Letting Her Freak Flag Fly
A/N I was listening to Freak Flag from Shrek the Musical today and it inspired me to write a little something. It's about being yourself no matter what people tell you or make fun of you because you're different. Ari and Lorian's daughter learns this while being cared for by Merlin, Marissa's father and Ari's grandfather... I hope you enjoy.
Prologue
Ari felt sad as she along with her husband Lorian and their other friends were at the harbour. Merlin and his older daughter Inogen were returning to Worchester but they were sad.

But as they arrived at Worchester, somebody was watching them. She was the daughter of somebody Merlin once trusted and was once his best student. She smiled seeing the babe in Inogen's arms.
She was now sixteen.
"Dad.... are you sure Ari didn't mind giving her and Lorian's kid to you to care for her?" she asked him softly.
Merlin looked at her with sadness in his eyes.
"..... Yes they did. Ever since I raised your younger sister, I've been waiting for another child to look after..... since...... since she left us." he answered her with tears in his eyes.
But little Rosaria was tugging on his beard playfully laughing.
"Don't worry little one you'll have a family right here." he said as he opened the door to his room which only he could enter.
It was where Rosaria would live until she was old enough.
He sighed missing Marissa his older daughter.
"So he's grown weaker after what happened to Marissa." a hooded figure thought........
