Disclaimer: * yawns * I have no idea when this story is coming to end. But that's okay I enjoy writing it.

Enter Nadir

The Mistress of Solitude knew that Arianna's father had come to see her. Arianna had always been his pride and joy. The separation caused so much pain for both of them and yet Arianna held no resentment toward her father. She loved both her parents too much to feel anything but love toward either one. That was always a quality that The Mistress of Solitude envied. She was so much more vengeful and bitter. But despite those feelings she cared for her daughter with all her heart. Arianna worried her to no end, it was so unlike her to sleep and it was almost as if she had lost a part of herself with Doyle's passing.

"Are you feeling okay?" she asked.

"Yes I'm fine Mother." Arianna smiled, "I've found an artist for Nadir."

"It's good to see you are back to normal." she laughed.

"Isn't it though?" Arianna said as she shook her head.

The next morning Arianna got to her office early. She was rather excited about her meeting with Nadir. She had always liked Nadir and to actually have an artist for him made her extra happy. She was going over his file when he entered.

" Hello Nadir." she greeted, "It is so nice to see you."

"Hello Arianna." he smiled, "It is always a pleasure to be in your presence."

Arianna laughed as her cheeks turned red, "Thank you. You are too kind. I've found an artist for you."

"Really an artist for me? Now who could possibly want someone like me for a muse when they could have a better known muse?" he joked. "Someone who sees your potential as a great muse." she giggled, "Now his name is Charles and he is a writer. He concentrates on over looked characters in literature. You happen to be one of his favorites."

"Me?" he said with a teasing smile.

"He happens to be a police detective who writes to relax." she laughed, "So you see he's perfect for you."

"Well thank you my dear for finding such a perfect match for me." he bowed, "I can't wait to meet him."

"And I can't wait to see what the two of you come up with." she said handing him his folder, "I'm sure I'll love it."

"Of course you will." he teased, "After all I will be the one helping him and my work is absolutely wonderful."

"Yes it is." she teased back, "But I would expect no less from such a muse master."

"Goodbye Arianna." he said becoming serious, "It is really nice to see you back to normal."

"Thank you for all of your concern." she said as she gave him a hug, "Goodbye and good luck Nadir."

She smiled as she watched him leave; he was such a funny man. No one could tell by just looking at him that he had such a good sense of humor. He always did know how to cheer her up when she really needed it. The smile on her face stayed with her for the rest of the day.

Hope you liked my interpretation of Nadir. It was just the way he came to me. A little different I must so but I hope you liked it. The next chapter may take a week or so, I sort of get busy during the week. Please review I can never get enough.
