Untitled Part 27

As Aki murmured her spell the prince's breathing started to return to normal. The Dragon Mother smiled. The spell was a success. "Welcome back Prince Edward." She said.

Edward sat up with the help of his father and grandmother. He rubbed the back of his head. "How long was I out?" He asked his father.

"Three days." His father replied.

The prince looked down at the sheet ashamed "I'm sorry for ruining our day together father. Are you ashamed of me?"

The king looked at his son with a smile in his eyes. "I am not ashamed of you my son. You have not ruined anything. I am happy to wait until you get your strength returns before we go hunting." Zachary looked at Aki. "Dragon Mother, go and get my wife. Tell her that our son is awake."

Aki bowed and left. She returned fifteen minuets later with Queen Elsa. The queen was in tears when she saw her son sitting up in his bed. She ran to him and hugged him unable to contain her joy that he was unhurt. "Edward, you worried your father and I. Do you remember anything?"

Zachary looked at his wife. "Let our son rest for now."

"REST? HE'S BEEN IN A COMA FOR THREE DAYS ZACHARY! HE'S HAD PLENTY OF REST." Elsa said in hysterics.

Edward smiled. "Mother, its ok. I'll be fine for now."

Zachary held his wife. "Elsa, be thankful that we have our son back. Not many parents are as lucky as we are."

The queen slapped her husband in her anger and joy. "I TOLD YOU THAT EDWARD WAS TOO YOUNG TO GO HUNTING!" She yelled sobbing into his chest.

"Guards, escort the queen to our chamber." The king said seeing the sate his wife was in.

Two Kingsgaurd, Ser Robert and Ser Seth came and escorted the queen out of the room. The led her back to hers and Zachary's bedchamber. Once they got her settled they stood outside the door so that no one could enter.

Zachary held his check were his wife and slapped him. "She shouldn't have done that." He said to his mother.

"She was overcome with emotion Zachary. She was happy that Edward was out of harms way. She was angry because she thought you were taking a huge risk in taking Edward out for his first hunting trip."

"I felt he was ready." The king said.

"I know my son. No that this has been taken care of we can figure out what caused your son to faint and hit his head."

Edward was thinking about what had happened to him. Then something occurred to the prince. "Grandmother, I think what caused me to faint was seeing the spirit of Ageon I."

The Queen Dowry looked at her grandson. "You saw Ageon I?" Where?"

"I was in the bathroom talking to him when something startled me. I turned but what I heard was a loud bang. It was dark so I couldn't really see what had made the bang. I tripped over my own feet and smacked my head on the sink and blacked out."

"That explains the bump on the back of your head." Katherine chuckled.

Edward smiled. "I guess so." It was good to make a joke about what had happened. It was nothing more then he tripping over his own feet in the dark.

Zachary managed a smile and he went to try to see if his wife was ok. The two Kngsgaurd that stood outside stepped to one side to let their king enter. The king entered the bedchamber to see his wife hiding her face in a pillow. "Elsa?"

Elsa threw the tear-stained pillow at her husband still upset. "WHY ZACARY? WHAT WERE YOU THINKING TAKING OUR SON ON A HUNTING TRPP WHEN HE'S 12!" It took ten minuets for the queen to calm down.

Zachary held her tight. "Its alright Elsa. Edward is ok. He tripped his own feet cause something startled him in he dark. He hit his head and blacked out."

There was a silence before the queen spoke again. "He was startled by something? Are playing tricks on me Zachary?"

"I'm not playing jokes on you my queen."
