Children of Conte
Chapter 2
By: iluvspiderandprinceharry
Well thanks to the people who reviewed the first chapter. If you didn't notice from my last story, I do read the reviews and often do use your suggestions! I'm glad I've still got some readers and I'm going to try to entwine the stories as much as possible. Now do everyone think I should do PoV stories or just keep it like this?
Roald and Keladry returned their attention to their four children and watched them as they talked about their very different lives. They knew where Thayet, Alanna Jonathan were headed in life, but it was Nealan who worries them. He had a very strong magical gift that was quite prominent at his small age. He seemed to contain the healer's gift of magic, made by the formation of his father's everyday gift and Keladry's strange power. Keladry had learned a lot more about her power, since that day almost 17 years ago when she had saved Roald's life. She now knew that she was a normal mage. She had the power inside her to extract other's gift while they were not in use, to save their life. So when she had saved Roald, she had used his own power to jumpstart his heart.
Sir Alanna still couldn't explain why she couldn't have saved him that day, but believed the Goddess knew Keladry's mission and refused Alanna, and Keladry took her place. Roald was in very vague remembrance of the day, but Kel remembered it well. She still saw the Goddess occasionally in her dreams, awaking her, when someone was in ire need. Kel couldn't save everyone, it was just too hard. She saved the ones that were of use to the Crown, but also once and awhile saved a City folk. It wasn't that she didn't want to save everyone but she just couldn't. She didn't have the time or the strength.
Kel and Roald joined the children's conversation and as Roald talked Jonathan and Alanna about being pages and the easiest way to get through things and life, living under Lord Wyldon (yes he's still alive sorry! LoL) Keladry talked to Thayet about being a court , and little Nealan played with the flowers, poking out of the stones in the courtyard. His nimble fingers pulled out the flowers while his eyes watched the Palace walls. A figure on horseback was approaching through the gate, it seemed to be a man, sitting tall, with his shoulder back and his back straight. Neal recognized the figure, and stood up to see better. The figure got closer and closer and Roald finally turned around to see the approaching. It was his brother Jasson, the youngest. Kel and the other stood behind Roald as Jasson stopped his horse and got off. He handed the reins to a stable boy (who appeared out of thin air!LoL) and staggered backwards as Neal ran forward and charge into him giving him a hug.
"Hey Neal how are you?" Jasson asked, laughing at his nephew's antics.
'He's obviously just like you!" Kel said, and Jasson looked up to see his sister in laws eyes twinkling.
"Oh mommy, they were KISSING in her room!" Roald said in the high pitched voice that was Jasson's as a toddler.
Jasson growled playfully and came over to hug his brother.
"I've missed you Jass" Roald said, into Jasson's shoulder. Even though the boys were 16 years apart ( not really, they are actually like 10 years apart but I like it like this!LoL) they were almost the same height and still got along well. They still matched each other in looks. Jason hugged Alanna and Jonathan, 'His two favorite little pages' and hugged Thayet.
"Hi, uncle Jasson," Thayet said.
'hey sweetie. How was finishing school?" Jasson asked, teasing her.
"I actually had fun so shut up!" Thayet said, pretending to be mad.
Jasson moved on to Kel hugging her tightly. Jasson and Kel were very close and she had taken care of him along with Thayet, Alanna and Jonathan when he mother was killed in a riding accident and when his father was murdered by a Carthaki ambassador. He had been 4 when his mom died and 6 when his dad died. Kel had raised him with his nieces and nephews and he treated like his mother, calling her mom.
'hi Mom, I missed you so much!" Jasson said, all the while hugging her tightly.
"I missed you too baby!" Kel said and they stepped away from each other.
So you like it so far? I do! LoL!R/R
