Daine woke up at sunlight and looked over to see if Kaddar was awake yet. This is going to be the best thing I've ever seen Numair do, she thought. She laughed so hard she cried when she saw that Kaddar had already gotten the dung all over his face. And he wasn't even away yet. Daine got up and realized she wasn't going to let Kaddar do this. Daine started walking in the direction that they had come. She wasn't letting an imperial jerk ruin her first day of freedom form a life time of hurt.
Daine walked for about an hour until she heard Kaddar yell her name. She started into a run. Don't let him win, she told herself. Daine shape shifted into a bird. She picked up her clothes with her claws and flew low to the ground. In an hour she was about twenty miles away from where she had started. Ashe landed next to another small watering hole. She shifted back and decided to go for a swim before she got dressed. Daine let the cool water run all over her body. She remembered how Numair's muscles gleaned in the sun when they were wet. Gods, she thought falling head over heels for the mage, he's so handsome. Daine knew she was fawning over him, but she didn't care. She was allowed to, seeing as she was his wife.
Daine got out and laid on a rock until she was dry. Before she was she decided to wash her clothes as well. Only one thing, the waster made he clothes turn white. Diane sighed and decided that it didn't matter, because they smelled really good now. She got dressed and brushed her hair with some reed she found. She was perfectly happy watching the waved in the water. Diane got up and began to spin in circles. She laughed out loud. She stopped and smiled. This was the first time she had lived with out the pain and hurt she had always had. She felt like the three ton bricks she was carrying had just vanished. Numair was, once again, right.
Daine sat down to watch the stars and smiled. Numair was probably naming them all off right at that moment. He was probably thinking of her and toying with his focus. Daine smiled and thought of the little locket. Daine loved to tease Numair and tell him that it wasn't a way to find her, but a lover's token. Numair hated it, too. He would always tell her that he didn't need a lover's token because he could just come home and bed her. Daine, then always, stuck out her tongue at him and allowed him to take her into the bedroom.
She heard footsteps behind her and she turned quickly. Her father was standing there behind her. He reached out his hand.
'Come on, I believe you've caused enough trouble for a while.' The god remarked.
'But Da, Numair is-' Diane tried to tell him.
'I'll get him. Come, you're mother wants you first.'
Daine took his hand and felt the ground move. She ended back up in her room at her parents. He mother was not all that happy with her. She gave her a bowl of soup and before she gave Diane her, eat or you'll get it speech Diane had finished half the bowl. Sarra was surprised. Daine had never eaten with out having to be given that speech. She asked for two more bowls of the soup. When she was finally done Diane fell asleep. Sarra looked at the god standing in the doorway.
'Was I just seeing things, or did our daughter just eat on her own?' Sarra asked. Weiryn just stared at his daughter.
'Whatever that mage did, I could kiss him for.' Weiryn replied. 'Or we're both seeing things.'
