A scene
The young prince of Ophir has been wasting away in his sleep for a month, and the court healers are baffled. The mystic Tefera sits by the bed through the night, still as a statue, his senses opened to what cannot normally be seen. Near midnight he sees it: a thin gray figure, ethereal and nearly transparent, crouched on the prince's chest with its mouth pressed to the boy's lips. It lifts its head and looks straight back at him. Tefera does not flinch. He knows, now, exactly what he is dealing with.
