'''Roleplay from Sorsha McDowell'''
 
  
The arrival of the ship to Port Raviel sounded with a bell and Sorsha watched from the bow. She closed her eyes and slowly took a deep breath. It was good to be home.
 
 
Returning to her cabin, she gathered her belongings and this time allowed Lasair to come out. Her ocelot had grown much larger since she’d left.
 
 
Before she stepped off she stopped by Sir Zeromus’ cabin. She gave a small knock on his door and waited until he opened it.
 
 
When he did, she shouldered her pack and gave a small nod. “Good day Sir Zeromus and welcome to D’Hara. We have arrived in Port Raviel,” she almost smiled. She pointed and looked in the eastern direction. “From this city you should travel east to Port Nebel, Duke Mathias will want to meet one of his newest knights. I will also be joining you on your travels. Mathias has… requested my presence,” she said his name softly, personally, and then looked back at him again. “But before I join you, I have some business to tend to in the Royal Palace. You are welcomed to join me if you’d like.”

"To the Royal Palace? Well, it would be a honour, of course will I follow you there! Did they say something about food as well?" Said the fat man.

'''Roleplay from Sorsha McDowell'''
 
 
Sorsha gave a small nod at his question. “I am sure they will accommodate you, besides the Queen was quite recently with child, I believe the cook will be used to having food prepared for all hours of the day.”
 
 
Without waiting, she turned away from him and left the boat. They walked through the city she knew so well and made their way to the Royal Palace. When she arrived, the guard recognized her on sight. “Inform the King and Queen, Sorsha McDowell has arrived from her expedition with Sir Zeromus and wishes an audience.” Zeromus standing tall beside her, seemed to look at everything with new eyes and she crossed her arms waiting for the guard to admit them.

'''Roleplay from Kisharianda Onyxien''' 
 
 
Days seemed to go by quicker since the twins had been born and Kisharianda was exhausted with the late night feedings and although she had Misha to help the babies only wanted their mother. She sat by the crackling fireplace rocking her new son as she fed him. His thin blond hair came up in curls at the top of his head and Kisharianda twisted a strand as she studied every inch of him.
 
 
"What will your father name you" she thought as she kissed his forehead slowly caressing his soft hair. She leaned back in the chair and looked at her sleeping daughter in the cradle next to her. Her life had changed overnight she was no longer just a Duchess, or a Confessor she was a mother to three beautiful children and wife to her King. Nothing she would ever do in her life would be bigger then this, she had everything she needed and most importantly she had everything she ever wanted and she would cherish every moment. This was her new purpose and she would make sure she would protect all three of her children to her last dying breath.
 
 
As she was returning her son to his cradle the door slowly opened and a tall thin woman appeared in the door in full bow.
 
 
"My Queen my name is Pillar McHaulier. Master Ugyel sent for me to tend to the children." she whispered not to wake the babies. Kisharianda smiled and walked to the door with a little confusion she had not been informed that another caregiver had arrived and she frowned in suspicions.
 
 
"Master Ugyel sent for you?" she began to walk as the woman followed behind her.
 
"Yes M'lady, he sent a letter to my grandfather a few weeks ago requesting that I come to Port Raviel" she smiled and looked at Kish
 
 
"Your grandfather?" Kisharianda was even more confused and it wasn't like Master Ugyel to forget such important information. She looked at Pillar and gave another forced smile. "You'll have to excuse me Pillar but I was not aware of your arrival" she stopped and looked at the woman.
 
 
"That would be like Master Ugyel" she laughed "My Queen, my father is Master Donovan and" before she could finish her sentence Kisharianda interrupted
 
 
"Master Donovan!" she said surprised "he's your grandfather" and the lady nodded
 
 
"Master Ugyel thought it would be good for the children to be under my care" her lips curled into a confident smile
 
 
Kisharianda smiled and felt relieved as she explained who she was. Master Ugyel had obviously made sure that the children would be part of a great advanced teaching and had asked Master Donovan to send one of his children to assist.
 
 
"Don't you think the children are a little to young for these kinds of teachings" Kish grinned and started walking again.
 
