Chapter 16 Old friends reconnect

Orko was glad there was another Trollan on Eternia now. True his parents, uncle, aunt, cousin Snoob and best buddy Squonge would sometimes visit. But only for a short while. Dree Elle another childhood friend of his was staying at the palace for now. At moment she was recovering from her experience with the horde. Orko was being a good friend to her. Dree Elle appreciated his friendship. She wanted to be a good friend to him too.

Dree Elle finally after resting for several days was feeling better. First the first few days Dree Elle used a note pad to talk to others. She simply wrote down what want to say, or what she was thinking, or feeling.

"Okay Dree Elle try talking," Man at arms said. "It has been ten days without talking so let's see how you are doing now," he said. "Just take it nice and slow," he said.

"Remember listen to Man at arms I trust him to look after me when I am not well okay?" Orko said.

"Okay Orko," Dree Elle said. Her voice sounded nice and strong.

"Very good," Man at arms said. "I would advice you to still take it easy," he said. "You are still underweight from what Orko has explained to me and that you haven't had much rest during your time as a horde captive," he said.

"Yes," Dree Elle said. "Will I be able to sing?" she asked.

"Maybe but I advice you not to sing for a while still, your voice is still recovering, you maybe able to talk to now, but if you start singing right away you might damage your vocal cords badly and might need an operation," Man at arms said. "I have preformed many surgeries on humans and even animals, but I have never preformed surgery on a Trollan," he said. "I am grateful Orko and his family who sometimes visits gave me books to understand you Trollans bodies and medicine, so I just want to tell you that it probably won't be an easy task for me to say the least," he said.

"Okay," Dree Elle said. She sounded a bit disappointed. "What is good use is a song mage that can't sing?" she asked.

"Song mage?" Man at arms asked.

"A magician who casts spells and magic through music," Orko said. "They do it through special spells called song spells, they can do it through just an instrument, or song, or both." he said.

"Yes it depends on what song mage prefers, I can do both, but unfortunately I left most my instruments on Trolla, I managed to keep my instruments well hidden on myself from the horde." Dree Elle said. "But if I must wait before I can preform song spells again, I guess I can be patient," she said. "How long do I have to wait before you think I should try to sing again?" she asked.

"I will give it at least a week, two weeks at most, so it shouldn't be too long," Man at arms said. "You are also recovered enough to leave the medical wing," he said. "Your room is ready now and Orko can show you to your room," he said.

"Okay," Dree Elle said.

Orko lead Dree Elle to her room. "This is your room." Orko said. "My room is this one right here," he said pointing to the door on the left.

Dree Elle saw the room it was pretty much empty right now except for the bed. "The king and queen said once you feel more up to it you can make this room more personalized to you since it is your own space," Orko said. "They also thought you would be more comfortable in room next to mine so you won't be near anyone in the palace you don't know very well so you won't be so scared," he said. "I will introduce you to my other friends later," he said. "Until then try to settle in," he said. "My magic room is the room to the left of my bed room it is where I do my magic other than the forest," he said.

"That's nice," Dree Elle said. "I would like to see more the palace, Eternia and meet your other friends," she said.

"I would love for you to do that too," Orko said. "Man at arms has to give the okay though," he said.
