Sina was humming on her way home from Market. Bags were being hugged in her arms as she made her steps towards her new life and new world. She was smiling, in such a glorious mood while she squeezed the bag of food to her. Her blonde hair and tripoints dancing to the tender tune at her lips. Her foot falls were graceful and silent, not even a path seemed to be made on the gravel behind her.

It was then that Tharivol would appear, a burst of bright light, wearing long flowing purple robes. He blinked and tore the robes from his body, dressed in his casual attire underneath, and tossed them away. The robes vanished in mid air and he shrugged. "Don't know how those keep getting on me when I plane shift..." he muttered to himself.

Giggling to her husband she shook her head," It's probably because you look good in purple and Nexus knows it." She teased while she continued her healthy walk. Her smile growing with delight at the sight of him. Sina was always smiling around him, for the first time in her life she didn't have to worry about a thing. She was at peace and quite the happy Alorian.

He shrugged. "Always thought green was more my color," grinning then he started off after her, then quickened his pace to be walking alongside her. His arm draped over her shoulder, and another arm reached to pluck up a bag or two, helping her carry them.

Smiling she turned to look at him while he followed after her and moved then next to her. Kissing at his cheek she murmured," When we get home I'll make dinner and then you can show me what you've been up to."

He smiled, and kissed her cheek in return as they continued on. "Dinner eh? What're you gonna make?" he then looked down at the bags, and started to sniff and see what she had bought. "Haven't been up to much, just an experiment or two, expanding the domain a bit."

"I'm not telling you, that's for your wife to know and for you to eat it." She giggled while she gave him such a stern look. Quickly it turned to a grin and then a nod," So our room is bigger then? Goodies, more room to play hide and go seek in." She snickered," Or have you been adding room for jr?"

He snickered as he poked his nose into the bag and looked around. "Hmm..." then pulled his head out and winked. "Hide and seek eh?" a grin, wide and mischievous. "Been taking away and adding, its bigger, but not all in one room anymore, and I'm working on a set up for the littlun."

Nodding she glanced down at her lump of a belly and giggled," Still horrified about being a father then?" She asked with a perk of her brow. A smile growing on her lips as she casually walked, even though she was keeping her bags away from his reach.

He blinked and tried to snatch up one of the bags. "Horrified? Who said I was horrified?" asked as he grabbed at the bags in vain. A defeated sigh. "Fine you win, but I'll get you back," a wink then.

Doing her best at keep away she giggled," I saw the way you looked when I first told you about Jr. You're afraid it's going to be tripelts like your father aren't you?" She teased as she stuck out her tongue and squeezed at the bags to keep them further from his grip.

"I'm afraid sure, but not of them being triplets or anything..." he shook his head then. "I ever tell you I was married once before?" he asked as they continued along, he had stopped reaching for the bags now.

Her jaw dropped and she blinked a bit, once, twice, three, and then four times before she managed to get words out. She even almost dropped her bags," No... you didn't."

"Well a couple of hundred years ago, I got married, an elfess by the name of Arya Wytestrake, a few months into our marriage, and she was with child. We had ourselves a pair of twins, beautiful children they were. But I was an adventurer at the time, always going off doing my own thing, I came home often, and loved my family, but she had grown sick of it. So when I came back, after my father thought me dead, and I was stricken with Lycanthropy, I told her about it right off the bat. She took the kids and left then and there. No traces, nothing, said because I didn't think, I didn't care, I went and got myself cursed, and that I wouldn't be able to take care of our children."

Blinking, Sina shifted on her feet to look at him with a frown," So you think that I will do the same? Is this what scares you?"


"No, I'm just afraid she was right and I won't be able to take care of em, I trust you and I don't think you'd run out on me," he shook his head. "Just my own self doubt."

She nudged him with her elbow," Dear... Hush now. I'm not going to deal with that at all." Shaking her head while she frowned at him.

He nudged back. "Hey, you asked," said with a nod.

She stuck her tongue out at him and giggled another calming tone. Sighing happily she whispered," I'm so happy with you... I feel whole again." She nodded while she began to walk again.

Following her, his arm gave her shoulder a tug, and he brushed lips against hers briefly. "And I'm more than happy to be with you, turned my life around you did," a nod with his whispered response, a smile graced his lips as they continued on.

Returning that simple kiss she wrapped her arms around his form tightly and whispered to him sweetly," You changed my life... I know it. You made it wonderful." She smiled and turned down the last few steps towards their home.

