Elleth looked at Oriana, he continued rowing. He was in shock, it was still on his pale face. Eckl had said he was giving his life for them!!! How could Oriana not do what he asked. He shook his head a few times, "I...."<br/><br/>Words failed Elleth, he opened and closed his mouth a few times, finally he pulled the oars in and set them down. The boat stopped moving.<br/><br/>"Look I am literally in the same boat as you! I have no idea what just happened but my master just died! He was the only family I knew! And he is GONE! Gone! His last words were spent with you!!! Not me, I don't have anything! Just a mission to protect you! By all the powers in this world I will do that! Not for you but for Eckl!"<br/><br/>Elleth's face was red now and he could feel a torrent of emotions flowing from him, the sea started to play illusions that were on Elleth's mind. All around them suddenly the air was filled with the scene from the school, Eckl running against the dark lord, people falling dead.<br/><br/>Elleth gasped and closed his eyes, trying to gain control he closed off his flow of magic, he gasped, the sudden flow of magic being stopped took his breath away.<br/><br/>"I.... I.... i'm sorry, I have never lost control like that.... I just can't believe it, he's gone Oriana! Gone!" Tears poured down Elleth's face, "Please tell me what he said to you. I need to know!"
