"Father."
While Kael was sleeping inside the Sanctuary with his children after the day's journey and training, Imperia called out.
The first one to wake up, however, wasn't Kael, but Igni.
"Father."
Imperia continued. Igni nudged his father as well. He didn't ask why Imperia was calling him. He knew his youngest sister was responsible; he trusted she wouldn't do something unnecessary.
Slowly, Vitaria and Cirri woke up as well, and only after about a minute of gentle nudging did Kael wake up.
"What is it?"
He questioned, his voice still groggy.
"It's Lavinia."
Imperia answered in a grim tone.
"What happened to her?"
Kael questioned, instantly waking up.
"…I believe it would be better if you see it on your own."
Kael nodded as he opened the portal. It was 4 in the morning; if Imperia wanted him to check on Lavinia right now, it definitely wasn't a small matter.
And it wasn't.