Another smile flashed as they headed towards the door, then he would open and hold it for her. "Well, c'mon love, I'm hungry..." he snickered and cast her a wink, teasing of course.

"You're hungry?! I'm the one bloated with baby!" She called after him as she made up the stairs and through the door with an oof and a grumble. She sighed and muttered," Should make you cook, I'm tired."

He chuckled as he followed her in, closing the door behind him. Arm went around her and he guided her through the house. "You want me to cook? I can."

She did looked tired. Her hand patted her belly and she smirked at him," Would be a nice change for once to see you cook for me love."

He chuckled again and guided her towards the kitchen. "Then I'll be cooking for you," said with a nod. "Uhm...what were you going to cook?"

"Alorianack Visure Beast..." She nodded while she held up her bag," It's like cow, but the meat is not as tough and it's juicy and sweeter."

"Alorianack Visure Beast...?" he blinked and tilted his head. "Well that sounds just...odd..."

"But delcious!" She said with a pout. Sina stood there for a moment, but then her hand moved to her temples as another hand shot to a chair. Sure enough she was trying to balance herself as she drew in a deep breath.

He blinked as he waved his hand, letting the bags float to the counter as he moved to his wifes side. "You know I don't know what to do unless you say it, so what do I do?" asked as he tilted his head, he was horrible with these sorts of things.

"I'm just dizzy dear. I just need to lay down..." She gave him a tender smile while she looked in his eyes. Her hand moved to her stomach and she murmured to him," Jr. Is just fine." She nodded while she drew in another deep breath. Another smile being given to comfort her husband.

"Well then, lay your bum down!" he said as he put a hand on her shoulder, and turned to guide her to the bedroom. "C'mon, can't have you falling down in the kitchen, that's dangerous, fall down on the bed, its nice and soft there."

She nodded as she looked to him. Biting her lip for a moment she whispered," Wouldn't have fallen in the kitchen love, you would have caught me... Whoa..." She shook her head," Too dizzy."

"Yeah, but that's still not as soft as a bed," he said with a nod, then up she went, as he scooped her into his arms, and set off for the room. "You ever notice how I always end up carrying you to the bed?" he asked with a tilt of his head.

She giggled a bit at him and rested her head on his shoulder," Mmmhmm... I enjoy it. Saves my feet from getting messy before I climb under the covers."

He chuckled and continued on, soon they were in the hall of twilight, and then in the room itself. Off to the side, the first thing one would see is a drastic change, the wall had been reshaped, forming a semi-room that was a good size, and had loads of things in it one would need for a baby. Too many things mind you, one could never be too careful.

Seeing this she gasped a bit and bit her lip. Her eyes turned up to her husband and she giggled softly. Nuzzling at his shoulder she nestled into his embrace while she closed her eyes. She murmured a bit to him while she kept close to him," Mmm... You're amazing."

He snickered as he neared the bed. "Hmm...have to agree with you there, I am pretty amazing..." another snicker, teasing once again he laid her back onto the bed. "Alright then, so how do I cook this Alorianack Viscu...whatever?"

"Just the same as you would anything else." She nodded while she nestled back in the blankets, still holding her head," Ohh... best not feed me until this dizzy spell is done..."

"Anything else...?" he furrowed his brow. "Guess now's as good a time as any to tell you I can't cook to save my life,"he snickered again. "I'll figure it out though."

Her eyes started to lull shut as she felt a sick wave rush over her form," Oh dear... This isn't normal.." She whimpered while she clutched her eyes shut. She wriggled a bit then rolled over on her side. Soon enough she was lifting from the bed and stumbling as she tried to rush to the rest room.

He blinked and soon rushed off after her, waiting outside the rest room door with his head tilted. "Are you alright...?"

She swayed again once inside and then suddenly there was a light thunk as she gripped ahold of the towel rack. Her voice came again," Tharivol... Get in here... I can't stay standing up... Something's wrong..." She sobbed as she looked to the door desperately," My chest is starting to hurt..."

He blinked and was in the rest room in an instant. Moving swiftly to her side, hand taking her arm for support. "What is it? What's wrong?"

Soon enough she was leaning against him as she panted and gasped for breat. Her chest was starting to glow the faintest light of gold. Her eyes were clutched shut and she whispered," I don't knowww."

"Uhm...well...uhm..." he furrowed his brow as he thought for a moment. "Shall I try and heal you?" he asked hopefully.

