Faylinn laid in her side of her and Eldrin's bed. Coughing now and then. Her coughing had awakened Pharom but she had managed to get him fall back to sleep.

Suddenly, she heard knocking on the doors to her and Eldrin's chambers. "Faylinn! We know you're in there! Open the door before I unlock it myself!," Eldrin said angrily. "We just want to help you, dear,"Evindal said gently, "Thelmar is here to take a look at you," And Faylinn shook her head, "Go away! Leave me alone!," And Eldrin sighed, "Faylinn! I'm not leaving you alone with our infant son in there. We're coming in!," And Evindal unlocked the door to his son's and Faylinn's chambers and they entered the room.

Eldrin hurried over to his wife who laid in their bed on the side, shaking. "Faylinn? You're not well. You're sick. Why haven't you said anything?," Faylinn didn't reply. And Eldrin put a gentle hand on her shoulder, "Hey, Faylinn, look at me," And Thelmar went over to them, "Faylinn, you have to let me take a look at you," And Faylinn started coughing again.
"Eldrin, I need you to hold her so she doesn't try to run away again,"Thelmar explained gently. And Eldrin nodded and gently held his wife firmly. "NO! Let go of me!,"Faylinn screamed as she started struggling and shaking. "Shh, penneth, it's for your own good. I'm going to help you,"Thelmar explained gently as he put his hand on her forehead. "Faylinn, you have fever! How could you keep things like this from us?,"Thelmar asked angrily. And Faylinn started screaming, "Let go of me, Eldrin!," And Eldrin held her tighter, "Faylinn! Stop struggling!,"He exclaimed, trying to calm his wife. And Faylinn started crying. "NO! Let go of me!,"Faylinns screamed angrily which caused her to having another coughing fit. And Thelmar sighed as Aidan stormed into the room.
"Aurora, shh, I'm here,"Aidan said gently, trying to calm his sister. And Thelmar sighed, "Faylinn, were you given something by the demons?," And Faylinn swallowed, "Only water and some food," And Thelmar sighed, "That's what I thought. Gods can't get sick unless they've been poisoned," And Eldrin swallowed, "Thelmar, she's getting colder," And Faylinn started coughing again. "Hey, shh, penneth,"Thelmar said gently, "We're going to help you. But I need to test your blood to see what poison you may have been given," And Faylinn shook her head in fear, "Please, leave me alone!," And Eldrin pulled her into his arms instead of holding her from escaping, "Shh, it's alright. You're going to be alright. I'm here," And Thelmar gently took a blood test on Faylinn and left.

Thelmar and Aidan came back some minutes later. "Faylinn has demon venom inside of her. That may be the cause of her losing control of her magic too,"Thelmar explained gently, "But I have an antidote that will work. But she will need to take one drop every night with water before she go to bed. And one drop every morning," And Eldrin nodded.

Thelmar gave Faylinn a glass of water with a drop of the antidote and Eldrin helped her drink it. Faylinn immediately stopped shaking and Eldrin hugged her tightly, "It's going to be alright. You're going to be alright,"
And Faylinn swallowed and slowly started crying in her husband's arms and Eldrin hugged her tightly.
