"Your Majesty? Are you alright?" I sit up, looking around. Chicory, Nightshade, and Cardamon were looking at me, various expressions of worry on their faces.
"I'm alright," I wave away their concerns. "I must've dozed off. I'm fine." Chicory gave me a nod, but Nightshade and Cardamon did not. Cardamon started walking up to me, Chicory close behind her.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPVXRifekBJ
"Yeah right!" She said with a frown, crossing her arms. "You're pale and shaking. You've probably come down with something. Chicory," Cardamon gave him a look. "Go check Bergamot's temperature." Chicory gave her a nod, placing a hand on my forehead. I frown at him, starting to stand up.
"Chicory, I'm fine-" A sharp pain lances through my skull, and I hiss, squeezing my eyes shut. Nightshade frowns, leaning towards Cardamon, and whispering to her I couldn't hear. 421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBb5R9Axtyi
"He's burning up." Chicory said, turning to Cardamon, who places her hands on her hips.
"Alright Bergamot," She grabs my hand and starts to lead me away to my bedroom. "Come on, you're going to bed." 421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLLekWfSUx3
Despite my words, I fall asleep as soon as my head hits the pillow. 421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Dx21mqv3g

I watch Bergamot sleep and sigh, placing my hand on his forehead. He's burning up still, even worse than earlier. I frown. Chicory gives me a look. 421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHWl7zRyt0
"Is Bergamot alright?" He asks, and Nightshade shakes her head.
"It's obvious he's got a really bad fever. And," She points at his hand. "He's got some kind of...scaling on his hands." I reach out, grab his hand, and brush my thumb against it. It does indeed feel like lizard scales...or...
"Dragon scales," I murmur, and Chicory turns to look at me, his expression fearful.421Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ60gyd3CPul
"Dragon? Do you think he's..." He leaves the question unasked. "It can't be possible for someone to...turn into a dragon, right?" I frown.
"It probably is possible," Nightshade replies. "Let's just hope...it isn't happening."
