At first all we did was eat dinner and drink; nothing was really said, I just kept stealing glances at Osiris. Soon after dinner was over and a "meeting" was called to order; Father went threw our family history at first and then each one told us their names and their social standing; there was one that I all ready knew, and I didn't want to know him anymore than I all ready do. En'do, Each time I see him for some reason kind of reminds me of Peewee Herman . . . That show made me cry when I was little, En'do just gives off that vibe to me, but what really caught my attention was that Kan'de was also wanting my hand in marriage, I nearly choked on my drink; and then it was the females that went. I really didn't like any of them, they had that "I'm rich and I like to show it off everywhere I go" air to them.

"The courting of my son will begin after he is done training the Unblooded Warriors for their Chiva; and the courting for my daughter will begin when I say so."

I had to quietly laugh at that, he reminded me so much of James when he said it like that- so fatherly, so protective; something that I didn't know was in him to that level. Well after that whole thing dessert was served; this wasn't as good as the chief that works on the ship, I like his work of art better! I'll be sure to see if he can work where ever I am . . . I'm now starting to turn into a spoiled Princess, I don't want that; but I do like his food better, so I guess its worth it. I was so wrapped up in my thoughts that I didn't know that Kan'de had pulled my chair out from under the table and was holding his hand out for me to take.

"Princess Isis?"

I mentally shook myself out of my thoughts and thanked him as I took his hand, I pulled my hand away and walked on to where Mother was waiting for me. The two of us got to our room with Kan'de and Osiris in tow, they tried to follow us into my room, but I stopped them.

"Sorry boys, but I need to have a mother daughter talk for a while."

They stood out from the door, mother and myself walked in and sat on the bed, she was the first to speak.

"Well what do you think of them Isis?"

"Do I really have to pick from just them; I mean what if I fall in love with someone?"

"You either have to choose from them or marry your brother."

"Sorry mother, but I'm not into incest."

I took a deep breath, and looked out my window.

"I'm just a little scared is all, I don't want to mess anything up; I mean what if one of them know that I don't know anything about the mating system thing, and they use that to their advantage?"

She laughs a little and pulls me towards her, once close to her body she hugged me and stroked my hair.

"I will never let that happen to you Isis; sure things got off on the wrong foot with the two of us, but now I fully see the good side of having you as a daughter. You are the blessing from the Gods to us, not only will I not let that happen, but they will have to deal with your brother and father as well. So there's nothing to worry about, really. I will always be there for you when you need me; Good night Isis."

She gives me a motherly kiss and I hug her and kiss her on the cheek and bid her goodnight as well, she left and the two guys came into the room, the three of us talking and have a few laughs till I got tired.

"Get some rest, the two of you; you will need it. I bid you both farewell and good night, I will see you, Osiris before the sun rises."

With that Kan'de left and I went into the bathroom to go and change, I sat on my bed and looked at him.

"So you start your training again huh."

He nods his head.

"So you wont be my bodyguard anymore will you?"

I asked quietly while trying my best to hide the sadness that rests in my voice.

"You will have to pick a new one, for I will be studying and training every moment I have; there's only three months till the Hunt."

"And what happens after those three months?"

He turned to face me, I wipe my eyes and turn away from him hiding the fact that it hurt to know that he wont be around anymore after all the things that we've done when we first met.

"After those three months . . ."

He pauses for a few seconds, as if thinking for the right wording.

"I have to build up on becoming a hunter, and then leave the hunt and do what it is that I always wanted to do."

"But . . . will I ever see you again after that?"

I just had to ask that question it just wouldn't stop nagging me after I asked my second question.

"I hope we do."
