Mage and Arkan - Complete

Hidden Sactuary

After Scarlett recoverd after the birth of Audra She began to learn the concealment spell from Sariphina. It was a bit hard for Scarlett the first few times but She managed to master the spell at last.

And when it was time for Scarlett and Volemìr to go back home Sariphina came into their room while Audra slept in her crib. Volemìr looked at his little Sister and said to her.

"Came to bid us farwell, Sari?" Sariphina nooded her head and said with a small smile. "Yes, I decided to bid You three farwell before I atend a meeting.

And give this to little Audra..." She then took out a small music box with both the crest of the Lorkor Tribe and the Ora-Tair on the lid. She gave the music box to Volemìr and watched him winding the key and the music box began to play a claming melody.

Volemìr recongized the meldoy and said to Sariphina. "This is the Song of Lorianne..." Sariphina nooded her head and said to him. "I rememberd You humming this song for Audra the night she was born, So now You can play that song for her every night."

Volemìr looked happy and said to her. "Thank You, It was very kind of You, Sari." Sariphina smiled at him and said. "You're very welcome, Vole..."

Volemìr placed the music box in his bag and gave Sariphina a hug. She hugged him back with a smile and they let each other go before Sariphina had to leave for the meeting.

Volemìr grabbed their bags while Scarlett gently lifted Audra from the crib. She looked at Audra with a smile before putting her in the cloth around her chest before leaving with Volemìr.

They went down the steps of the palace and towards their Larkems with happy smiles on their faces. Volemìr placed the bags around his Larkem before helping Scarlett get on Flanna.

Scarlett thanked Volemìr for helping him and gave him a kiss on the head before He went back to his Larkem. He stopped when He felt someone watching him and turned around and saw Oron at the top of the steps.

He looked at him for a few secounds before turning away and got on his Larkem and riding away with Scarlett and his men. 

And after a few days of traveling they finaly reached their hidden home where they were greeted by a few Arkans. Xander even came to greet them when He heard they were back and said.

"Welcome back, You two. How did it go?" Scarlett got off Flanna and said to Xander with a calm look on her face. "They didnt want to come live with us here, but instead We have forged an alliance between the Ora-Tair and our people."

Xander looked happy to hear that and said. "Well I guess its better than nothing I guess... At least they taught You that spell..." Before He could finish his sentence before He got distracted by the new born baby girl in Her arms.

He looked at Audra for a few secounds before looking up at his little Sister saying. "Is... Is this...?" Scarlett gave him a smile and said. "Meet Your Neice, Audra Lisir Lorkor..."

Xander looked at Audra in awe and said. "She's wonderful..." He looked back at Scarlett and said. "May I?" She nooded and gently placed Audra in Xander's arms with a smile on her face.

Xander looked at his neice and said. "Hello Audra... I'm Your Uncle..." Audra's brown eyes staring at her Uncle with confusion witch made Him chuckle.

Lura and the girls came to greet Scarlett and Volemìr and stopped in their tracks when they saw Audra in Xander's arms. Lura looked at Scarlett and said with a suprised look on her face.

"Is that Audra? When did You give birth, Scarlett?" Scarlett looked at her and said with a smile. " Just two week ago." Lura looked at her and said as She got closer to Xander while holding Valshi in her arms.

"two week ago?! Why didnt You or Volemìr send word of it? Me and the girls would have made her something adorable for Her." Volemìr looked at Lura and said to her.

"Sorry, We were a bit busy and didnt have time to send a message to You all about it." Lura looked at Volemìr looked at him and said with a calm look on her face.

"I see... Well at least We get to spend some time with this Cute little Sunshine..." Audra let out a cute little sneeze as her little ears began to twitch just for a few secounds.

Xander chuckled a little to before handing Audra back to her mother. She smiled at Her Brother and was about to say something when Luria walked over to them saying.

"I see You have returned with our newest member of our Tribe..." Volemìr looked at Her and said with a small smile. "Hello, Luria. I do hope everything has been doing well while we were gone?"

Luria nooded her head and said to him. "Yes, Everything have been going well... I hope everythingwent well with the Ora-Tair..." Volemìr's smile faded and said to his Aunt.

"It went well, We have made an alliance with the Ora-Tair and they will come and aid us if we are discoverd and attacked..."  She noticed the sudden change of his expression and saw the look of anger in his eyes.

A look She's well too familiar with and said to him. "Is there something the matter, My Boy?" Volemìr looked at Her and said. "We need to talk in private... Its about "Him"..." 

Luria knew who He was refering to and went with him to speak in private while everyone else stayed silent. Xander watched Volemìr leave with his Aunt before turning to Scarlett saying.

"Him? You two didnt run into the Emporor while You were on Your way back?" Scarlett shaked her head and said to him. "No, We didnt run into him or his men... We just meet someone who Volemìr has a grudge against..."

Luria and the girls knew who She was refering and knew it wasnt pleasant. One of the Arkans also knew as well and said. "So You two ran into Oron... What has that bastard been doing all these years after he abandoned his Mate and two Sons?"

Scarlett looked at him and said. "Its not my place to say, and I dont think Volemìr want to talk about him to anyone else except for Luria..." Everyone stayed silent for a few secounds before Rena decided to change the conversation.

While Scarlett went to check on Volemìr and left Audra in Xander and the girls's care. She went to their tent and enterd inside and saw Volemìr sitting at the edge of the bed with a thoughtful expression on his face.

She walked over to him and said. "How did Luria take the news of Oron being the Father of Sariphina?" Volemìr looked up at her and said. "She were suprised at first but became furious...

If Oron were here right now She would tear into him for what He did to Me... Did to My Mother and Brother..." Scarlett sat next to him on the bed and said to him.

"I understand that You're angry, I am still angry at my anscestor for what She did 400 years ago. But that dosent change that Me and our Daughter is target for the Emporor...

You can hate on Oron all You want. But right now We need to focus on making sure this town is safe and raise our Daughter with the others..."

She then gently held his hand and said with a sweet smile on her face. "Audra needs Her loving Parents and help raise her into a wonderful person who is kind, caring and isnt afraid to do what's right..."

Volemìr gently squeezed her hand and said. "You're right... Audra and everyone needs us to make sure they are safe... And protect the furture generations of Arkans..."

Scarlett kept smiling and said to him. "Furture generations who will do great things for this home of ours..." Volemìr looked at her and said with a calm look on his face.

"We really need to come up with a name for this place instead of calling it hidden paradise or home..." Scarlett thought for a secound and said to him with a smile.

"What about We call it... Hidden Sactuary?" Volemìr thought about the name surgestion for a few secounds before saying to her. "Hidden Sactuary? I like it..."

Scarlett gave him a smile and said to him. "Then Hidden Sacturary it is..."
