"Mom, how do you know about kender?" Angie asked in a quizzical voice. With that question her mother's face got a strange expression on it, one of longing and also of pain. "Angie I have to tell you some things that will be strange to you and you may no like them, I am sorry I kept the truth from you for so long but I wasn't sure how you would take it, come on you two". Angie's mom lend them to the living room and had them sit down. "Angie mine name is not Kelly as I have told you, my real name is Kilvana Starbreeze (G.N. so sue me none of you know the whole Starbreeze line) and I am an elf of the Silvanesti nation" Angie stared dumbfounded as her mother told her the whole story of how she had follow through a dimensional portal and ended up here and how she managed to survive to raise Angie, who's father was a human. The whole truth came out in a torrent of explanations of why she had kept it secret and along with some of her personal history. This went on for about two hours until the grandfather clock had struck midnight. Questions had been answered but not all, for some couldn't be, Kilvana's ears had been hid with a small glamour and she thanked the gods that Angie hadn't grow into her elvish heritage yet, so her ears had pointed yet. About a half hour into this Tas had gotten very bored and as you all know a bored kender is a dangerous kender, he had slipped out of the room unnoticed and somehow found his way to the library after stopping in the dinning room and helping to find several lost silver spoons into his pouches, anyway by the time he was in the library it was midnight and he saw a really interesting book titled "Dimensional Travel" he figured that book could help him get back, but the only problem was that the book was too high up to reach so he started to climb the book, not even noticing the ladder that was positioned twenty feet away, he climbed up nimbly not realizing that some books began to fall after he stepped on them in his effort to reach the book he was after, the loud bangs of the books drew Kilvana and Angie to the library, when Kilvana saw what Tas was doing she immediately rushed over and pulled him down off the book case while Angie tried to hide a smile. "What were you trying to do, kill yourself?" Kilvana asked, "All I was trying to do was get at that book" Tas replied innocently and pointed at the dimensional travel book. Kilvana sighed and reached up and pulled the book out "how many times have I considered using this book to go home, but I wasn't ready to tell you Angie not yet, I kept telling myself wait until she is older, wait until she will be able to understand, but really I was just afraid of what would happen when my people found out that I had had you, that you were fathered by a human, that would hate me and despise you, I thought it best to wait and now I suppose I should face up to it, we will return to my home, I do not plan to stay but I wish for you to see part of my past, it is the first day of your summer break, we will have three months there before we return, we leave the day after next when the star are properly aligned, now off to be and Tas I want that silver wear back".
