When the sun came again, Aurora Dawn walked the halls of the castle while the others slept. As she walked she sensed there was other life in the stone halls of Avalon's castle. She walked into a throne room full of powerful beings without a shred of fear etched into her face. She felt her plain clothes change for some reason into a gown of silk and royalty. She did not fear the beings around her but she did fear the gown and the two even more powerful beings who sat and looked at her with power in their entire being. She felt the stares of every being in the room, including the princess as she had walked past and noticed the child walk into the room. The Gathering was a gathering of all of Oberon's children, and was as such, the gathering of the most powerful beings in existence. Aurora walked past the line that waited to greet the lord and lady and knelt before them in her human form with only her gown to cover her fear.

"I heard you summon me and I have come. I am glad to finally meet you in person." Aurora's voice did not waver, nor did her form. Those around her glared with an unrivaled passion. They did not understand who this foolish mortal human was to come in unannounced in front of their father and Lord Oberon.

Oberon looked upon the mortal human with pride, and what seemed to be genuine joy in his eyes. "Ah, the youngest and the last of my children. I am pleased to see you in person once more, my young one. Welcome to Avalon, Aurora of the Dawn. Welcome, my child." He stood up as his wife, Tatania, walked over to the young lady and took her hand as she stood up.

Aurora said nothing but smiled with tears in her eyes. Tatania gazed into her eyes and saw the courage and skills in her heart. "You have passed all of my expectations, my young one. Though now tied to the mortal world in a way that none have ever done so before, your life will still become a long and hard one. I know where you go, and I hope you will find happiness this way." Tatania smiled proudly.

Aurora blushed in confusion. She had never expected her parents to be proud of her, especially when she now realized they were immortal beings of magic while she was without a doubt, a mortal who had raised herself while she had dealt with her own transformations and small bits of magic. "Thank you, Mother. I hope that you will be pleased with my decisions. I wish to live among others as a member of something. The gargoyles have given me a chance to live among them at night. I pray you will allow me this chance at a real life, Mother? Father?" She looked to both who simply nodded with contempt smiles. She accepted that she would never be able to call this place her home so long as she wished to live as a mortal and among others.

The blonde human smiled and her clothes transformed back into her original clothing, no longer looking regal, but common. The others looked upon her with shock, save for a few who had been smiling the whole time. Some of them liked her, but it seemed that they would still stay as strangers to her. This was the way of the children of Oberon, but she was alright with that.