 
"Yes m'lady indeed they are, but all our children have had a private teacher from birth to allow them to grow and explore their inner strengths. It is a known that children who are brought up around magic at a young age maintain the form better when they become adults." she continued to explain and Kish listened.
 
 
"Very well" she paused "I will want to consult with the King and Master Ugyel first" she turned around and stopped in front of Selena's room "In the meantime I will have a room set for you. We are expecting guests in the next couple days to come meet the children it will give you time to familiarize yourself with the new faces and also to meet the children yourself" she smiled and Pillar smiled back at her
 
 
"Thank you" Pillar nodded and Kish waved off one of the servants to her "Find Misha and have her set a room up for Lady Pillar and inform her that I will need to see her as well" she ordered and the servant nodded showing Pillar the way
 
 
Kisharianda opened the door to Selena's room to find her daughter playing with MoMo and her doll house.
 
 
"Mommy!" Selena ran to Kisharianda and hugged her tightly "MoMo breakeded mah doll" she held up a porcelain doll with a missing arm
 
 
"Awww, Lord MoMo you broke her doll" she pouted at MoMo and the little monkey got up on his two back legs and started to point his finger at Selena squawking high pitch monkey sounds as if defending himself and Kisharianda laughed.
 
 
"He brokeded it" Selena pouted burying her face in her mother's long hair
 
"It's ok my little princess, there's plenty other dolls to play with" she patted her in comfort trying to hold her laughter back from the incident. It was one thing to stop two children from fighting but to bring order between a monkey and a little girl took perfect calculations after all the monkey coudln't very well defend himself verbally and she knew Selena had a little bit of a mischievous attitude and she knew where she got that attitude from as well. She grinned and stood up
 
 
"Are you ready to go show everybody your brother and sister" she asked Selena
 
 
Selena pulled away from Kisharianda and shook her head "No, mine!" she took one of the plush toys and ran for the door "Mah brawder" and she whined as she tried to open the door.
 
 
Kisharianda laughed as she watch little Selena struggling with the nob "You don't want to share your brother and sister?" she asked. "No Mine!" Selena turned and looked at Kisharianda with water filled eyes "Mine, mommy, Mine" she was so adorable but also very selfish she didn't want anyone to touch them and she even fought with Misha when she tried to bathe them. She was over protective of the twins and Kisharianda liked the idea of Selena feeling such a strong bond she wouldn't rectify the situation actually she welcomed Selena's behavior after all she was her little princess and Kisharianda loved her just as deeply as she loved her own.

'''Roleplay from Kisharianda Onyxien''' 
 
 
Kisharianda was just tying the bow around Selena's waist when a servant propped his head in to announce the arrival of Lady Sorsha and a guest. Kisharianda picked up a ribbon and decorated her pony tail to match her dress.
 
 
Selena had been full of smiles since Kish had gone in to dress her and poor little MoMo was still trying to put his little red vest on with much panic he threw it to the ground and stomped on it.
 
 
"Lord MoMo you really need to calm down" she laughed picking up his little vest "Come here, let me help you" she held up the red coat so that he may put his little arms in. Quickly MoMo ran to Kish for the help. "There you go! You're both ready, Shall we" she grabbed Selena's hand and MoMo grabbed hers together they walked down the hall to meet the newly arrived guest.
 
 
Walking in the study Kisharianda noticed a large man standing at the Lady's side and she smiled. Making eye contact with Sorsha she nodded and walked directly to Sorsha and her guest.
 
 
"Lady Sorsha it is good to see you are back and in good spirits" she turned to Sorsha's guest
 
 
"And you must be Sir Zeromus we have all been waiting to meet you" she smiled "Welcome to Port Raviel"
 
 
"The King will be joining us shortly" she reassured her guest "But I'm sure that is not the only reason you have come to the palace today" and she grinned "The babies are still sleeping but I will be bringing them down when the King arrives" she turned over to Selena
 
 
"Do you want to go tell Daddy that we have visitors" she looked passed Lady Sorsha at Misha who was just entering the room
 
 
"Daddy!" said all excited jumping up and down and Kisharianda smiled and nodded at Misha as she grabbed Selena's hand to go warn the King that Sorsha had finally arrived from the trip in Ordenstaat.
 
