Alanna woke with a gasp.
"What's wrong?" asked George sleepily
"I just had a really strange dream?"
"Was it about that girl again?"
"No, well, sort of. I was on this island and everything was much brighter that usual. The Goddess was there, she told me that I had to help this girl and what I had to do"
"So are you going to help her?"
"Of course but the stuff, its pretty deep, I'd better talk to Numair"
"Well you'll have to wait for a while, it isn't even dawn yet"
"I'm sure we can think of something to keep us amused"
"Oh?"
Later on that day Alanna contacted Jon through the fire, telling him that George, Alanna and kitten would be arriving in the palace the next day.
As they road into the city Alanna realised how much she missed Corus and all the good time she'd spent in it, she still considered it home to her even though she knew George wanted her to think of Pirates Swoop as home now
She was so wrapped up in her thoughts she it took her a few seconds to realise they had arrived at the Dancing Dove.
"My second home," said George with a glint in his eye "I hope the now Rogue is up to scratch. Though I doubt anyone can replace yours truly!"
"Modest are we?" laughed Alanna
"As always, now come on inside."
Alanna and George entered the Dancing Dove to a great cheer all round and Alanna felt herself smothered by hugs.
"Get off, get off, your killing me here!" shouted Alanna
When she could see again she saw herself surrounded by familiar faces, much to her embarrassment she felt tears prickling at the back of her eyes "Gods I missed" them she thought reverently
Rispah seemed to have noticed her plight because she tactfully suggested everyone went to a room upstairs where they could talk in private.
So Alanna, Rispah and Mistress Cooper went upstairs where they could talk in private while Gorge went to talk to the new Rouge.
"Now," announced Rispah whenever they arrived "I want to hear all the craic Alanna, hows married life suiting you?"
"It's grand." said Alanna a little bit aversely.
"Come on Alanna, you have to tell us more than that" laughed Mistress Cooper "No little ones on the way yet?" "No!" exclaimed Alanna, going crimson.
Everyone else laughed, tactfully Mistress Cooper changed the subject, "So what brings you 2, to the city?"
Alanna then told them the full story, when she had finished they both looked worried but Rispah , seeing Alanna's tired and worried eyes suggested they retire for the night "You've been travelling all day, it's to late to go to the palace today, you can sleep in the spare room. Come on, 1'll send George up whenever he's finished grilling the new Rogue, good night for now"
Later on that night Rispah, George and Mistress Cooper sat up talking.
"I'm worried about her Mother" said George in low worried terms "She's never done anything like this before, no one has, not even Thom or Numair"
"I'm sure the Goddess wouldn't have asked her to do it if she didn't think Alanna was capable of it" said Mistress Cooper wisely
"Don't worry George, Eleni's right and Alanna can look after herself" added Rispah
"I know she can look after herself but Immortals don't think the way we do, do they?" George pointed out.
"Stop worrying and get some sleep," ordered Mistress Cooper firmly "and don't mention any of this to the lass either."
The other to mumered their agreement before setting of for bed.
Alanna was fast asleep whenever George entered "What have you got yourself into now, Lioness?" he mumered to her.
The next day Alanna felt butterflies in her stomach. "Don't be silly" she told herself crossly "It's all over with Jon, we're both married and I've more important things to think about"
She still couldn't stop thinking about what might have been.
"Are you ok?" asked George tenderly.
"Yeah, I'm just a little nervous since the coronation and everything"
"Don't be, here we are anyway."
She looked up to see Jon and Thayet riding out to meet them.
A/N; I know its short and nothing exciting happened yet but it's all to come I just have to build up to it but I'm to tired. Please R&R to give me an ego boost to keep me writing and thanz to rampage786 for reveing me and ignore all spelling and grammar mistakes, there not my strong point especially names.
