It tastes horrible!\" Neveah grumbled in disgust as she handed the bowl of tonic back to Estelle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neveah had awakened to find she was in Menarx’s quarters, Estelle and Menarx were also with her and it seemed Everon had taken his leave not so long ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All Neveah’s injuries had been well tended to and wrapped up and though Neveah still healed slowly, she would recover in a short time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tonic Everon had left behind was also to help Neveah heal faster, though it tasted like it would do quite the opposite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had taken Neveah a moment to find her bearings and recall all that had happened back in the forest and now,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neveah just sat against her headboard and tried not to think of anything beyond the bitter taste on her tongue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not as though thinking of it herself would bring Neveah any concrete answers, the person who held the answers Neveah needed was out on the balcony.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Lord Everon says you have to drink it all up.\" Estelle insisted, lightly pushing the bowl back to Neveah’s lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neveah frowned slightly, but she took the bowl and downed the rest of the tonic in one gulp, her face scrunched up in disgust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Good girl.\" Menarx commended as he walked back into the room, behind him was a quiet Kaideon whose gaze was fixed on Neveah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neveah’s own gaze was also fixed on Kaideon and for a long moment, neither of them said a word till Neveah broke the stare, clearing her throat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll take that.\" Estelle said, taking the empty bowl from Neveah, she placed it aside before she got up to her feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’ll go let Dante know you are conscious, he has been very worried but Everon would not permit a crowd here and only allowed me to tend to you.\" Estelle excused herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you.\" Neveah said with a small smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m just relieved that you are fine, Neveah. Truly.\" Estelle said, breathing a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Estelle glanced between Neveah and Kaideon for a moment before she headed out of Menarx’s quarters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the door was closed, Neveah was left with Menarx, Kaideon and an extremely awkward silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I should leave you two to talk... figure things out.\" Menarx took the initiative.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But...\" Neveah began to protest, as she was not sure she wanted to face whatever Kaideon had to say alone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are fine, beloved. I will be right outside, not even an inch away from the door.\" Menarx assured, he walked over to Neveah’s bedside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leaning down, Menarx placed a light kiss on Neveah’s forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hear him out, I have known Kaideon all my life. He would never make a claim he is uncertain of. But if it gets uncomfortable, call and I’ll be here to toss him back to the White Dunes.\" Menarx whispered to Neveah.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neveah nodded slowly, Menarx’s words calmed her uneasy heart and brought a smile to her lips.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Menarx passed Kaideon a warning look before he strode out, shutting the door behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, Neveah was left alone with the Dune Lord and his absurd claim that Neveah could not quite understand or believe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Menarx is not that much stronger than I am in battle...by the way.\" Kaideon broke the silence with the most unexpected words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Neveah blinked, staring at the Dune Lord in disbelief and he cringed visibly, as if just realising what he had said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My apologies, I did not intend to say that out loud...it has been a while, since I did this talking thing.\" Kaideon murmured, still standing in place a far distance from Neveah’s bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as though he was scared if he came too close, Neveah would jump out of the bed and run off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Admittedly, that was not entirely off the table.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sit...you can sit.\" Neveah said quietly, gesturing to the seat beside her bed, or Menarx’s bed to be more accurate since this was infact Menarx’s quarters on the second level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kaideon nodded and walked over, taking a seat by Neveah’s bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Again, they fell into silence and Neveah had no words to break the silence. It was not an awkward kind of silence, just a strange and uncertain silence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A silence where neither party knew what to say or dared say what they had to for fear that the other party would not take kindly to it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the kind of silence weighed down by confusion, contemplation and a myriad of emotions that were hard to put in words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was the kind of silence that spoke even louder than words would, yet so fragile that it could be shattered by the pains and heartache a single word could evoke at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What did one even say in this situation? What were the right words to say to something that would change all that they had ever known?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... I know this is all so confusing for you...\" Kaideon finally braved the first words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I would guess it is the same for you...\" Neveah murmured quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... Neveah, I know...my dragon knows that you have my blood. It’s just... there’s just this feeling and I know you feel it too...\" Kaideon began, his words were jumbled, an expression of how his thoughts were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do not know what I feel, Kaideon.\" Neveah replied with a heavy sigh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A few months ago, I watched my father... the only father I have ever known trade me off to the dragons...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"For five hundred of a thousand dragon gold.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Five hundred of a thousand dragon gold...Between my own family and the dragons, a strange specie I had only ever read off in books,\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That was as much as I was worth...What was a myth to my knowledge bought me off from my father right before my eyes and I could say not a word for myself... I have never forgotten this for even a moment, I did not dare to.\" Neveah said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Veah...\" Kaideon began in a pained tone but Neveah shook her head slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was difficult enough to piece together her words and if she did not say them now, Neveah was not certain she would summon the courage to say them again.\u003C\u002Fp>",1042,"2026-06-05T21:38:30.128Z",1,"novelbin.me","60f8f751f46aff6e68cbb532e4c0ce2ccc6235b030861b0a31c319b88dbf99f3","omega-s-rebirth-chapter-374","omega-s-rebirth-chapter-372",929,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fomega-s-rebirth-cover.jpg"]
