Dagger just rolls his eyes at Stellaâ€™s I told you so look. He was about to say something when a monk comes up to them. â€œStella and Dagger the elder monk wishes to see you.â€ He says.  Dagger raises an eyebrow, wondering what it was all about. He follows after Stella and the monk, who leads them to the elder monkâ€™s chambers. They see that the elder monk is laying on his bed, looking extremely sickly. â€œStellaâ€¦â€ he says in a weak horse voice. Even before the elder monk could say it, Dagger could tell that he was dying. â€œStellaâ€¦my time is coming nearâ€¦.I can feel it in my bones.â€ He says to her. He reaches a hand out to her and holds her hand. â€œThe monks and I have decided when my time comes and I pass away, that you shall take over in my place as the elder monk of the temple since you have been her longer than the other monks.â€ He says to her. Dagger puts his arms on Stellaâ€™s shoulders trying to calm and comfort her.  Then the monk that led them there comes up to them, â€œWe fear that he may not make it until morning.â€ He says.
