Chel laid back down and snuggled under her blanket.  She reached beneath the mattress and pulled out the bloodstone by its chain.  The moment it touched her hands it broke into a lovely, sleepy lullaby.  Chel smiled, studying the gift.  She blinked back the warm sensation of tears. 'I think I love him.'  She closed her fingers around the bloodstone and held it close to her cheek, listening to the soft music. Meanwhile,… Lexx had tears streaming down his cheeks for other reasons.   'Ow,… Ow,…'  He tried to straighten his back, but the pain forced him to lean forward further. It had hurt so much, he'd quickly pulled off his shirt to see if that would help. His wings were shaking.  'My back and wings are on fire!!  They hurt so much!!'  It literally felt like fire on his back and reaching back to gingerly touch his back, he could feel that his skin was warm,.. and very tender to being touched. 'What's going on?!  They weren't hurting when I went to sleep!'  Lexx was confused.  He was in pain, yet his nanos were not doing anything to fix it.  They were registering the pain as damage,… but not serious enough for them to do anything.  It was only skin.
