Udonna fell asleep, curling up against her husband. Leanbow contentedly watched her sleep. "Leanbow," she murmured sleepily.

He stroked her hair and whispered, "I'm not going anywhere, love."

Udonna slept peacefully until the nightmares began.

Leanbow shook her shoulder, hissing, "Udonna, wake up!"

She sat up and turned and stared at Leanbow for several seconds. He looked at her worriedly. "Are you OK?" He asked anxiously.

She blinked and then launched herself into his arms. She buried her face in his shirt and began to cry. "Hey, what's wrong, Udonna?" He asked, as she sobbed into his shirt.

She shook her head and continued crying. Leanbow frowned and puzzled over his wife's reaction. Then he realized something. "Is it the Great Battle?" He asked, gently, wrapping his arms around his sobbing wife.

She nodded and he felt horrible. She had been so young and innocent and had lost so much. He lovingly stroked her hair and the two remained like that for the next few hours.

Then he murmured, "I want to help train Bowen."

Udonna nodded in agreement. After all, his powers came from both parents and he needed to learn from both. Then she asked, "Did you talk to Daggeron and Bowen about this?"

Leanbow nodded and answerd, "Daggeron said it was fine. And Bowen seemed surprised and happy at the idea he'd get to train with me."

Udonna nodded and Leanbow asked, "He still thinks of me as his hero, doesn't he?"

She nodded and Leanbow frowned, unsure of whether or not that was a good thing. Then she added, "But he can't—won't?—accept the idea that you could be Koragg. He thinks of you as his father, but mention Koragg, and he gets upset."

A few hours later, Leanbow began training his son, both as a warrior and as a wizard.
