A young woman sat in a dark room. She has a small child in her arms. She is rocking her baby to sleep.
***"Hush now my baby,
***Be still now don't cry.
***I'll watch now as your rocked by Destiny's Wind...."
She sang to her baby. His little eyes began to drop as sleep carried him away.
***"Sleep and rember my last lulaby,
***I'll still be your Mother when you fly...."
The young mother lay her baby down and kissed his cheek. SHe walked over to the window, the light of the Mystic Moos suronding her her in an other-worldy light. She sighed sadly and moved away from the window. The door was shut softly behind her as she moved down the unlite hall.

A young woman set at the bedside of a small child.
"Come on Folken, lets get you to bed."
"I'm not sleepy yet I want..." he faded off as he thought os some errend that would prolong sleep a little longer.
"Let me guess...A drink of water?" she smiled paiently.
"No, I want to know if I have a daddy? Denny and Tomi has a daddy, and Keiko is gettin' a daddy soon. Why don't I have one?" Libra took a deep breath. She knew this would happen someday, she jsut hadn't expected it this soon.
"You have an angel for a daddy." she said softly.
"Why doesn't he ever come see me? Dosen't he love me?" Folken asked in inocent confusion.
"Your Daddy loves you very much, he jsut can't be hear right now."Folken was silent for a minute and Libra thought his questions were over, but Folken asked another before she could stand.
"Tell me a story about my dady, please?" He gave her a pleading look. Libra sighed.
"Okay, move over squirt. I'll tell you how we met..."

Libra sat down beside the half-cat girl in the dark libray.
"Is he finally asleep?" Ren asked as the quiet woman sat down.
"He asked about...his father, I didn't know what to tell him." She tiredly pulled her golden brown hair from her face.
One of the women walked in and spoke, "Lady Tashii, there is a message from the Lady Merle." Libra smiled and reached for the seald envolpe. THe woman lite some candles before leaving the room. Libra absently opened the letter.
Dearest Hitomi,
How are you? I am fine. I would like to invite you to our first wedding aniversory celibration. Van won't be able to attend so have no fear, he is out of the relm. Jako's village is hosting the celibration, so it'll be somewhat like a carnval. Please come and bring young Folken and Ren. Chid has also been invited.
Yours,
Merle
Libra folded the letter and taped it against her palm for a moment, thinking.
"Ren, start perparing, we're going to go see Merle.

Van sighed as the King from Valis(I know it's not from Esca, but play alomg with me okay) kept droning on about his daughter. He wanted Van to marry her to strenghten their allians. Van fingered his ring, after he had broken the pendent he had had some of the shards set in silver. It reminded him of his lost love.
"Look, your daughter is 14, I'm 25. I jsut don't think it will work out to the best for her." Van was confused, he thought King Faan was planing to Ally wiht Chid through marriage.
"May I ask a question of you , sir?"
"Yes, I suppose so Van. What is it?"
"Weren't you going to try to get CHid to-" The King of Valis abruply stood at the question. Van sat back warily.
"It was that danged woman he has for his councel. I'm sure you've heard of her. A Libra Tashii or Grey Lady. SHe's doesn't like arranged marriges. BAH!! That Shrew doesn't deserve to be called LAdy. SHe's not gentle. Why she even carries a sword! Humph..." As the King carried on, Van sat an pondered CHid. Vn hadn't seen the boy since the last National Councel and before that it had been months. After Hitomi left Gaea, he hadn't been as faithful to keep in touch with his friends as he should have. Speaking of friends....
"I'm sorry sir, but I have somthing I must attend to. One of my closest friends is having a celibration for her first year of marriege. If I hurry I'll still be able to make it." Van stood up.
"I'll let you go, Van, but if you should see that Young CHid, tell him I wish to talk to him soon." The old King said grufly. Van Knodded and headed for his air ship.
