'Do you see so little in me taran? I know you are slightly listening to me though you try to block me. I know that you have seen my beauty but yet you still see so little in me. Why? Do you love her?' asked nerasa telepathically.
Nerasa couldn't believe how little he saw in her how dare he.

Taran did as Aethelwyne told him, raising his face to the moon and slowing his breathing. Faintly at first, Taran could feel the power in the moon, its gift. Slowly, it grew in intensity until he could no longer bear it, sending him to the ground in a poof of sand, a faint whisper in his mind.

Aethelwyne released herself from the power of the moon as Taran fell to the sand. Kneeling down beside him she grasped his shoulders to look into his face. "Taran are you okay? What is it?"

Nerasa and marflamel landed back at camp and marflamel just said goodnight and fell asleep on the ground. Nerasa knew that he was tired and that she should be too but she couldn't sleep. What was wrong with her? why did she like him so much? this wasn't right she should forget him.

Taran heard Aethelwyne calling to him, asking him what was wrong, but he could not respond. Something was silencing him, keeping him from speaking. He tried to reach her mentally, but he felt weak, too weak to reach her. Physically, he could move, stand. He rolled onto his stomach, using his finger to draw in the sand. He used short words, brief words, to convey his message.
"Can't speak. Power. Moon. Too. Strong. Help."

Aethelwyne understood. Standing in the light of the moon she cast a shadow over Taran to break the flow of energy. "Taran trust me." She told him as she held out her hand to him. Placing it over his heart and the other toward the moon, she channeled the excess energy back into the desert sky. "Taran. Are you okay. I'm so sorry." What had she done that was careless. He was not versed enough in her ways. A tear rolled down her cheek as she dropped to her knees head bowed in front of him. "I am so sorry."

Nerasa felt it. something was wrong. She had to get back to where einar was for she felt that he was in trouble. She ran to where she last left them and found them easily. She ran to taran's side and looked down at him.
"What did you do to him?!" Yelled nerasa as she glanced back up at the other women.
"Where you trying to kill him for heaven's sake?!" she yelled again trying to use all she could remember and tried to use magic to help him

"Nerasa I didn't hurt him. It's the power from the moon. Calm down please...he's okay. I swear to you in the ancient language I would not hurt him." She looked at Taran with tears in her eyes.

Taran looked at both of them kneeling beside him. The moon's power had eased, though e could still feel it rolling within him. He closed his eyes, trying to shut out the world if for only a moment. When he opened them, he felt he could speak.
"I'm...I'm okay," he said, barely believing his own words. His throat no longer felt strained, and his mind was as clear, if not clearer, as always. He sat up, seeing tears in Aethelwyne's eyes. "Do not cry, I'm alright. Nerasa, she speaks the truth. She did not harm me. What happened was beyond her control."

Realizing that the girl had seen her true face. She looked at her and said, "Nerasa. You do know who and what I am. And now you know my true face. I have never let anyone see it except the sisters in my coven. I beg you swear to me in the ancient language that my identity is safe with you." Looking at Taran she stroked his face. "I could not hurt one such as he."

"Never do that again. I thought I lost you and that wouldn't work would it. I was more worried then I was totally angry. You should be more careful when you are handeling the unexpected." she said getting up and moving.
"For the first time I can trust you but not completely. You can trust me and I won't betray you to either the varden or the empire of your identidy." said Nerasa in the ancient language.
"I spoke truthfully. I have a friend that is an assassin and she hates both the varden and the empire and I promised her the same thing that i did to you." she said.
"I lied to you taran but in that i was trying to protect you from my own self though now I wonder if you could ever trust me. Do you think so little of me?" said nerasa.

Taran looked Nerasa straight in the eye, bringing himself up to her level.
"No, I do not think little of you. You have become a good friend in a matter of hours. I understand what you did, and I do not blame you. Of course I trust you. Though you must know the truth. We could never be anything more than friends. I am sorry, but I know that now beyond any uncertainty." Taran rose to his feet, looking up at the moon again but not feeling quite the same.

"I know that is why I had to leave because I tried to forget you and all i really want now is to just be your friend." said nerasa in the ancient language.
Nerasa walked silently back to the camp and just sat next to marflamel jsut because and she looked back at the stars in wonder.

Standing next to Taran, Aethelwyne made to move toward him but hesitated. "Taran if you would come back to my camp I could help you to overcome the effects of this magic. Will you let me help you?"

Nerasa was thinking about a lot of things and wondered why things never really work though she knew that things would some how or the other. Nerasa tried to count the stars but couldn't and she knew that by now.
"Life is never fair and a person has to deal with that." said nerasa outloud.
