The events on christmas day were anything but merry for her. If anything, it was what one could perceive as 'the worst day of her life'. Her father broke a promise, which she didn't know why until that appearance of Darin, saying that Sarjon was alive...she didn't really understand why her brother had attacked Darin, but it made her fearful that now, even people she thought were her friends were attacking eachother with such hatred..

And then, there was Cinnabar...She knew she had made a promise, she was sure she would regret it...but she went after him anyway. Yet, he did not appear to have anything near the same feelings for her; instead, he insulted her family because it consisted of more than just dragons

She decided that, to keep anything else from happeneing, she would stay in her room for the rest of her life. Whether or not she would keep to that, only time would tell.

::Aurthur knocked lightly on the door to his daugher Serenity's room, speaking softly.:: "Serenity.......can I come in? It's me, your father......" ::He didn't want to disturb her if she didn't want to be disturbed, but he hated to see her this way.::

she didn't answer, not wanting to talk right then, although the presence of her father would be welcome. She remained coiled up, staring at the corner and thinking about things. She wondered why all of this was happening to her, and why any of it was even happening at all. It all still did not make sense to her, and she was afraid something would happen, even with her staying in her room

::Aurthur didn't budge from his spot, nor did he enter his daughter's bed chambers. Instead, he sat down and and sighed softly.:: "My beloved daughter, i know that things have not been going the best for you as of late, but just remember that things happen for a reason. Sweetheart, when i first came here, i didn't know anyone. I didn't even plan to stop at the Inn that day.......but I did. And do you know what happened? I met your mother, the dragoness that i have been waiting my whole life for. We cannot predict when things will happen, nor can we control the gods. Bad things happen, but they make us stronger in life. I know your upset, and im not going to preach to you, because i know you would like some time to be alone. Just remember.....there are many that love you, my dear daughter, and we will always be here to help you."

eventually her voice drifted out the door

"dad...don't go.."

now she was watching the door instead of the corner, half-hoping he would come in. Maybe, just maybe, he could help her understand all of this. Especially the two questions constantly nagging at her mind: Why did Cinnabar not like her family' and why were her friends attacking eachother?

Aurthur Shimmerscale

::Aurthur would never leave his daughter when she needed him most, and he poked his head cautiously into the bedroom.:: I would never leave, my daughter. If you need me, all you have to do is ask, you know that. You are my child, and i would never abandon you.

"dad....why...why doesn't Cinnabar like me..?"

she felt she needed to know the answers to these questions, to know why these things were happening. She greatly hoped that her father would give her an honest answer, instead of lying to try to make her feel better, as if she found out he lied...it would make her feel worse

My dear daughter, i do not know Cinnabar, so i cannot tell you why he doesnt like you. All i can tell you is that fate has a strange way of playing out. If he does not like you, then there is a reason for it. Perhaps it is for the best. There are others out there, and perhaps Cinnibar is not the right one for you. Remember this, dear daughter. It is better to be alone and free, rather than miserable and shackled. What i mean is, if the love is not mutual, you dont want to be stuck mated with someone who you dont love, or who doesnt love you as you do them.

All of this talk about fate didn't make much sense to her; was it fate that decided her mother would be murdered by her father" would fate decide the same would happen to her" she was afraid, yet she also felt alone. Her thoughts revolved around that for awhile, then she rose and moved toward the dragon she now called father. She didn't voice her thoughts, instead, changing the subject herself to keep her thoughts away.

"How are Sento and Naria?"

SerenityDragon

over the past few days, she had ventured out of her room a few times, wandering around the lair. Usually, her wanderings would take her either to Sento and Naria or to Aurthur and Icer. Tonight, she found herself outside the door to her brother's room, trying to remember exactly why she had come over.

Naria

Date: 2008-01-10 19:47 EST
Naria's head lifted at the sight of her sister. Smiling she nodded," It's alright, you can come in." Bowing her head she nessles her belly as she leans on her side. Tail whipping a bit she closes her eyes for a moment. Smiling back to her sister she looks at the sleeping black next to her. Nudging Sento she whispers softly," Sento, your sister is here."

Sento

Date: 2008-01-11 13:21 EST
He sleepily looked around; Naria had awoken him, but it took him a second to register what she said. When he did, he was somewhat surprised that his sister had ventured out of her room

{Serenity' do you want to come in?}

he didn't realise Naria had already asked that

SerenityDragon

Date: 2008-01-11 13:46 EST
She hesitated, then slipped into the room. She remembered why she had come now, and looked at Sento and Naria

"Can...can I sleep with you tonight?" She was getting that lonely feeling again, and was thinking it might help if she stayed with her brother for the night.

Naria

Date: 2008-01-11 17:33 EST
Smiling at Serenity she whispered," Of course you can." Red eyes glowed warmly at her sister as she looked to Sento.

Together they made a family, it was new and different. The Shadowclaw clan seemed to be getting a second chance as she looked at Sento. Nuzzling him she looked back to Serenity as she made room for her.

"Thanks.."

She settled herself next to Naria, and noticed her sister was pregnant. She blinked, not expecting that. She spoke after a few seconds, a little more quietly.

"Am...Am i going to be an aunt?"

it was an obvious question, but she asked all the same.

