Epilogue:

It ended up that Kaddar had a crush on Daine since he met her. Diane never knew and was quite unhappy that she had hurt him. Five months after her fight with Kaddar Daine and Numair were married. They were very happy together now they never fought.

'Arram,' Lisly whispered. 'Ma and Da are still asleep.'

'So? I have things to do.' He replied not looking up from his book.

'I'm sorry mister Black Robe. Lets get them up like we used to!' she sounded excited.

'We were what six and two then? I'm twenty and you're sixteen.'

'So it'll be fun come on before they wake up.'

'If I say yes will you leave me alone?'

'Yes!'

'Fine I'm coming.' He sighed.

'They're paining something.' Numair Saliman said to his wife.

'Aren't they always?' she whispered.

'They're going to get us up.' He said reclosing his eyes.

'That means we best fall back asleep.' She whispered.

Just then their two teenage children bounded in and jumped on the bed. Daine sat up instantly not expecting them to do that.

'Aren't you two to old for this?' Numair asked.

'It was her idea. I'm going back to the library.' Arram said.

He made a face when his mother kissed his forehead.

'Sense when are you so much like your father?' she laughed.

'Both of you out.' Numair said giving Lisly a small tickle.

Daine leaned over and kissed him when they were gone.

'What was that for?' Numair asked his wife.

'The same thing it has always been.' She whispered.