 
"She's just starting to speak out loud now we can finally make out what she is actually trying to say without asking her to repeat herself" she chuckled
 
 
"We were just getting ready to go find the King when I was informed of your arrival, shall we make our way to the grand hall? I had the chefs prepare a variety of foods for your coming" she smiled and looked at Sir Zeromus who's eyes lit up at the mentioning of food. Surely a man his size would have a good appetite and some rather interesting tales to share he seemed like he had seen much in his travels hopefully he wouldn't hold back being in the King's presence.
 
 
"Sir Zeromus you must be hungry after such a long journey I hope you find the food in Port Raviel to your likings, I must warn you" she smiled "My chefs like to cook and there is always an abundance of food when we have guests" she smiled warmly.
 
 
"Lady Sorsha, did you hear if Duke Mathias would be attending the viewing of the twins today?" she asked curiously

'''Roleplay from Rathan Himoura''' 
 
 
Rathan stood on the balcony of his fortified manor, looking out over the town of Nebel, bustling with activity. Nebel had thrived under him, and he had thrived from it. Things were going well, his research making leaps and bounds. His influence had waned some, but he could care less. He had fallen from the King's favor, but again, he could really care less. One thing bothered him though... Sorsha wasn't around. He longed to see her again... Since that night in Rettlewood... He ran a hand down his abdomen, where a monstrous beast had taken a chunk out of him. It had healed well, but left a large scar.
 
 
"Chadwick, how goes the construction?" Rathan asked his aid.
 
 
"It is going sire, but there have been setbacks. A whole batch of nightshade caught fire, and it spread to the kerosene... Its all been contained, nobody knows a thing either."
 
 
"Good. You may leave me now."

'''Roleplay from Sorsha McDowell'''
 
 
Sorsha bowed upon seeing Kisharianda and when Selena saw her she seemed to pause for a moment but almost immediately her face broke into a smile. Sorsha would never voice it out loud but she could see her father in her features. “You grow more beautiful everyday,” Sorsha told Selena softly and the young child beamed at the compliment and then left with the nursemaid.
 
 
Sorsha then straightened and met Kisharianda’s gaze. “No, Duke Mathias has been detained, I thought you knew. He left for the tournament in Pian en Luries some days ago. I am sure though he will make an appearance as soon as he can,” she then added her voice barely a whisper, “if he knows what’s good for him.”
 
 
She looked around the room and then frowned. “Actually I would have thought more would appear perhaps they haven’t arrived yet or are as well gone to the tournament?”
 
 
Walking away she looked out the window, as if expecting them to show up then and there. No matter the circumstance, the children should be honoured, they were the future of D’Hara. “I wished to honor the King and his new heir,” she added meaningfully.

'''Roleplay from Cenarious Stormrage'''
 
 
"Daddy! Daddy!" Selena cried as she ran haphazardly into the King's study. "Sorsas here! Sorsas here! Wit big big man!" Spreading her little arms as wide as she could to emphasize her words Selena stood grinning in the middle of the room as Cenarious came around his desk to scoop up his vibrant little girl so they could talk face to face.
 
 
"Auntie is here is she.. Is she with mommy then?" Cenarious asked as he wondered about the man's identity. Considering who he was here with and the timing of his visit and it was most likely one of the Ordenstaat knights but as a man of caution Cenarious knew that it never hurts to be certain. As Selena nodded agreement to her father's questions Cenarious gestured to one of his Stormguard.
 
 
"Find out his name and where they are speaking.. and be certain they have food and drink, I won't have it said we aren't good hosts.. and you had best find me before I find them.. well what are you waiting for boy? Off with you!" Cenarious said with a chuckle and a grin.
 
 
As the guard beat a hasty retreat Cenarious gave Selena a kiss on her forehead and stroked her beautiful hair. Enjoying the attention Selena giggled and squeezed her father tighter.
 
 
"Wuv you Daddy!"
 
 
"I love you too kitten. Now lets go find our guests before Mommy starts to wonder where we got off to." Cenarious responded as he moved to set Selena down.
 