"Barrier.. around the... baby..." She said protectively while her hand shot to her stomach," Get me back to bed."

He nodded and did them both at the same time. He scooped her back up and headed off for the bed. Meanwhile he was deep in the throws of casting a spell, a barrier would form around their child, protecting it from any harm that might come. He reached the bed, and gently laid her back down on it. "Anything else?"

She shook her head as she grunted. Her chest glowing brighter and brighter while she lay there. Body began to quake and Sina was gripping Tharivol as hard as she could by the hand," This... isn't... normal!" She screamed as her eyes began to lose focus.

Well that much was obvious, not normal...He nodded and ran his hand through her hair. "It'll be alright love, don't worry, it'll be alright," how he hoped that were true at the moment, he had no clue what was going on, let alone whether or not it'd be alright.

Like that Sina's eyes lulled shut. She went still and calm, giving off peaceful breaths as her head turned to the side. She was trembling still as her chest started to shimmer. Soon enough the light was spreading from her chest outwards over her body. Once Sina was compased in the light the light rose up in a soft breath and formed an orb. The orb shifted and wriggled until it was bobbing about the room violently to find an exit. For sure and certain it sped back to Tharivol and a voice came from it in a meek, almost weak voice," Cuse me... Can you remove the wards around this house for a second?"

He blinked, head tilted and he rubbed his eyes, then quirked a brow peering at the orb. "Uhm...who or what in the Nine Hells are you?" he asked without even trying to hide hi shock, confusion, suspicion, and fear. "And...what are you doing? Why were you in my wife?"

The orb pulsed and dipped down to look at Sina for a moment, if it could be considered looking. Sina was at peace, breathing calmly. Sleeping soundly and softly. The orb then danced its way back to Tharivol's face and flickered again," I am a piece of her that is no longer needed for her to thrive... She is at peace, happy, healthy, and obviously a soon to be mother and a caring wife. She has a soul all her own now and it's time for mine to be restored."

A brow quirked all the higher, head tilted. "Piece? Soul? Huh?" he shook his head. "Nevermind, is she alright?" He asked pointing to Sina.

"Of course she is. That, that is your wife is fine..." The orb blinked and then bounced," Please let me out."

He nodded slowly. "Uhm...alright, one second," and he momentarily dropped the wards.

"Thank you brother!" The orb giggled and with a flash of light it bolted out in the blink of an eye.

"Brother?" he asked with ab link, then when it was gone, placed the wards once more.

Sina was sound asleep and at peace. Her form rolled to the side and she sighed softly. Arm wrapping about Tharivol's waist as she pulled him in closer to her.

He blinked and laid back next to her, looking around with the utmost confusion. "Well that was...odd..."

It may have been odd but it was needed. As Sina rested in peace back at home with her husband and her protected child that orb was traversing through the universe to head where it was needed. Once piece was safely back at home leaving a whole soul in its wake and a woman by the name of Sina Vaedaes.

He was oh so confused, but she seemed fine, so all was well. He settled back and figured he'd catch some sleep too.

Ren was living in her own world. Living her own life, she was the last living piece of soul that had become whole. Kaze?s piece would forever be trapped in her dastardly demise, but that was alright. There was an unfortunate compromise in the midst. As the orb separated from Ren the other two orbs from Wrath and Sina were making their final journeys to the body within the ice, but it wasn?t to be.

The body was rejected by the orbs and for several hours the orbs were bounding about the compound with nowhere to go. A third breaking from the ice to leave nothing but a corpse, a broken and decaying figure. There was no body for them to settle in and time was running thin.

The orbs dispersed at the first chance they received, hunting for a figure worthy to take up the duties of a soul.



Star date: 200901,15

?Captain! Here they come!? It was early morning when the Federation ship Balkier had picked up strange readings from a set of Romulan ships beyond the neutral zone. They were avoiding communications and not delivering answers to why they had breached so far from their designation.

When communication was tried the Romulans had turned towards the Balkier and made for interception. That was when other ships were informed, but even then, this was a one on three ship fight. Reinforcements wouldn?t come for hours and the question of if this was to be a safe meeting went out the window as communication was denied and a warning shot was sent off the Balkier?s port.

The ship shook and raddled at that blow, new technologies being shown when another shot right off target on their bow managed to shake the hull and send the ship a wave of electric pulses. Several crew were at their consoles when the wave hit, several injuries, burns, cuts, scrapes, and broken bones were noted, but only one had died due to the pulse.

