Our second world- Book two: War is coming

Chapter 32

~Haren~

He was in Elise's office looking over reports at his desk when Silver came to find him. Titanya was with him along with one other person.

"Silver? What are you doing here?" Haren asked, not looking up from his work.

"Well Major? I think you have something to say."

Haren looked up to see August standing awkwardly behind Silver. His eyes trained to the floor.

"U-um... well... I just wanted to say... I'm sorry." He stuttered, his face turning a light shade of pink as he continued to avoid eye contact with Haren.

"I thought you were mad at me," Haren said," I said a lot I shouldn't have and I'm sorry."

"Do you forgive me?" August's eyes finally made their way up to Haren's.

"Of course!" Haren felt a wet spot grow on his shirt when he walked over to pull August into a hug.

"Great. Now that you've made up, there's something Titanya needs our help with. I'd like to get some decent sleep tonight so let's get on with it." Silver's voice cut through the brief silence that filled the room.

"What is it?" Haren glanced to the green haired girl standing in the corner of the room.

She was picking at her nails and looked up at her name," What? Oh yes. That." Titanya pushed off the wall and moved to the three boys in a few long strides. Her eyes sparkled with excitement as she spoke," I want to do an experiment with the three of you."

"What kind of experiment?" August asked.

"I think I've found the source of the energy I was looking for when I first met you." her smile widened.

"One of us?" Silver guessed.

"Not one of you, all of you." Titanya's excitement was so strong she was practically bouncing up and down," I'd like to examine the three of you. Haren? Can you and August wait in the hall?"

Haren nodded and followed August out of the office where they sat on the floor by the door/ They waited for about ten minutes when Silver walked out and August went in. Similarly, ten minutes ticked by and Titanya called for Haren.

When he walked into the office he found that Titanya had dragged two chairs to face each other in front of the princesses desk. She was sitting in one so Haren took the other.

Haren waited for a moment, but all she did was stare at him. Well... her eyes seemed to stare through him instead.

"K I'm done," It felt like only moments since he'd sat down, but when he stood, his back was sore," Can you call the others in?"

After taking a moment to stretch, he moved to the door and motioned Silver and August in from the hall. Titanya pulled over two more chairs and the three of them sat down opposite her.

"Yes, I'm sure of it now. The energy I was looking for comes from the three of you when you're about 10 yards from each other," She said," I'd like to test what it can do tomorrow."

"We'll have to ask the princess, and Silver has training tomorrow," Haren said.

"Then I'll do that and come find you with her answer," Titanya replied.

"If that's all, I'm going to bed," Silver announced, standing up," night."

The next morning as he was heading to his office after breakfast, he ran into Titanya. She was waiting outside the office door examining her nails. She looked up when he walked over.
