Katara was awestruck. She calmed down and said, "Okay... did you hear what he said? I have to wake him somehow... But furst, I need you to tell Alan, the man with the girl in the hut, what Lumino said. Then I need you to find a Sacaen man, oh, wait, the town's full of us... Okay, one with flaming red hair, handsome, and a scar down his face. He is Kenshin. Tell him Katara needs him in the hut outside the village. Please, The future of this village just might depend on those messages getting out," Katara said quickly.

"Come on, Lumino, wake up..." Katara said. She started to hum her mother's song again, maybe that, combined with more cold water, would wake the boy up. The words came back to her, as if finding Arston completed her memory of the song.
"I linger in the door way, alarmclocked hushed, and I'll chase the monsters away... Let me stay. Let the wind whisper to you, and hear the raindrops, as their falling, tell a story... Can you hear the water flowing? Let Peaceful visions enter your memory... I'll lie beside you for hours, until the purple sunrise awakes thee..." she sang softly.

He coughed again, trying hard to stay awake. He met her gaze as if to say that he could hear her. Why was it that he was always the one in need of saving? When could he actually save someone else? Constantly the little one that needed to be looked after...

Arston ran back. "I have told them" he gasped. "how is he? did he say anything more?"

"He's coughed... he's awake, but just barely," Katara said. She looked at Lumino. "What did you mean? Please... don;t fall back into sleep..." she whispered in his ear.

Arston broke. He started yelling a Lumino. "TELL US! WHAT DO YOU MEAN! RAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" His hair was blood red. He was helplessly thrown into a world of confusion and uncertainty. He knew his life turned in another direction...

Katara threw herself on Lumino to protect him, but faced Arston. "Arston, what are you doing? He's just a boy! He's exhausted, please, calm down..." she said soothingly. please, don't... transform... she thought.

His body moved to react to the shouting, but before he could he felt the weight of her arms over him. She was shielding him, from whomever this man was. It must have been how tired he was, he could swear his hair was changing color. But now it was red, blood red....like a roaring fire. Lumino's eyes dialated in fear as he saw the hair, leaping like tounges of flame. He quickly regained his composure, and tried to speak. "B-bern...war coming." But the whispers were so soft, and his throat was so ragged it caused him pain to talk, wincing he remembered one last thing, something that they had to know, no matter how much it pained him to say it, or remember it.
"Matthias..."
She recognized the name, and he hated to see the expression on her face with the next forced word.
"...dead."

Katara was shocked. Matthias, the strong, valiant, mouthy sniper lord, dead? She had to tell Kenshin. She offered Lumino water and lifted Arston to his feet. "Be strong. Tell everyone to ready themselves for a battle. Bern is coming. Please, this last favor, Arston..." she begged him.

Katara's eyes filled with tears. She held out the bowl with clean water and pushed Lumino into a sitting position. "Drink," she hiccuped through silent tears.
