Kasha waited a while then climbed back over to Nostros. She was trembling as she woke him up, again staring into his eyes. He woke up and like before he smiled this time he stroked her hair and sighed in relief.... then it was like a firey rage. She jerked away but he grabbed her. "Let me sleep!" He growled at her. She started to tremor his grip was way too tight. She couldn't back away.
"Crut!" Krits was ready to barge in out of instinct.
With a flash the towering Crut grabbed Nostros' wrist and pulled Kasha away from him. She scrambled to the wall and was panting heavily.
"Give me your rage." He backed away and opened up his arms to give Nostros a clean blow. Crut was not fully pumped up.
Nostros jumped at him and began fighting. Nostros was no small Terrellian himself. The Kings line were always build large. The blows made Crut grunt, then Crut grew a bit as his own emotions took over. Then the blows were far less severe to him. Nostros attacked fiercely kicking and thrown pinches, even biting. He was like a rabid dog. It lasted about twenty minutes. Then Nostros passed out on the floor. Crut slowly picked him up and sat him on the bed in a loving manner.
Kasha couldn't help but be frantically upset. Krits and Evanna came in. Evanna ran and comforted Kahsa.
Krits placed his hand on Crut. "He damaged you that time."
"My father was deadly. If a Terrellian could tap into that on the battlefield they would be as effective as I.... well almost." Crut didn't fight Krits about the healing.
"Go back to your woman." Krits nodded. "He'll be out until morning."
"I see him for a moment then he turns into a monster!" Kasha cried. "He could have killed me." She started to hyperventilate.
"Shhh." Evanna grabbed her face. "You can do this."
"No..."
"Look at me." Evanna focused on her eyes. "Listen he will be done by tomorrow morning there is not another might for you to have a chance. We thought he had just started buy he's been at it for two days. You have one more chance... We all need this. Kasha, your people need him." Evanna started choking up herself.
"So he'll be a monster tomorrow?"
"He will have more control... but what he is tomorrow night is permanent. He will not be himself unless he loves you. He will die later if he does not let you in his heart. "
"Our hearts are beating together when he sleeps, and when the coldness comes back it jumps a different pace."
"Did you read my notes?" Crut took a noisy step.
"Yes."
"Sing while he sleeps, talk to him. Remind him of who he is, and when he wakes... give him light and kiss him." Crut teleported out after he spoke.
Krits nodded. "Drink more tea, do as he says."
Evanna didn't want to leave Kasha, but Krits instructed her to leave.
Kasha did as she was told. She sang allegories of his past experiences. Of her love for him, of his kingdom. Then the sun shone through the window.
