Vasili stared out of the window as he reveled in the warmth of the sun. Though his body and neck hurt, the pain was bearable. Weakness and light headedness pushed him back on the bed as he tried to get up. 

There was no one in the room and Vasili sighed to himself, hoping for anyone to enter and help him get up. He so desperately wanted to leave the bed that made him feel as though he was on his death bed, even if he was not.

Just as he was about to mind link someone of his kind for his help, his friend, Azimir entered with a grave expression on his face, startling him for an instant. Soon, he controlled his expression and welcomed him with a smile.

"Azimir, would you mind helping me get up? I want to..." Vasili stopped when he saw his friend's somber expression and his smile vanished at once.

"Azimir," He called him only to meet silence. He waited for some time as he observed the myriad of emotions passing through his eyes and the ones that stood out the most were anger and grief.

Vasili frowned in wonder as he thought the reason for his strange behavior. 'Did something happen? Why is Azimir behaving this mysteriously?'

His frown deepened when Azimir did not even look at him. Vasili was tired of lying on this bed and he pushed himself, forcing his body even though he felt quite lethargic from staying on the bed for a long time. Pain shot his injured neck and he sucked in a deep breath as he stilled in his place.

Vasili's gasps brought Azimir out of his dreadful thoughts and his eyes widened when he saw his ignored friend in anguish. He sat beside him and helped him to sit up, placing the pillow behind him for his support.

"Why did you not ask for help, Vasili? You are injured and you cannot exert more stress on your wounds." Guilt flashed through his eyes and Vasili sighed lightly when he heard his concerned and remorseful words.

"I called you Azimir. You did not respond. Where are you lost?" Vasili queried as he tilted his body, supporting his head weight more on his uninjured shoulder. "Is something the matter?"

Azimir pursed his lips and lowered his head when he recalled the frightful matter he had just heard from his Gamma. Just the thought of Aylin dealing with all the misery all alone sent tremors of pain through his heart. His wolf was threatening to come out and rush towards her to provide her comfort at this time. Aylin was too vulnerable now and she needed someone who she trusted at this time.

"Yes, Vasili. There is something I would wish to speak about. I have someone I care about the most and she...."

"Is it the Commander of Aranill?" Vasili interrupted him and Azimir was taken aback by his brilliant deduction. He stayed mum, impressed by his friend's smartness. His ears turned red as embarrassment settled in and a faint smile adorned his lips.

"How did you find out?"

"I did not miss how much you were entranced by her when we met her the first time on that first night of the moon. It must be her if you are this affected." Vasili teased. "As far as I know she was the one only female you met in that past few days and it must be she who influenced you to this extent."

Azimir's face turned soft on hearing his friend and fondness and indulgence made their way in his eyes. Vasili was stunned to see the changes in his friend and he moved back a little to observe him clearly. Clearly, he was behaving unusual.

The man in front of him who had stopped showing his care and concern openly after his parents ' deaths was now displaying his emotions in front of him, and Vasili was having a hard time comprehending and accepting this change. Azimir's cold eyes held a spark in them as though his entire existence had lit up just by the mere mention of the woman he adored in his heart.

Vasili's respect for the lady commander who he was yet to get familiar with increased and he gave her his approval silently, not once questioning what Azimir even felt about her or how the lady herself felt for him. Azimir's peculiar actions were enough of an indication for him and his inkling told him that the bold commander of Ideni would surely be the Queen of Ideni one day.

"Azimir, you were speaking something." Though Vasili did not mind the silence in the room, he had sensed his friend's distracted gaze. Something was definitely bothering him and it had to do with him woman who occupied his heart now.

Azimir's face hardened and his eyes darkened in fury the next instant. "She met with a disaster the moment she returned home."

"What happened?" Vasili frowned in worry and his lips formed a thin line while he waited for Azimir to continue.

"Her entire family was murdered and she...."

"You need to go to her." Vasili intervened again, this time his voice filled with resolve. 

"What?" Azimir was rendered speechless for a moment as he gave him a baffled look. 

"If you truly care for her, you must go to her now. She needs you more, especially now that she has no one by her side." 

"I wanted to speak the same with you. I have already asked Zavid to prepare for my departure."

Vasili nodded at him in appreciation before he realized the reason he was here.

"Do not worry about Ideni. Zavid and I will take care of it in your absence," He assured him. "Moreover, Father is here to help us."

"Thank you, Vasili. Thank you so much. I am sure with you around, I have nothing to worry about." Azimir patted Vasili's hand and smiled in relief. "Zavid must have prepared everything I need. I will have to leave now, Vasili. Please take care of yourself."

Vasili watched Azimir hurrying out of the room before his face turned sorrowful. He stared out of the window as melancholy surrounded him. "Azimir, the path you and Commander have chosen is filled with bloodshed.. I just hope you two have the strength to bear with them and accept everything that you will be facing soon."
