turns into the next night. The closed eyes of Fei slowly stir open revealing their soft green tone that slide from one side of his eye sockets to the other as they look around the dimmed room, Fei's body resting softly on the bed, the maids still around him making it as a first ascent to the heaven.
Children can be heard playing in the fields around the palace, people walking down the small cobblestone streets leading to large towns and even cities in the greater distance where the Kedo army works on rebuilding, led by Tukedo. All seems well except the sickenning feeling that won't go away in Fei's soul.
Slowly pulling himself up, Fei finds himself in a sitting position on his bed, pulling his hair back, away from his face, then sliding his legs to the side of the bed where he steps down on the soft greyish black carpet.
With a great stretch Fei awakens for the night, his balcony doors swinging open to reveal the nice cool breeze of the night which slides gently into his room, wrapping around his body before circulating through the emptied palace.
Walking out to his balcony, Fei looks down on the small children playing and smiles, the glowing gold souls stretching into the distance make the darkened purple shade something to admire, as fire flies roaming playfully through the midnight sky.
"..... it's already been one night here without you.... This sickening feeling won't leave as Gima said it would... that I can tell by now.... it's just getting harder and harder, the emptiness just growing the farther you are away from me.... does this emptiness have an end? I'm hoping everything is going alright... but you are a big girl now... I'm trusting the others with our safety.... I have much work to get to.... I guess all I can do is just hope for the best...." Fei whispers in his mind as if somehow, Tamrissa could hear them, as if some part of her was right there infront of him. The grim reality finally catching ahold of him makes him realize that she cannot hear it, but gains some satisfaction out of what he's said letting himself open to what he is.
Stepping away from the balcony, Fei does his usual routine of getting ready to go outside, pulling off his cut up, beat up, three quarter falling off attire. The cuts all over his body, are held together on him by sticky, blood stained scabs,bubbling into a darker purple, the wounds completely shut though, the scabs products of the natural healing process as he slept.
After removing his clothes the servants take them away, allowing him to step into a bath already drawn for him, steam rising from the bathing room, making the soft gentle vines flow in grace as they coil all the way around the room, across the hard marble tiles and basin into the black obsideon tub.
Closing his eyes once again, Fei attepts to relax, the crystal clear water going hazy as it dissolves some of the scarring, letting him meditate under his own will as he focuses on trying to supress the sickening effects of the bond.
