Leaving her men to lift camp so they could travel south, Wylla took a last minute hike to the lordly estate, and stopped for a brief moment at the shrine for prayer. The knight started noticing some curious looks from the local peasants and looked at herself. She didn't feel too out of place with her armor and sword, and everything seemed fine. She shrugged and walked down the street to the central square. It still felt she was being watched, and when she reached the square, she saw it. There was this large statue of... Iris? Yes, it really looked like Iris's face, and her long hair, and her elegance. Wylla sighed. Iris always had this elegance. Suddenly it struck her: of course! Iris' face was the same as hers! That's why people were staring... She grabbed a nearby woman's elbow and pointed to the statue:
"That's not me, lady, that's my sister. I think. But why would you have a statue of my sister here, anyway?"
The woman shivered, trying to get away, mumbling something about ghosts having sisters, but Wylla didn't let her go. "Really, I'm not following! Please, calm down and explain it to me!"
"The rabbit house, go there, please let me go?" The knight did. There was a definite crowd around them now, and she was starting to understand. The hare was her grandmother's royal flag. Her father had always told them how they looked like her... if it wasn't for their dark hair, like his. She felt a sudden wave of emotion and asked and listened while everyone around her told her stories of the old Lady of Hernepoole who revered the statue of a friend and built this tavern for the friends of the deceased realm. Wylla made a quick stop there before going back to camp to write to her sister to come by. Iris would really amaze these people. She was looking forward to the surprise.

Elessa stands amongst her man slightly tired from the last battle in Fiddleford.
All the current situations have been quite taxing on her. Her foolish cousin has become King of the Realm we wish to absorb. She knows her cousin will do all not to go to war but still she wonders why of all the realms in Atamara he must be king of Eston. Well on another thought it could of been another realm protected by the empire.
"captain!" she yelled
"yes?"
"I need to be a scribe immediately I wish to send a message to Lord Marlo and his uncle."
the captain turned and left. Elessa head toward camp with much her mind. She feels somewhere in Tyr the white rabbit still beats in his heart and she wants nothing more than to unite him with his heritage.
"How much a fool you are that you could lose yourself from where you have come" she mumbles as she walks.

Walking down an old mountain path with mother, Alma was suddenly stopped by her mother who shouted in a thunderous voice "On your knees now Girl". Drawn back by the sudden outburst Alma quickly obeyed her mothers orders and as she turned to her mother she could see tears raging from her mothers remaining good eye.
As she lowered herself the the ground following her mothers actions she could hear Chi muttering to herself as she drew her sword and drove it into the ground in front of her "My Queen, My Queen...... you have finally returned to me." Alma notices that the more her mother spoke the ground turned to mud "After all these years you have returned ..... I have worked so hard yet I have failed you .... Forgive me."
Alma was shocked to see her mother acting in such away, for since she was reunited, she has only received harsh lessons and grooming, but this was a frightful sight to the young Alma to see the woman, her mother who was a compassionate as a sheet of ice fall to the ground in flowing tears. She still did not know would could drive her mother to such a state, her only thought was that age had finally gotten to her mother and this might be the sign that she should remain at home from now one.
After spotting a shadow descend on the path in front of them, Alma raided her gaze and could see a figure in front of them blocking the path. Behind the shadowy silhouette the light from the sun could be seen rising behind it and a golden outline could be seen surrounding the figure. As Alma looked closer, the mysterious figure came into view but it was no woman that she could recognize but it seems her mother knew her very well.
Unless they were both seeing things thought Alma.

Iris looked at the two women knelt before her, especially at the noble crone, and suddenly felt very young and inexperienced. All the elation and power she had been experiencing by walking through the mountains without hiding, without the cold from the north, and most importantly without pretending to be someone else... all of it vanished before that woman's tears. She bent and touched the crone's shoulder.
"Milady, milady, please don't kneel before me and please don't cry. I'm not worthy of your tears. I'm sure Queen Ilya did forgive you for everything, my father says she was really kind. Please, don't cry. I'm not her, you see?"
As the tears didn't stop, Iris thought of something Gavin always said, and got a lock of her dark hair in front of the woman's eyes. "Look, look, my hair isn't even the right color!"