 
In response Selena just tightened her grip and made the cutest little frown up at Cenarious. Unable to say no to her Cenarious straightened up and gave her a little tickle to bring back her smile as he carried her out the door to find his wife.

'''Roleplay from Kisharianda Onyxien'''
 
 
 
"You might just be right about them leaving for the tournament, with the birth of the children I must admit that I have let my duties fall behind me a little with exhaustion" she smiled at Sorsha "But things will get back to normal soon enough" she started to walk towards the hall with her guests.
 
 
"How was your expedition?" she asked curiously "The King mentioned that Marquis Rathan suffered severe injuries" she met Lady Sorsha's eyes "I hope he is well" she said sincerely.
 
 
Coming to a stop at the door she turned to Lady Sorsha "I hoped you brought your ocelot back with you" she grinned "The chef have saved him a" she paused and her eyes raised "A bone you can say" and she laughed.
 
 
The servant opened the door to the halls and as they walked inside the smell of fresh garlic bread filled the air. Cheese platters and vegetable trays were placed along the table, at the very center was a selection of sauces for bread dipping. At the end of the table sat a large rump roast ready to carve with onions and potatoes, goblets and plates were also made available for them to help themselves.
 
 
"I have a little confession to make, I was expecting you to show" she whispered to Sorsha "I had a feeling you would come straight here when you got home to see the King and the babies" she smiled and straitened herself
 
 
"I know the King would insist that you have something to eat and drink in your stay so I had the chefs prepare ahead of time" again she smiled warmly at her guest "Please help yourselves the King shouldn't be much longer" she walked with her guest to the table set before them.

'''Roleplay from Sorsha McDowell'''
 
 
At her question concerning Rathan, Sorsha couldn’t help but think of the Marquis, she had actually thought she would see him here. “Yes, he was injured as was I upon our arrival,” she felt the phantom pain in her abdomen, “and then injured again.” She didn’t mention the fact she had stayed with him the entire night to make sure he would be well, it was a secret only both of them knew of, at least from her end.
 
 
“He left shortly after. I have not seen him since.” She actually needed to see him, she was in desperate need of more sleep potion, she had hardly slept since leaving D’Hara, less on her return home. What with the problems Ordenstaat was facing, the rebellion and her attempts at trying to provide a home for the nobles who wished for comfort, those who didn’t wish to suffer turmoil, she had much on her mind.
 
 
“The expedition was cut short unfortunately, we lost many, but we accomplished some of what we set out to do. Everything does happen for a reason. Sir Zeromus here is but one, but there will be more to follow, four perhaps five more. Sir Zeromus will be able to give you a clearer answer. As for my Ocelot, yes Lasair is here, but I fear he’s enamored with your garden, in fact it’s probably safer for Sir Momo,” she referred to the King’s monkey and grinned. “Yes it would be much safer for him should Lasair remain outdoors for now.”
 
 
As they entered the room, the smell of food filled her and Sorsha realized just how hungry she actually was. She nodded in thanks to Kisharianda, “of course I would be here. Nothing would keep me from this. Nothing.”

'''Roleplay from Zeromus Abaron''' 
 
 
A broad smile entered the fat man's face. A table with food, and a nice hostess, could it be better?
 
 
Inspired by his hostess words, and the lovely scent from the food, he began to fill his plate with all kinds of stuffs that was severed. As usual for him, he ate as it would be his last meal in life.
 
 
----
 
 
 
'''Roleplay from Cenarious Stormrage''' 
 
 
Finally arriving at the dining hall that hosted their guests Cenarious made his way without pomp or fanfare to the head of the table. Taking his seat Cenarious settled his still clinging daughter in his lap and smiled at his wife. Distracting Selena with a tasty morsel from the table before them Cenarious finally had a chance to examine his guests.
 
 
"Glad to see your home safely Sorsha, and this must be Zeromus I presume?" Cenarious queried. "I trust your welcome was sufficient?"
 
