"I really doubt that," Ronan said firmly. "This is Aeron we are talking about. Do you remember how his fighting skills had grown? He was almost unbeatable."
Yvarra crossed her arms. "Yes, that is true. But don't forget, he said he would be back in three days. It has now been five, and there is still no word from him."
Ronan shook his head. "Even at that, I still doubt something is wrong with Aeron."
"Five days, Ronan," Yvarra replied "Five days. Don't you think it is strange? Don't you think it is unlike him? Even his mother has not heard from him. Remember when he traveled to the capital? He wrote letters all the time, almost every week. But now? No letters, no trace of him, not even news of where he is. I am telling you, something is wrong."
Ronan became quiet. Yvarra continued, and then Dra… she glanced around and noticed some of the others were listening, and then she lowered her voice. She stepped closer to Ronan and whispered, "And have you noticed Draco lately?"
