I watch from shadows unseen and there he sits with Phia. I can perform a hundred things better than Belen in the ways of scouting and information gathering, but his physical prowess far surpasses my own, which was why he was chosen. A strong arm yet needed from the fever that ravished her body. Phia has yet to fully recover if she ever will. And I was there! I was the one that took care of her, comforted her…

The few precious moments we get together, she swears to me that they are only comrades. Can she not see the look in his eyes, the way he watches her. He would take her in a heartbeat forevermore. I should not be jealous. But that’s why I watch. No promises to anyone.
