The six days passed without any attempt from the world to prevent Damon from reaching the new moon.
He considered that suspicious.
On the first, he trained with Jian Yue until she admitted that his right side had finally returned to normal. On the second, Xue Lian managed to hit him with the shaft of her spear because Damon was distracted arguing with Xue Mei.
On the third, Ester stopped asking whether anything hurt.
That was probably the greatest sign of recovery.
On the fourth, Eir sent a message asking when he would return to the Valley.
Damon replied that it would be after Veyra.
The answer came shortly afterward.
"COME BACK."
He stared at the tablet.
"Was that an order?"
It took a few seconds.
"REQUEST."
"Better."
Another message appeared.
"BRING CAKE."
Damon closed his eyes.
Liora.
Naturally.