Even with the shields up the Balkier was trying to avoid a direct hit of the electric hit. Massive blasts shook the ship until a sudden burst brought the hall quivering and the shields down to ten percent. At the lead, captaining the ship was a woman known by the name of Bice Gallo, a force to be reckoned with. She was known for her vicious tactics, and had several court marshals under her wing when she made for Starfleet, yet until then she was doing what she must to maintain her sanity. No matter how skewed it had become patrolling the neutral zone.

The woman was at the moment standing at one of the helms and plotting her own spiraling courses. All other helm had been sent to the infirmary or was otherwise unable to perform their duties. A prayer would have to be said later for them. A mental laugh was tearing through her lungs as she shouted out to the four men still living and operating on the skeleton crew of a ship,? Head up high men! We?ve got just one more hour before we are rescued!? She hoped it would be less than that.

The crew was doing their best for a captain that had never steered them wrong before. They were undyingly loyal to the insane woman while the thought of what doom they may fall against came to process in the depths of their minds. Still she was strong and proud, to follow her was an honor in their eyes and they had come across more terrible series of events.

? Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam!? Was blurted through her lips as she laughed manically. The crew looked in profound disbelief while their captain lowered down on the sanity notch. This time a wave hit one of their warp coils and surged up through the ship.

The ship was suddenly a dead fish in water with power bursting through the ship?s consoles in immense thresholds of energy. Soon the surge would reach the bridge, the captain going insane with the lack of motion her ship was receiving was working harder than possible to get the ship moving again as the wave shot through her, knocking her back with one powerful jolt.

As the Romulans rounded, preparing their final blow on the defenseless ship many braced for their demise. Off port came the distinct lines of Federation ships to the rescue. Right on time. The captain had saved her crew from certain death by pushing them further into Federation space. Several moments passed and the dead ship was left to wonder the status of the world outside, the internal work of attending to the wounded and dead already under way.

Two of the three Romulan ships lay in rubble around them. Their hull in pieces. Crews were already beaming aboard the ship as piles and piles of debris were being pulled off of the captain on the bridge. She had not been crushed, a chair had saved her from suffering that fate. But the shockwave had already given off the final blistering blow. Their beloved Captain lay dead on the bridge.

Most of the crew of the Balkier were dead or dying, numerous were injured, and several more left in shock at the news that spread like fire through the decks. Bice Gallo had died to defend the Federation, save her crew, for the most part, and even in her insanity, served them all amazingly well. Of the many lives that were lingering on board one soul in the shape of three orbs were searching through the chaos.

News of the losses coming to their dwindling life force. The captain had peeked their interest and as the orbs surged through the ship the attention the drew peeked many of the curiosity that there was to have. Closer and closer they were to the bridge, a fourth glow coming to them from where it had last left, Ren.

Together the four orbs formed a dance as they breached the bridge. Their forms weaving and twining until it formed into one great light on the bridge. Spectators paying their respects and combing for more fallen stared in awe as the complete orb shot directly for the captain,? Don?t let it attack the Captain!?

One managed to cry out, but it was too late. The orb filled the captain, spreading its glow through the figure of the dead form. Once the light had dwindled, leaving her form at a rested position the crew look aghast at the corpse and then at each other. It was in those moments when many began to seek the orb that something strange happened.

Coughing violently the captain?s form started to wriggle and writhe as changes began to take place. The body was molding to what was coming to be a very strange and odd way to return to life. Ears pointed like a Vulcan?s and spiraled out like a flawless feather. A button nose formed on her face and her lips became more pouted and soft. Strange markings formed on her frame before the woman?s eyes burst open. Black as night and with shimmering purple sparks in her eyes the captain began to rise to her feet as she rasped for breath.

In many ways the woman still looked vividly human, but Alorian traits had been adapted while the crew surged forwards to catch the weak and battered woman. Amazed at the sight of her they spoke up lightly,? Captain?? But she didn?t respond.

?Captain?? Was spoken out again as her head lifted and a grunt left her lips. The madness that was Bice had disappeared in those sudden moments she had died.

Sparking orbs focused on the faces around her while her lips parted to give out a fine whisper,? This is not Rhy?Din? This is not my body, where the hell am I?? It was going to take several days before the ?Captain? would be able to process fully what was happening, what had happened, and just what was to be done.
