Miach woke up early he looked beside him his daughter was slowly waking up too. Cecelia looked around trying to find Miach but relaxed when she felt his hand rubbing her cheek gentle.

"Hello little one.. slept well"? Miach asked the half snoozing Baby Elf.

Cecelia yawned and almost fell asleep again.

Miach puts her down and pulled the covers around her and stepped out of bed heading to the door.

Cecelia followed him with her eyes. Miach stopped when he heared a sad wimper he felt bad and went back he held her trying to comfort her.

"Don't cry im not going to leave you i'll always be here" Miach said. Cecelia calmed down and reached to his face to grab his nose with her tiny hand.

Miach's wife openened the door slowly to see if her husband is awake.

she looked inside through a small opening and saw her husband cradeling cecelia the fact that he loves that worthless creature more than her makes her stomach turn in jealousy.

She turned around and left she threw miach's breakfast outside the window with anger.

Ariel no longer feels important in his life anymore. he rarely does anything without that thing and when he goes for horse riding he takes her with him even when he goes for a swim to cool off.

She is the centre of his world now and nothing could come between that not even Ariel.

A few weeks has passed and everything seems to go much better in miach's life.

After many years hes happy villagers noiced that aswel.

After work miach always rushes to his fathers house to see his daughter.
Miach father creared a soft spot for her and miach is very happy his father accepted her as his own grand daughter.

it was night Miach sat outside near their doorstep watching the stars and in one arm he held his sleeping daughter he felt her move and cradled her he watched her eyes roll back and dosed into slumber.

he placed her on his lap and focused on the glowing stars again. he wondered why that phoenix stayed with her could it be the mother of cecelia?

Ariel watched them behind the door she neered her nose up in annoyance since that thing came into his life he hasn't been the same be rarely pay anttention to anyone besides that nasty creature.

She didn't understand why he loves her so she's not even a human nor his flesh and blood.

Miach never showed this kind of affection to his Steph daughters when they were younger Ariel shook her head and went to her bedroom miach watched behind him.
and called for his wife he caught up with her.

Ariel was about to close the door she looked at her husband her jealousy grew even bigger

"So you finaly notice me? Ariel said with venom in her voice crossing her arms.

"What do you mean ariel"? Miach said.

"What i mean? what do you think"? Ariel spat

"You have realy changed since that thing came"! she pointed at his arms.

"You have been living in youre own little word for the past few weeks"

"Ariel please im sorry for once in many years i feel happy again try to understand that..

" Understand what? Ariel yelled. "That you don't care about me anymore"?

" I never said that! I still love you with all my heart but...

"That tiny excuse youre holding is causing nothing but trouble in our marriage she's keeping us apart"!

Miach went from nervous and intimidated by Ariels harsh tone to very angry.

" Don't start with me! our marriage was almost destroyed because of you"!

"You were the one who slept around,what the hell did i do to deserve that?
if i haven't found out you would be still doing it won't you"?Miach barked.

"That was ages ago! I've learned from my mistake I told you i'll never do such thing again"

" It doesn't matter you have no right to blame Cecelia she hasn't done anything wrong" Miach hissed furriously.

Cecelia became frightened by their loud voices and started to cry miach failed to calm her down.

"Now look what you have done" Miach said trying to keep his anger in check

"What? Whowas the one who started yelling? you brought up something that happened years ago" Ariel said like she was about to cry. She didn't like It when the past got robbed in her face.

"Ariel...just leave me alone" Miach said tiredly and walked outside the house hoping the fresh breeze would do them both good.

Miach walked through the village, There were still many people outside parents called their children inside for dinner.

A few of his old friends greeted him he smiled ang gave a small nod in return Cecelia still hasn't calmed down she kept wimpering in fear.

"He apologized for frightning her and tried to shush her once more

Miach sat down he placed the baby against his shoulder and sang her a lullaby his parents taught him with the same melody the phoenix used.

Cecelia became quiet and layed soundless against his shoulder listening to her fathers warm voice.

Miach placed back in his arms again he smiled at her sadly.

"I'm sorry" he wispered "I try not to yell when you are with me"

Cecelia stopped and focused her attention to a meteor that flashed by she reached out her hands towards the stars.

Miach chuckled and held her up beautiful isn't it? one of the gods greatest creations.

Miach kneld down and showed his respect for the gods, asking them to let cecelia grow in a strong and wise woman

And to protect her always.
