They were interrupted in their conversation by noises coming from the bed.

" Cale? "the two approached him, they could see he was still sleeping but it looked like he was having a nightmare.

Cale was breathing raggedly and sweating, writhing around as if in pain. You could hear words coming out of his mouth but they sounded incoherent.

" What are we doing ? Should we wake him up? "

Eruhaben hesitated, he wasn't sure if it was a good idea but seeing Cale like that made his heart ache.

"We have no choice, it's not good for him. Calm wake up" he gently tried to call her.

He waited a few minutes, before trying again this time a little harder

" Hold! "

The young master woke up, when he opened his eyes, a painful expression was written there with a slight hint of fear.

"Eruhaben-nim..."

"Yes it's me, you were having a nightmare"

Cale closed his eyes again and sighed before opening them again, the records wouldn't stop playing even when he slept. He felt exhausted even though he had just woken up.

"How are you ? "Eruhaben asked of course he wasn't well but he still had to ask, he knew what Cale was going to say anyway, like always.

"I'm... exhausted" he felt really exhausted, on top of his nightmares and his weak body, he had a headache from his ability and he was starting to feel hot.

The dragon was surprised that he admitted that he wasn't feeling well. He checked the magic stone connected to his heart, it was blinking again his heart was beating too hard, he also noticed Cale's reddened cheeks and touched his forehead to check his temperature. He frowned.

"Your pulse is too fast, I'll give you something, you also have a fever again. Ron can you go get me a basin of cold water"

Ron left to get what he needed. Meanwhile, the golden dragon gave him the medicine the doctors had given him to regulate his heart.

"It seems like he doesn't notice anything, I should tell him..." He delayed telling her about his illness for fear of adding stress to her.

He decided to focus on another discussion they needed to have, he would tell her later. Now it's time to continue the conversation about his ability, he wanted to know how they could help him. It might solve his other problems as well.

"Cale... what can we do to stop your ability? "

"...I should be able to...take back control,...but I'm...too exhausted to do so,...I can't sleep. ...Even now she is active..." blood was coming out of his nose as he spoke. Eruhaben quickly wiped it away.

"Blood is also one of the side effects, do you have any other effects?"

"Yes,...headache,...fever..."

"I see I think I can help you with these two problems and to help you sleep I..." he hesitated "I could stay with you, I can maintain a sleeping spell, while you sleep"

"I don't want to...if you yourself can't...sleep."

"I'm a dragon, I get tired quickly, unlike humans."

Cale was skeptical after seeing Eruhaben's face, he had black spots under his eyes, Cale frowned at the sight.

"Is that even what he looks like, he looks more tired than me?" »
