Heart: Obviously!

Wings: ANYWAY! Here's a note from the author!

Heart: a.k.a. the two of us...

Wings: What?

Heart: Just read the profile!

Note from the Author: Hello once again! For all of you who thought the first chapter was missing a

little something, please give me an example or idea that I can throw in. Or if you believe that it is fine the way it is, please tell me.

I'm thinking about going back and redoing the chapter(or at least adding onto it), so all advice would be appreciated.

Thank all of you who read the last chapter, and especially those who reviewed. Your advice was helpful, and

I'm going to need more of it to improve. hint hint If my last chapter board you then my deepest apologies,

I'm not going to give any excuses because there isn't one. I'm Not really good at beginnings, weather it be essays or stories

I just don't know where to begin. So hopefully as the story progresses it will get better and I will improve.

Also, please excuse my horrible spelling/punctuation.

Thank you

Chapter Two

A Place to Call Home

The trees stretched their arms out over the city creating a beautiful high arched roof that hid the town below. These plants were not like others that Narya had seen before, they were ancient and tall. Taller than most trees. They seemed to fill the city with a kind of magic that demanded respect and awe.

All the houses were made carefully and in a similar way. They were elegantly built out of smooth stone with two floors and tall windows. The only wooden objects on the houses where the large doors.

When Narya had pointed this out Reyson had stated "It's because we only use wood when necessary, the trees provide us shelter and in turn we honor and care for them." He seemed very educated for one so young, and unlike his mother he spoke the common language all to well.

They spent many hours strolling through the peaceful city, they rarely encountered another being and when they did the Herons stared mouths agape. They were not used to Berocs, especially ones that roamed their city freely. This made Narya uncomfortable.

"Why do they stare?" She asked, turning to the boy. His blonde hair tumbled over his shoulders as he looked at her.

"They are not accustomed to this, Berocs rarely come to our city, and when they do they are normally kept within the castle." He looked thoughtful for a moment, " I would like to meet my sister, would that be alright?"

Before she could answer him a hand lied upon a shoulder of each child. Tibarn stood behind them, his face was calm, but his eyes worried. "Narya, the council wishes to see you now."

---------

They entered circular room, it's walls were made of stone with many windows through which a green light shone. The room gave Narya an uncomfortable feeling, knots formed tightly in her stomach. A long table was positioned at the front of the room. Behind the table sat many winged beings, all arguing amongst themselves. Standing before the table stood a tall richly dressed Heron, with short cut blonde hair.

When Narya and Tibarn entered the man turned around. He seemed kind enough at first glance but when you looked into his eyes pure venom looked back at you. He was obviously not someone to be messed with.

What's going on? Narya wondered. When the other council members settled down an elderly Laguz, who sat at the middle of the table, stood up. His long robes moved soundlessly and his hands gripped the edge of the table as though he might fall.

Looking at the child he called out "This council has gathered today to determine what is to become of this child," He said with authority "She was found two moons ago by Her Highness and was brought back here for protection and recuperation." The winged man sat.

Another man stood. "I suggest we keep her here for learning purposes," He said studying Narya , "We know so little about humans, it seems only right that if we keep her it be for a good reason."

"She is only a child, she needs not pay for her housing, or her food. She must be cared for by an adult and not studied like a specimen." Tibarn said sternly. His caring eyes caught fire as he stared at the man.

This statement aroused more bickering amongst the group. More proposals where offered, but thought better of later on. Half of the group thought it wise to just dump her somewhere, the other half wanted to keep her in the city under an appointed guardian

"She should be raised by one of the locals" a Short Bald Heron said in a squeaky voice.

"She is none of our concern!" Said the Laguz on the end of the table.

Narya stood uncomfortably near the heavy wooden door with Tibarn. She found herself growing board as many children easily become and slouched lazily. Looking up at the Laguz she asked "Sir, Why is this such a big deal? Can they not just decide and send me on my way?"

A chuckle escaped him. "Do you care so little as to what will become of you?" He asked.

"...No, I'm just bored is all."

"As Am I," He laughed. His scared face became thoughtful for a moment. He looked at her for several moments, then took a step forward calling for attention.

"I propose a compromise." His voice echoed across the hall. "I will adopt the girl."

The room went into a frenzy again. The Nicely dressed Heron looked upon the council. "Let Tibarn Speak!" His voice Boomed. The Hall went quiet and The Laguz turned to The Green winged man.

"Please, explain further."

"Narya will stay two seasons here with a chosen family" Tibarn said turning to the elderly man he said "That would suit you Gregof?"

"Yes, as representative of The Queen I believe that would please her. She become quite taken with the child."

"I will have her on the island with me the rest of the year, will that suit you?" He asked the Heron at the end of the table.

"...Yes, If that's the best we can do I suppose." He said sounding annoyed.

"Then it is settled." He claimed.

The man standing before the council stared at Tibarn for a moment. He looked amused, his eyes seemed to dance with laughter but his face remained calm. "Tibarn, you surely do not have the time to raise a child."

"I have plenty of time, and no family. I believe that I can give Narya a good home, and who knows? This may be good for me."

Bowing Tibarn turned and left. He opened the door with ease and held it open for Narya who walked out into the lavishly decorated hall.

"Sir?" She said with excitement, "Did you mean it? Can I really come with you?"

He smiled "Yes, Narya. You can come with me."

Wings: Was that one better?

Heart: No.

Wings: I wasn't asking you.

Heart: It's not even that long, are we going through a writers block?

Wings: I don't think so, why?

Heart: Rolls eyes Never mind.

Note from Author: I think this one was a little better than the last... I'm not sure. I tried to add more detail. For those of you that are curious about the next chapter, I will post a sneak peek on my profile. When, I'm not sure, but I'm working on it.

I can tell you that Chapter three will take place nine years later when Narya is 16 ( Reyson will be 18 for those of you who want to know. Tibarn will be...Well I'm not sure). Ideas are excepted, and appreciated.

Thank you for reading
