BEFORE SIAN HAD A CHANCE to respond, the man repeated the welcome, making the same open gesture. Her father wore his grey streaked, dark blond hair, long, in a neat plait that came over one shoulder. In a million years Sian could never have envisioned these two as her parents, despite the obvious familiar traits.Stunned, Sian couldn't help the instant comparisons to her Earth family, to her mum who wore her dark blonde hair in a long bob, a style she'd always worn, to her mother standing here, with her sparse blonde hair scraped into an elaborate up-do, littered with pastel coloured ribbons.Or her dad, with his white hair kept short to help disguise the thinning on top and his brown eyes that always seemed to laugh, to this manher birth fatherwith that long plait and light green eyes that seemed to glitter with intrigue and speculation.'May I introduce the Lady Sian, Elemental of Water,' Daron spoke up, smoothly bowing low to the couple as he gave Sian's fingers a squeeze. She al

'SO, DWAYNE?''Daron.''Yes- Daron. You seem familiar to me.' The Duke turned from leading the way through the hallways to cast his eye on Daron.'Oh?' Daron raised his eyebrows, keeping his face neutral and tone bland. He'd been damn sure the Duke had recognized him on arrival but he wasn't about to let the man corner him. 'Have you been in the South before?''Yes. On our way to Jenviet's castle.' Daron kept the bland tone in place.'Oh! Oh yes, of course. How did that all go?' The Duke faltered for an instant.'Well. Wouldn't be here otherwise.''Yes. Of course. Well done! And here, this will be your room,' the Duke gestured a door and the servant hurrying along behind them dashed forward to open it.'We'll see you at dinner then. You can tell us all about it.' The Duke gave Daron a wide insincere smile before turning and walking back the way they'd come. The servant who'd opened the door scrambled after the Duke, knocking Daron's arm.Watching after the man vanish around

'MRP!' LUCKY LET OUT A lazy protest as Kassie lifted her, warm and limp, from her lap and draped her back on the seat where she'd been sitting.'Sorry sweetie, I can hear them coming,' Kassie ran a soothing hand over the cat's dense fur. A sleepy purr rumbled beneath her hand in response. With a smile Kassie left Lucky to it. Easing the door open to the bedroom she shared with Rumal at his family's estate on Delanta, she peered down the spacious corridor, natural light from the wide tinted skylights in the roof filtered down with a soft golden hue. An instant later Rumal rounded the corner, causing a beaming smile to spread on Kassie's face. She clenched her jaw to keep the smile when she spied Llylinne's gray and silver curls on his other side. Moving out from the doorway she caught their attention. Llylinne's brown eyes lit with delight making that annoying sensation of guilt rise again.In a motion more suited to Vecina, Rumal's little sister, Llylinne darted ahead of Rumal, eyes

RUMAL STRETCHED OUT HIS OTHER arm, still stroking the gelding's neck, rubbing beneath the mane where it could get itchy. The horse pressed into the massage, finally relaxed enough to enjoy it.'Does your energy work on animals too?' Kassie asked quietly as she snuggled against his side, both arms around his waist in a tight hug. He folded his arm around her as he nodded.'Hmm. Very useful when you're in the business of breaking horses.'She smiled, relaxing against him while watching the gelding. They stood that way for a while before he asked, 'How's mother?'She made a restless motion with her head, a short smile.'Good. Needy. I feel bad, it really messed her up.''It's not easy to lose a child, not in that manner.'Kassie burrowed her face into his shirt, nodding. Her voice came out muffled.'No.''You're doing really well with her,' Rumal said, hugging her again. 'Very patient.' She hugged him tighter.He looked down on her mass of curls, waiting. Eventually she pulled

LOI HURRIED ALONG THE CORRIDOR toward the Council Chambers. Outside the door Leseach stood patiently, her ardwyr alongside with Audrey standing shoulder to shoulder with it. The dog had decided the ardwyr was its newest best friend. The ardwyr put up with Audi's enthusiasm but couldn't be convinced to not try eating the jybois', so the tiny crimson animals stayed with Vesbel.Watching her approach Leseach inclined her head at Loi. She wore a new outfit, a design that suited both Elena and her. Fabric from the most north of Elion, the lands under the protection of House Tor'del, had been used to create a high collared, open backed vest. With her naturally higher body temperature and thick skin Leseach couldn't tolerate being too covered up, but her position as personal bodyguard to Cat, and her unique status of gifted Northerner meant her clothing had to show her status. From the front the vest looked like a heavily embroidered wide scarf, draped around her neck and over each breast, t

SIAN EXCHANGED A GLANCE WITH Kassie as Loi detailed her time with her mother and siblings. Cat listened with a slight turn to her head, smiling as Loi laughed delightedly about her little sister and a ride they'd taken together, though she'd plainly heard the story before. When Loi finished, with both her and Kassie chiming in appropriately, Sian turned to Cat.'What's with this outfit? I haven't seen this before?'A tired but pleased smile spread across Cat's face and she nodded at Loi.'Loi's mum inspired the first idea, then I worked with Elena and Ada to make sure it was fitting and unique enough that no one else could claim favour.'The notion bemused Sian. 'Is that such an issue?''Apparently.''Well you did a good job. I love it.' The wide necked tunic had fitted sleeves and fit Cat snugly about the torso to just above true waist where it gently moved out to skim over her hips. It came down to mid-calf, split from the waist down and revealed slim almost tight, fitting pant

IT TOOK KASSIE A MOMENT to realize she stood in the ballroom that connected to the throne room. The walls dividing the two rooms had been opened up to create what normally felt like a massive space.Not that it feels small now, she thought while slowly turning on the spot; just wholly foreign.Vesbel, Kassie presumed, had designed the room to feel like you moved through various outdoor scenes. Each scene fit around the various gifts and attendants stood by them. Cat and Alek moved forward, leading the winged guests to a set that Mhelyn indicated.Kassie hung back, Sian at her side, wanting to take her time exploring the opulent space. The path meandered in a lazy S style, back and forth past the displays. Kassie and Sian inched their way along the glittering dark path that Vesbel had lined with unpolished white stones.The first stop was a beautiful tree that had no pot, instead its sprawling root system stretched across the floor, with no dirt about it at all, while its canopy spr

LOI SQUEEZED UP TIGHT BEHIND Sian and Kass as Sian seized both door handles, putting her weight on them and pressed down on the handles then shoved.The doors swung open.They all sucked a breath in, staring in breathless admiration.A giggle from behind made them twist back to see Cat and Leseach, the Northerner finally wearing a genuine smile, both looking delighted at the expressions the three wore.Before them was a large open area, clearly a communal space, with comfy looking couches and seats. Nothing like the formal stiff feeling furniture elsewhere in the castle.A laugh that finished in a half gasp slipped out Loi's mouth as she regarded the space.There was so much to admire!Beautiful bookshelves in a medium shade of wood filled the spaces on the outer walls that were divided by sets of double doors, spaced quite far apart. Loi counted two door sets on either side and went to ask Cat something before she realized.'Oh! You guys don't have space here.'Cat laughed th
