We've been through this already... Only Nemul.
It was a clear Nohrian day in a beautiful Nohrian home…
"Fatheerrrrrrrr!"
With a loud daughter riding an uncontrolled horse.
"So-Sophie! Keep him steady! WOAH!" A gray haired man in his armor dodged the horse.
"We are moving! Keep it together for like… Another hour!" A red haired woman yelled as she sat on a chest to close and latch it.
"But we need to get Avel before… Agh!" The man dodges the horse running about in their yard.
"Oh come on Silas! It's just Avel! He doesn't mean it!" The woman yells back.
"But hun!" Silas shouts back as he chases the horse.
"Motheerrrrrr!" Sophie yelled as she clung onto the horse for her dear life.
"Just one more hour!" The woman yelled back as she latched on the last trunk of their belongings, this one with a metal name plate.
The name written on said plate: Severa.
It is a nice and calm day in the land of Rosanne. It is a nice beautiful day as a young family treads towards their new residence.
"Wow mom. You did some really cool stuff. I mean like. I know father is like my knight idol, but I want to be as brave as you!" Sophie gushed at her mother's story.
"Yeah well. Selena, Severa. Whatever what you may be, I'll always love you, but you don't have to exaggerate the story…" Silas sighed as he rides the horse pulling a cart of their belongings.
"I swear it's not an exaggeration. Gawds…" Severa huffs.
"Sure… And this sister of yours can call upon the deepest and most evil forces of dark magic." He responded with nothing but sarcasm.
"That sounds amazing." Sophie makes a side comment.
"Well… I mean, you wouldn't be wrong." Severa shrugs.
"Oh for heaven's sake." Silas facepalms.
"It's true." Severa puts her right over her left.
"Are we there yet? Avel just finished his snaaaackkk!" Sophie yells as said horse charges off down the path.
"Sophie!" Silas gets the horse moving with the cart attached.
"He-ey! I'm back he-here!" Severa grips onto the cart as they chase their daughter.
"Hey Cordelia." Nemul looks up from his sudden book writing about tactics.
"Yes love?" Cordelia finishes up her sweep of their estate home.
"I have an odd feeling… Cordelia, be ready to send a message to the craftsman here… I shall need a new gate soon." Nemul sat down and continued his writing.
"How specific, but usually your hunches have some merit to it." Cordelia heads out of the study room both of them were in.
Nemul focuses on finishing his first book as he glances out the window, brushing his hand across his slightly scruffy and spiky hair.
"I hope Morgan doesn't experiment again." He murmurs to himself.
Just as Nemul starts to write once more. His intuition comes to fruition as a horse rams through his small wooden gate. The horse, being ridden by a charming young woman, is being followed by another horse, being ridden by presumably someone who cares for the girl or the horse, pulling a cart with chests and the estate owner's daughter.
"Ahhhhhh! Avvveeeellll!" Sophie could only yell.
Nemul looks up from his work and stares out the window without even standing.
"I was right… Again…" He sighs.
Back to the returning family, the horse charges on heading around the mass of land that is provided, only to find another woman, of a smaller stature, practicing magic.
"Woah! Horsie!" The woman held up her hands and the horse stopped.
Sadly, physics is a relevant topic… And the rider was flung off from the horse as it came to a sudden stop, tossing the poor girl to the mildly soft grass.
The other travelers caught up as the woman sat with the young rider as the horse munched on the waving grass, a slight breeze blowing a warm wind in the land of Rosanne.
"Thanks Morg. You really are a help even if you are a pain in my butt." Severa huffed at her sister as she hugged her.
"No probbies Sevvy. A sis's job is to help her big sis. And niece when it comes down to it." Morgan giggled as she took her previous spot on the grass next to Sophie, who in turn had her father sit next to her on her other side.
"Avel's never really listened much when Sophie is on his back, but listens when someone else is. Never seen him so obedient though." Silas sighed.