 
----
 
 
'''Roleplay from Zeromus Abaron''' 
 
 
Zeromus looked up from his plate to see who talked to him, He had never seen him before, but he assumed that it was the Dragon King of D'Hara, as the daughter of duchess Kisharianda sat man's knees.
 
"Yes, I am Zeromus Abaron, the "Grand Imperator" of Silverfall. A ridiculous title in a ridiculous realm, if you ask me. And the welcome have been very appreciated, especially the food. I can understand why lady Sorsha was invited, but why am I invited to meet his grace himself, his beautify wife and his adorable children? But I thank you, otherwise would I probably spend another night with the tiring stories from Sir Jonordebrir Vaaryar, former viscount of Kydonia." Said Zeromus.
 
 
----
 
 
 
'''Roleplay from Sorsha Mcdowell'''
 
 
As the King entered, her gaze followed his form until he sat. “It is good to be home,” she said unemotionally, her words conveying more than her expression. “I will be leaving for Port Nebel shortly and thereafter Nebel, I can’t recall the last time I was in my own home,” she added absently.
 
 
She then listened as Zeromus talked, knowing all too well what he referred to by the stories of Jonordebrir, the man had a flair for storytelling.
 
 
She then approached the table with the platter of food she had taken for herself and started to eat, nibbling on the vegetables. “Congratulations on your heir,” she looked to the King and Queen. “I hope to see them soon. Unfortunately I was not able to bring them anything, since I have only just arrived but I will rectify that as soon as I am able.”
 
 
 
----
 
 
'''Roleplay from Cenarious Stormrage''' 
 
 
"My Black Lions are always welcome at my table, and Sorsha is well within her rights to bring you along as well as far as I am concerned." Cenarious said with a friendly smile as he gauged Zeromus and his reactions to his words. "It would seem that loyal knights are a rare commodity here on Dwilight, a fact that makes my Lions even more valuable as none are more loyal then they. I suppose it all boils down to a simple principal, that every noble must make their own fate, and I merely do my part to continue that cycle. Be it through reward or punishment, the nobles of D'Hara have the chance to make their fates as they wish them. And with the help of my lovely Confessor, who has quite a knack for seeing to the heart of such matters, I have little trouble garnering the truth and rewarding those who truly deserve it."
 
 
Raising a hand without glancing back Cenarious took the proffered goblet from his waiting servant and took a sip as he watched his guests digest both his words and their meals.
 
 
"Thank you Maurice." Cenarious said over his shoulder so that only his servant would hear.
 
 
With the slightest of smiles to acknowledge his King's gratitude, Maurice faded back into the background of servants and guards that constantly surrounded the royal family.
 
 
----
 
 
'''Roleplay from Sorsha McDowell'''
 
 
At the King’s words Sorsha took up her own goblet with a ghost of a smile and drank some wine. When the King spoke one should do well to listen; for she had known him long now and never did he speak one thing without getting another point across. She remained silent and gave Zeromus an opportunity to speak with the King, it would probably make him feel better about being in D’Hara altogether seeing as his first encounter was with the Royal Family.
 
 
Loyalty…she returned the wine and her hand rested on the table. As if being away from the room entirely her mind drifted off.  Her eyes had a faraway look and her face became blank. For a moment her mind filled with thoughts of someone else…how she yearned to be with him again.
 
 
At the thought she flinched and the glass before her cantered and she caught it before it spilled. She looked around the room quickly, hoping no one had seen her and quickly took a drink.
 
 
She was unbalanced, something had stirred within her and she did not know what to make of it.

'''Roleplay from Kisharianda Onyxien''' 
 
 
Kisharianda smiled at Lady Sorsha's comment of meeting the babies and she looked in the new nursemaid Pillar's direction motioning her over. "Would you help Misha in bringing the babies down" she ordered and Pillar nodded and made her way out.
 
 
"Well I agree I think it's highly time we bring them down" Kisharianda leaned over to Sorsha "Can you believe I have still not found a name for my daughter" she frowned and sighed "I absolutely love the name Alex but find Alexandra or Alexandria too long" she looked at Sorsha and noticed Sorsha smiling back at her "You just wait" Kisharianda laughed in return "Naming a child is not an easy decision" she nodded and grinned as she sipped her wine "One day you'll be in my shoes too" she winked and took another sip.
 
