I looked up from where I was setting a trap. Winter was coming, which usually brought predators seeking food outside their usual territory. Wondering about Eashae on those nights I felt it necessary to stay up watching for threats to my animals, I looked up surprised to see her coming to me.

“Husband, come home.”

Great-aunt Dirchein put up no resistance to traveling to see Lebranaut. Great-uncle Ferrigote knew the man as well, but it was his wife who wanted to give me a birthday party. I spoke with her about birthdays as we traveled to Nerkeggon, and being immortal as well she laughed saying that it was just an excuse to spend time with me.

Eashae was making breakfast. Everything promised to me had happened. In a way it was wonderful. I had a woman, one that I had chosen myself, in my house doing the things I thought a woman was to do. I went to her wanting to touch, hold, fondle her breasts, and she let me. She did not complain, although she did glance to the fire and I understood that she needed to finish making my breakfast.

The arrow flew straight and sunk into the man’s neck. I would not say that I was scared, but there was a lot of risk should I become found. I had fought armies, and walked into a den of vicious monsters. Certain threats and mentalities did not bother me. This situation had me fear both, so I was being very cautious. I moved to assure no one targeted me in retracing the flight of the arrow, then set up to take down another potential threat.

Epilogue

Upon our arrival at Florinew the couple had a busy day of seeing everyone. They had to walk through town, then through the castle, allowing to all to meet the new member of their royal family. Since there was no TV or radio, it was the best way to get out the word. It stressed Chamorrick and Lasotherral, but smiles stayed on their faces as they handled the formality of assuring that everyone knew who they were.

The Right Person to Hear

After going through the process a couple more times, Lasotherral displayed almost a frightened look. She obeyed the command from Chamorrick, but I could tell was troubled by his behavior. When it failed again, she however stopped to speak.

"What are you trying to do?"

"I was told that I must have faith," Chamorrick said between clenched teeth.

"Faith?"

"Yes." He spun to demand, "Tell her, Annie. Tell her what you told me."

Nagging Problems

The next morning I felt that Lasotherral had listened to my advice and not Chamorrick. She was the one that had a pleasant attitude. My half-brother was not negative, but I gained the impression that he had been up late attempting to solve certain problems by himself. Considering the challenge he had set before him, I could not fault him, but as one providing what had been shown to be good advice I felt he should have had some comfort in my instructions.
