"It's been four years, Orphen," Cleao said happily. She could feel Taro hiding behind her skirt, not recognizing the strange man. Sachi looked between the two.

"Welcome back , Mr.Orphen," she said, then bowed politely.Although she had been young when she last saw him, she recognized this man who her mother said visited every few years. Orphen said nothing, but his eyes rested on the old pendant of the Tower of The Dragon Fangs that hung around her neck.

"Orphen, I have a wonderful surprise for you," Cleao said, holding her emotions in check.She wanted to hug Orphen from the moment she saw him approaching the mansion, but knew such emotions would confuse her children.

"Hn?"he asked, looking up to meet her gaze.She slowly smiled shyly.

"What is it?" Majic asked Kohana.She had woken him up and he was sitting now while she poked him with a stick. Kohana shrugged. "Who is your father anyway?". Kohana shrugged. Majic raised an eyebrow.

"Orphen...you have an heir!"she said proudly. He seemed confused.She slapped her forehead.She should have known better.Slowly but mysteriously she turned and lifted Taro into her arms, and turned to face Orphen again.She gently held out Taro.

"Master!"Majic said concernedly when Orphen suddenly fell backwards.

"W-when did this happen Cleao?!"he asked. She blinked and pulled Taro back to her.

"The last time you were here.His name is Taro and he's four years old," Cleao explained. Taro was unexpectedly shy, and clutched her for dear life.

"Uhhhh Master? I'm confused.Does this mean..."Majic said, looking from one to the other. Orphen regained his composure. He nodded affirmatively at Majic.

"These are my children," Orphen explained, and wasn't surprised when Majic fainted again. Cleao laughed, she had expected such a reaction from poor young Majic.

"I guess it really was a surprise although it shouldn't be,"Cleao said. Sachi's mouth was wide open.