Reaching out Chi grabbed the young woman's hand and placed her other hand upon Iris's cheek.
"Ilya, you look so beautiful and so young. It is as though time has been bent to your will."
Seeing that words could not convince the old woman, Iris grabbed a lock of her hair and dangled it in front of Chi. Sadly the old woman was lost. Reaching up Chi grabbed her hair. "My Queen, I ...."
Worried that her mother had gone insane Alma frantically tried to snap her mother out of the confusion. "Mother!, Mother!" Alma began shaking Chi. "Mother this is not your Queen, She has said so herself. Think mother, could Iliya be this young?" Turning to Iris Alma asked "My lady, who is your father. Maybe this will help my mother regain composure."
As moments passed Chi fell silent but the teas has yet to stop. All the wile still holding the woman hand.

Iris was at a loss.
"My father is Ilya's son Gavin... Did you know him? He told us to come south to these mountains and become knights, we'd be safe here. Wylla and I." Looking at the younger lady, she asked. "Well, actually, I'm sorry, but who are the two of you?"

"This is my mother Chi Motosuwa and I am Alma Motosuwa. I am sorry but I do not know your father personally but I have heard many stories from my mother about when he was younger." Turing to attending to her mother who was now doing better and coming to her senses.
"Gavin" Said chi in a calmer voice as she looked closer and focused on Iris. "Your ..... Little Gavin's daughter. You so beautiful and look so much like her"
Turing to Iris, Alma could feel something that she hadn't felt before. Doing well to hide her jealousy, she was shocked she could have such a feeling. Her mother had given this stranger more compassion in a brief moment then all the months she has spent by her side.
Putting her anger aside she asked Iris for help lifting her mother from the ground and continue there walk. "Lady Iris, would you kindly help me raise my mother, we are making our way to Hernepoole to meet with Lord Marlo." Almas face could be seen turning a little red as she spoke Marlo's name.

"Gavin" Said chi in a calmer voice as she looked closer and focused on Iris. "Your ..... Little Gavin's daughter. You so beautiful and look so much like her"
Iris saw the love in those eyes and almost cried. She whispered "Thank you, it's an honor", as Alma hurriedly spoke.
"Lady Iris, would you kindly help me raise my mother, we are making our way to Hernepoole to meet with Lord Marlo." Alma's face could be seen turning a little red as she spoke Marlo's name. The blushing wasn't lost on Iris. She smiled to the younger woman and helped bring the crone up to her feet.
"Sure, lady Alma. My sister told me to go to Hernepoole too, so can I join you on your way?"
After she started talking, she couldn't stop.
"It's nice to meet you. I heard a lot about the Motosuwas, for they married a Bluelake and helped our Ilya a lot during her reign." She lowered her voice "I think it might even have been your mother... can you confirm this to me later? If so... we're family! I'd be so glad!"

As they drew closer the the region of Hernepoole, Alma was sickened by the feeling of jealousy boiling up inside of her. During there whole trip her mother did not even acknowledge her one, for all her attention was on the young Bluelake. Alma was slightly relieved when Iris would begin speaking to her, thought the conversation would be interrupted when Chi began telling stories of Iris's grandmother and her children.
For the conversations the young girls did share it was full of laughs and excitement.
" It is true, my mother is the one married into the Bluelake family. My father is Marcus Bluelake, we lived in Menedor .....". Alma paused for a moment to try and push past the bad memories she had when her father and herself had to go into hiding after Falasan peasants started to rebel in Coria. "I was in Menedor when Lord Ham found me and told me about my mother and that she was in this realm, safely we had to leave my father behind to watch over the estate but he is doing well and we write all the time ".
" Lord Marlo is a relative of Lord Ham and he...." Alma was quickly interrupted by her mother "At times that man Ham is a fool and is misguided but he is a true friend of your grandmothers" .
Alma stopped talking and let her mother have way with the conversation, it mattered little because they would soon be in Hernepoole.
"Heroes, that is what we are. None could compare to us and your grandmother was inspiration to us all to keep fighting."

They arrived chatting like that to Hernepoole. The first thing Iris wanted to do was go to the shrine and pay her respects, so Chi and Alma followed her. Chi was anxious to leave, though, and Iris had the surprise expectation of Chi's reaction when she met Wylla at the guildhouse, so they left quickly. When they got to the main square, Iris realised people were almost jumping at the sight of her, and the crone was smiling like she had a secret. When a man on horseback almost ran a child over from the start of seeing her face, Iris grabbed his reigns and looked around.
"This has to stop. Please look at me as much as you want. I'm not a ghost, and I'm probably not who you think I am... Lady Chi, can you explain it to them?"