Sento

Date: 2008-01-14 13:44 EST
He smiled, and laid his head back down to fall back asleep. He would let Naria and Serenity have some time to talk to eachother while he slept.

Naria

Date: 2008-01-17 02:37 EST
And just for that Naria leaned against Sento and nipped him in the ear. Smirking she looked back to Serenity," Well you are my sister aren't you? There for you have to be an aunt when this brood is hatched." Snickering she nuzzled her belly softly. From what she could count, though she wasn't positive there were at least three eggs.

"Soon....they'll be laid." Smiling to Serenity as she nipped her mate again.

SerenityDragon

Date: 2008-01-17 13:27 EST
The loneliness was subdued by that, and she laid her head down to rest. She watched her brother and his mate, smiling to herself as he seemed to be pretending to not notice the nips.

Naria

Date: 2008-01-17 19:43 EST
Naria settled down and closed her eyes. There was a mumble as her eyes lifted on her sister," Don't mind him, he's been quite lazy recently....At least he's not getting fat." Snickering as she leaned against Sento.

Sento

Date: 2008-01-18 17:27 EST
he grinned, and an eye popped open

{just thought i'd give you two a chance to talk to eachother, a little family bonding}

he didn't make much of a reply to the lazy comment, other than a poke from his tail.

Naria

Date: 2008-01-21 15:14 EST
Nipping at her mate again she leaned against him and looked to her sister with a smile. Winking she sighed and nuzzled her belly. Oh the effects of soon, it was shocking.

"Serenity, have you seen Ren recently..?"

SerenityDragon

Date: 2008-01-22 17:33 EST
"I haven't really seen anyone...i've been in my room.."

She yawned, then closed her eyes. Almost instantly she had drifted off, and wandered through random dreams that reflected her slowly growign excitement at being an aunt-to-be.

much later into the night, he found his way to their room. He didn't enter, just looked inside. He realised he really had missed his remaining family's life. His son was with a mate, and his daughter sleeping a few feet off from them. he turned and moved down the hall a bit, before he lay down and watched the door to their room, waiting for something, although he did not know what.

Naria

Date: 2008-02-10 15:13 EST
Naria had seen her father-in-law and looked around to her mate and sister. Shrugging because they were both asleep she shifted and slid up slowly. Creeping lightly away, not trying to wake them. Coming out of the door her crimson eyes looked around before they fell on Slavka. Slowly she moved over to him and sat down in front of him. Thumping her tail she whispered," Why are you out here and not with your family?" There was a slight tilt to her head.

Slavka

Date: 2008-02-13 13:02 EST
He raised his head and watched the door a little more intently when he heard Naria coming out. He was silent for a moment, before replying quietly, assuming his son and daughter were asleep.

"my son hates me and my daughter fears me...do i truly have a right to call them family, after what i have done?"

Naria

Date: 2008-02-13 23:45 EST
Sitting down slowly her ears flattened as she listened for her mate. There was a scorn on her face as she wrapped her tail around her protectively. Shaking her head she rumbled," Father if you don't get your tail in there and lay with your children I swear I will make you purple. I don't care how, but I will."

Family was family no matter what, Sento had seen that, now it was time the three practiced what they preached.

Slavka

Date: 2008-02-19 14:43 EST
"you...called me father?"

Why would anyone call him father after the atrocity he had done. He would have stayed outside the room if it weren't for her calling him father and that she was probably capable of turning him purple. Silently, he moved into the room, looked around, then took up a spot near the others. He lay down, watching his son and daughter...or was it daughters now"

Naria

Date: 2008-02-21 16:41 EST
Stopping at the door she looked around at the family before moving to Slavka's side. Settling down next to him she rested softly and rumbled silently," Thank you father....and why wouldn't I call you that....After all you are." Nodding she turned and nipped at her mate as she rumbled loudly.

Sento

Date: 2008-02-21 17:31 EST
he awoke with a yawn, turning to his mate. Somehow, he missed his father and didn't see him.

"Yes, my love?"

Slavka

Date: 2008-03-03 10:53 EST
"Sento...do you hate me so much that you won't even acknowledge my presence?"

There was no anger in his voice, no hint of irritation. If anything, it was possibly relief. Relief that his son hadn't attacked him. His gaze stayed on Sento, watching him almost searchingly. He wasn't entirely sure that his son was just ignoring him; perhaps he just didn't see him' It just didn't seem like the Sento he knew, even if he just barely knew him, to let someone he hated be so near without some kind of reaction.

Sento

Date: 2008-03-03 17:46 EST
His attention instantly snapped to his father, with the a growl.

"What are you doing here?"

How could his father be here" How did he get past the wards" Why was he here" His thoughts went straight to Naria and the eggs, and Slavka's past crimes. He rose, and looked to be on the verge of striking when he saw how close Slavka was to his mate.

"Get away from her or i'll kill you now"

Slavka

Date: 2008-03-04 10:20 EST
He backed off, having no intention to fight his son. Now, the relief turned into fear. He did not want to die by his own son's hands, not when he could finally have a family again. He did not speak, and now he watched his son for any signs that he would attack. If it came down to a fight...he knew he would lose as he did no want his son dead and force his mate and young to live on their own. He would not force Sento's family to face the same fate that Sento and Serenity were forced to face.
