Ice blue eyes blinked open as the dragoness got a rude awakening from her sister Storm, of course she was sure that the dark one hadn't meant to kick her in the ribs.

It had been ages it seemed, since she and her sister left the lair, they did it for the little ones and their mates, taking wing to a hidden vale in Ring Valley, they didn't want anyone to catch the illness, especially not the hatchlings.

A light snarl given, as she paid her sister back with a light nip to Storm's left shoulder, being couped up in a cavern for at least six months wasn't fun, especially when that cavern was barely large enough to hold them both.

She never meant to leave without a goodbye, fully intending on leaving a note behind for her mate and young so they wouldn't worry, but the note went unwritten as the Nexus seemed to help the pair on their way.

Cramped, the pair of dragons had slept most of the time there, falling into a sort of hibernation, at least until the jolt from her sister, she peered out from the hidden cavern, watching as the clouds rolled by, before finding a piece of paper, and a charred bit of branch nearby, and as best she could, she wrote a letter to those she loved.

Dearest love and family, we are doing well, my sister and I left for Ring Valley after discovering that we were ill, it is nothing serious, but we did not wish to pass it onto you or the hatchlings.

We have been resting well, and hope to return soon, until then my love, stay safe and tell the little ones we miss them

Sincerely, Icer....thinking for a moment, she peered toward her still slumbering sister and added her name as well..and Storm.

Concentrating, she used just enough of her magic to send the letter home to the lair, before coiling back against her sister and drifting back into a peaceful sleep, this would put her mind at ease, and hopefully those of her kin.

::When he had recieved the letter, Aurthur had nearly cried in joy, hugging the letter tightly to his chest, as though it were his mate in his arms. How badly he had missed her could not easily be put into words, and he dared not try. He did send her a letter in return, though much simplified.::

My Dearest Icer, I will give the hatchlings your love every day, as I have done everyday since your departure. We have all been well, save for when I had to go into a hibernation state......but I will explain all that bad business at some other time. I am happy to hear that you are almost recovered and that you will be back with us soon.

Forever your loyal mate, Aurthur Shimmerscale
