Reunion

Setting note: Dart and the gang have defeated Melbu Frahma and saved both Shanna and Endiness. Dart and Shanna married and are about to have their first child. Rose went to the rouge school to help Haschel with his students. Meru returned to the Wingly forest where she made it through the prejudice and married Guaraha. Kongol has decided to return to his homeland, but still hasn't left the house Shanna and Dart share with him. Albert went back to the castle in Bale. Miranda went back to Deningrad to help with the long repairs. It has been four years since they all have last seen each other, but someone is planning a reunion for them all.

Chapter 1

Dart looked down at his wife remembering what he had gone through to keep her alive. Shanna was in pain, but it wasn't a sorrowful pain. The most wonderful thing in their life, next to their marriage, was about to take place. Shanna had been pregnant for the last nine months and now their first child was about to be born. Shanna cried out and grabbed Dart's hand. Pulling himself out of his reverie, Dart looked down at her. Her face was scrunched up and she was crying out repeatedly. The doctor came in and checked to see if she was ready. Dart squeezed Shanna's hand and told her-

"It's going to be all right." He looked up at the doctor. "Is she ready?"

"Yep, This baby's coming out." Twenty minutes later, although it was the longest twenty minutes either of them had ever experienced, the struggle was over and the young couple heard the cries of their new baby girl.

"Say hello to your mommy," Dart said as he handed their daughter to Shanna. "She looks just like you Shanna. What are we going to call her though?"

"I think we should call her Mattie."

"And her middle name will be Kalena."

"Welcome to life Mattie Kalena Feld." Mattie smiled at them and Shanna laughed. "I think she likes it." Then Shanna and Dart kissed. While they did so, Mattie covered her eyes. Shanna laughed again.

"Well, I guess we'd better let Kongol in to see her," Dart said.

"But what if he scares her," Shanna replied.

"Then I guess we'll know not to let him near Mattie again." Dart left to get Kongol. Shanna looked down at the blessing Soa had given her and Dart, and thought of how it almost didn't happen. Dart had saved her, but she knew the pain he still felt at killing his own father. She felt for him, and wished he hadn't needed to kill Zieg to have her with him. Mattie whimpered and Shanna smiled at her.

"It's almost as though you have an extra sense. Don't worry though sweetheart, everything will be all right, just like your father said." Dart came back in with Kongol and Shanna gave the baby to him.

"This is your uncle Kongol," Dart told the little one. "He may look big and scary, but he's really just a nice Gigantos." Instead of crying like Shanna expected her to, Mattie reached out for Kongol.

"Why call Kongol uncle?" Kongol asked.

"It's an honorary term."

"Oh. Baby cute. What you name her?"

"Her name is Mattie Kalena Feld."

"She be strong battler like father, and pure spirit like mother."

"What do you mean, Kongol?"

"That's what name means."

"What do our names mean?"

"Shanna mean Small and Wise. Dart mean deer town." Shanna started laughing.

"What about Meru, Albert, Miranda, Rose, Haschel, and your name?"

"Meru mean Blackbird. Albert mean Noble and Bright. Miranda mean Strange, Wonderful, and Admirable. Rose mean Beautiful and Rare. Haschel mean Strength of Gods. Kongol mean Glorious."

"Well," Shanna said still laughing. "We can see why they were given the names they were given."

Had they know that someone was watching them their mood might not have been as bright. A shadow on ceiling fell over them, but they were too busy celebrating to notice. The person watching them knew all about their past and their old friends. One way or another, that person was going to get them all together again. Too much time had passed with out them knowing each other.
