Chapter 7
It had been two days and that worried him. Jaenelle shouldn't have been gone this long. All she had to do is tell Harmony how to come back. It shouldn't take this long.

"Daemon how long will they be like this?"

"I answered that question a million times already and the answer is still I don't know. When Jaenelle comes back she will be able to tell us how far down Harmony went." He knew he sounded harsh, he wanted to. Valyn had asked that question as soon as they got everything settled in the bedroom and hadn't stop since then. Looking up from Jaenelle Daemon bit back the comment he was about to make about respect for those stronger than you when he saw tears in Valyn's eyes. "Valyn I didn't mean to sound harsh, I'm sor..."

"Do believe in love in first sight Prince? I do, because the moment I saw your daughter in the forest I knew that we had to be together. I think she felt it to. I need her. I know I was only with her for a few hours at most. During those few hours I felt complete. I haven't felt that way since my mother died."

Looking at Valyn for the first time not as a foreigner but as a man and Daemon realized that Valyn was perfect for his daughter. He was stirred from his thoughts as Jaenelle began to move.

"You think the stupid girl would have the brains to be worried that she would never get out of the Twisted Kingdom. No, she started to sing. I swear to you when she makes it out I'm going to..." Stopped mid sentence she was strangled by Daemon, and then hit in the back of the head. "What was that for?"

"You had me worried. It shouldn't have taken you that long."

"Did you know that your daughter is the hardest person to find when she doesn't want to be? Well she was down so far I almost couldn't reach her. She is going to be a Witch of great power."

Lucky for all the Realms that she hasn't had her first night yet."

Valyn and Jaenelle started to cough and at the same time they both turned red.

Looking form one to the other Daemon was a little confused. "You had better explain what happened."

Composing herself Jaenelle tried not to smile. "You see Daemon; she didn't exactly have a first NIGHT. I was more of a first MORNING."

Sputtering silently Daemon got up and walked toward the door.

"Well then don't ask if I'm all right. It's okay I'll just lay here and rest all by myself."

Opening the door Lucivar gracefully stepped out of the way of his astounded brother protecting his coffee cup and giving Jaenelle an accusing look all at the same time.

Bending to give her a kiss on the head Lucivar smiled. "You haven't been awake more than a minute and you are already making him speechless. What did you do to him?"

"Well he found out something that came as kind of a shock. You know that he doesn't take surprises very well."

"You look like hell witch child. Get some rest and we'll deal with Daemon's surprise in due time, won't we Lucivar?"

"Another one that doesn't say hello, or I love you. Some people have great manners."

"I love you witch child. Get some rest."

"I love you too Papa, but before I get any rest I'm going to my own room."

Shooing Saetan and Lucivar out Jaenelle got out of bed and looked at Valyn. "She will be all right give her time and she will come back to us."

Staring at Jaenelle's back Valyn hoped that Harmony wouldn't be gone much longer.

Shoving brandy's into his son's hands Saetan shook his head. He expected some sort of a reaction out of Daemon when he found out about Harmony, but Lucivar surprised him. "Why are both of you scared out of your minds because Harmony made love for the first time?"

"It all makes sense now doesn't it Bastard?"

"I never would have believed it could happen. Draca did sound serious when she told us that story."

"Could you please fill me in on this story?"

"A few months ago Draca called us to the keep, you remember don't you? Well she told us a story about a fair maiden that would bring her lover out of the forest to bed him and break herself. The fair maiden came back to destroy the Realms, saving them from certain doom. She saves the Realms with a Jewel not seen by man in a million centuries. She called it the Golden Jewel of the Yellow dragon. She said that this Jewel was darker than the Twilights Dawn."

His hand shaking Saetan tried to pour himself some brandy. He soon gave up and drank out of the bottle. "Never in my life did I think that I would live to see anyone stronger than Jaenelle."

"Father lets just hope that she doesn't become power hungry."

Daemon finally looked up and stared into his father's eyes. "Right now all I'm hoping for is more brandy."

She couldn't rest yet she had to make sure that Valyn fell asleep in the same bed as Harmony. It looked like he was going to break down if he didn't get sleep soon. The best place for him to be right now is with Harmony in body and in mind. Smiling she found what she wanted. "This should make him sleep for a week."

Eyes dropping Valyn shook himself and made sure he didn't fall asleep. He wanted to be there the instant she opened her eyes. *Those beautiful golden eyes with specks of sapphire. * He wanted to see them again so badly he began to cry. *It's not just the eyes you fool you need her as much as you need air. *

Jaenelle opened the door silently to find Valyn with his head bowed over Harmony. "I told you that she will be back soon and you don't have to worry about her. Drink this and curl up next to her I think it will do you some good to be close to her." She floated the drink into his hands and left the room hoping that this would be good for both of them.

Drinking the out of the cup Valyn felt tired. *I guess it wouldn't hurt to get a little bit of sleep. * Climbing into the bed next to Harmony he put his arm around her and began to fall into darkness.