"Sorry about the gate…" Sophie scratched the back of her head.
"It's no problem. Father already sent a message to the wood worker people just before you crashed through it." Morgan pointed out.
"Daddy has… A weird power of knowing what needs to be replaced before it needs to be replaced." Severa added.
"So that's where I get it from…" Sophie mumbled under her breath.
"Say something Sophie?" Silas asked.
"Uh… Nothing… Nothing." Sophie put on a straight face.
The warm breeze continued on as the family sat on the grass, watching the landscape that goes past the little stone fence, admiring the land owned by said head of family which is just long grass upon a slight knoll.
"Oh look, there's father." Morgan pointed out.
The other three looked over to see a man waving at them from the manor they resided in.
"You know Nemul. You never seem to be wrong with these odd intuitions of yours." Cordelia handed him a cup of tea before taking a seat next to him at the square table in the dining room.
"I expected as much to be honest. Nothing is ever normal with me. You should know that." Nemul points out as he takes a sip.
"I know. It makes life less boring in Rosanne." Cordelia gives him a quick kiss on the cheek.
"Mom…" Severa groans at the sight.
"So… Mister… Uh…" Silas trails off.
"Pappaklunkeklemmer." Nemul says casually.
"What?" Silas goes wide eyed.
"Joking. It's actually Holstein. I'm told it's the name of a nation or province in one of the outrealms." The red haired tactician takes another sip of his tea.
"Mister Holstein. It is a pleasure to meet you." Silas bows his head.
"A pleasure to meet my son in law." Nemul finishes his cup of tea.
"Missus Holstein." Silas also bows his head to Cordelia.
"Please, Cordelia. Formalities are not necessary." The red head waves it off with a gentle smile.
"I'm bored… Sevvy, you're comin' with me someplace!" Morgan suddenly gets up from the seat next to Sophie and grabs her similar hair colored sister.
"H-hey! W-w-why meeee!" Severa got dragged away without ever speaking at the table.
"Severa!" Silas stood up and followed the siblings.
All that was left was Sophie, Cordelia and Nemul, sitting at the square table.
"Severa never really got a chance to share her stories." Cordelia mused.
"Indeed. Very interesting." Nemul chuckled.
Sophie shifted in her chair a bit before speaking up.
"So… Uh… Granddad?" Sophie managed.
"Mmm?" Nemul raised an eyebrow.
"I heard that you have this little ability to somehow know to get a replacement before something breaks…" Sophie trails off.
"Go on." Nemul clasps his hands together and puts his elbows on the table, listening intently.
Sophie scratches the back of her head as both of her grandparents listen close.
"Well you see…" She pauses before looking towards the front of the house.
Nemul's concentration lapses for a moment as well.
"I think you need to call whoever does your windows." Sophie points out.
Her grandfather looks to her astounded, right as the sound of a window shattering occurs.
"I knew it was hereditary." Nemul concluded with a smile.
A/N: I'M BACK AND STILL ALIVE! I feel like I say that every time I haven't updated in like a month or so... Anyway, sorry this took so long, but after literally making up about half a semester's work of English and writing a History paper about Columbus AND writing a review of a play for Theater... I was burnt out man. Plus the holidays and my grandparents leaving for a month. It was hectic.
THANKFULLY, I managed everything and got sorted out. Got good semester grades too. And I got this new chapter out! Took me only 3... Maybe 4 months. AND ON NEW YEARS! HELL YEAH! New chapter, new year, new... Things... Oh boy...
Anyway, I hope to update more often now since I got my writing juices semi refilled again. Just don't expect somethin right quick though. I can only do so much and please so many people. I'm too sensitive about what people think of me, but I know to put on a brave face and deal with such criticism! It is my story and I write what I like. Plus I do express my dislikes in the note in Chapter 2.
To finish, it's in between semesters for me, so I got a solid month to do things. I'll see what I can whip up and post out for all the people that actually like my writing.
Cheers yall.