 
Suddenly interrupted by the sound of a shattered plate the guests turned in the direction to find Selena and MoMo arguing over an apple and they started to laugh. "Mine! MoMo!" Selena tugged at the apple and MoMo squawked and pulled it closer to his chest. Selena even more frustrated at his gesture pushed MoMo and grabbed the apple and bit into it walking towards Cenarious with a content smile on her face "My appul Daddy" she placed the apple near Cenarious' plate and tried to climb on his lap. Cenarious helped her get comfortable and offered her the apple and Selena shook her head "Not hungri daddy" and he chuckled even more.
 
 
Kisharianda rolled her eyes and couldn't help but laugh "It's funny now but I don't think it's going to be funny later, when Selena wants something" she paused and looked in her daughter's direction "Selena gets. She has already given the nursemaids a hard time with the babies, they are hers" she laughed "Only Misha is allow to be around them, since Misha spends most of her time with her, I only wonder how the new nursemaid will turn out" she chuckled "I don't need guards on duty with the babies I only need Selena"
 
 
 
----
 
 
'''Roleplay from Sorsha McDowell'''
 
 
Sorsha looked up when Kisharianda began to speak with her. At the mention of the baby’s name, one flashed in her mind quickly and she wondered what she would name hers and didn’t realize she was smiling until the Duchess laughed telling her she would soon be there as well as if speaking her thoughts out loud.
 
 
Her eyes returned quickly to the wine before her and she couldn’t help but wonder at the thought.
 
 
Would she ever truly find herself in that situation? Her? Mother to a child?
 
 
Selena then made her entrance with MoMo and she gazed at the young child, not paying attention to the commotion but the beauty of the small wondrous life standing before her.
 
 
A part of her wondered, if she did have a child what would it look like? Would they have her eyes? Their father’s coloring? And who would be the father? For that, she would need to marry. To marry she would need to feel love and have it returned unconditionally…
 
 
Amazing how a simple comment had her mind wandering so quickly she couldn’t wrap her mind around it but amidst it all one thought was clear. “Alexis,” she said softly to Kisharianda, not clarifying her thought, as a matter of fact had she the presence of mind she would have left, was she stricken with fear or longing at the thought?
 
 
 
----
 
 
'''Roleplay from Kisharianda Onyxien'''
 
 
 
As Sorsha voiced the name Alexis she felt small goosebumps run up the side of her cheeks to the back of her neck and her eyes lit up. "That's it!" she looked at Sorsha with a huge smile and turned to Cenarious at her left.
 
 
"Alexis, my love" she smiled. Cenarious paused in full sentence confused
 
"Alexis?" he repeated and Kisharianda smiled nodding. After a few seconds he quickly caught on and nodded back in agreement "Very nice, Alexis it is" he said.
 
 
As the guests continued to eat Misha and Pillar came in holding the two precious gems. Both dressed in a long white robe and bonnet half asleep in the nursemaids arms.
 
 
"Your children M'Lord" Misha bowed and Cenarious reached for his son and Kisharianda their daughter.
 
 
"Lady Sorsha, Sir Zeromus" Kisharianda smiled "Meet our precious gems" she pulled the pink quilted blanket from Alexis' face for Sorsha to get a better look and softly did the same with their son's in Cenarious' arms.
 
 
"Meet Alistair and Alexis Stormrage" she proudly held Alexis's half sleeping chubby face up for both to see.
 
 
----
 
 
'''Roleplay from Sorsha McDowell'''
 
 
As Kisharianda presented the small children Sorsha couldn’t help herself and reached in to touch Alexis’ soft pink cheek. “She is as beautiful as you, your Highness,” she told her and then looked over to Alistair. “Such a small child yet already he commands presence as does his father,” she complimented Cenarious.
 
 
Again Sorsha was given a vision of children she had never dared dream of before today, the thought was so odd. She truly did not know what to make of it and tried to put it to the back of her mind.
 
 
“They as well will have strong ties to the McDowells and the same oath of protection I have given Selena will be given to them,” she said devotedly.
