The Portal Key. Friends | Enemies

Still remember |y.1881

The early autumn sun is shining through the windows in the family Khain's mansion, you can hear the excitement of the family's young daughter Lucinda laughing and running through the corridors, and mentally getting ready for a ride on horseback with her older brother, just so their parents could have their early morning coffee by the fireplace in peace.

It was not a big mansion, but it was big enough for the four of them and the house elf Minix.
The mansion had four floors, it was soft and warm and the light came naturally from the windows to create a cozy atmosphere. At night they use lamps, string lights, and candles to add a relaxing glow. In the beautiful Entrée Hall two pillars of white marble reach from floor to ceiling and are detailed with grey marble on the top and bottom, the floor was in smoke oak tree placed in the aesthetic fish bone texture in almost every room, except in the Entrée Hall, corridors and Event room, those rooms had a simple beautiful white and sand-colored London Mosaic floor, the kitchen had Sideway Schakboard decorated floor in white and blue-grey, as the bathroom had a white marble floor, and all the walls and floor in each every room matched and complement each other and the ceilings was decorated with beautiful early 1800 French carving. The furniture was welcoming and very functioning in deep brown Chesterfield design with copper details. The gold decorations gave some warm feelings here and there with candleholders, small statues, and serving trays on the dark oak coffee table and bookshelves, as their mother's plant just touched it up everywhere and gave it an organic nature.
There were also paintings, and books all over the rooms showing the Ravenclaw side of their father. But something that made the whole place feel like home was the fabrics that were in the colors of the season, which is today the autumn's beautiful colors.

"HURRY UP DERIUS!"
Lucinda shouted with a bright smile and soft giggle as she ran through the hallway on her way to the entrée hall, as Derius was walking just behind his sister with his long legs.
Derius is a young man, tall and attractive for being age seventeen with hazel brown eyes and dark brown hair that end just above his neck. It was often the young ladies noticed his jawline and kind smile. But their company wasn't much of interest to him.
"Lucy, slow down! Or you will..."
He didn't have time to warn her as she lost her footing on the stairs and began falling forward with her head first.
But lucky them, so did someone with a gentle yet still demanding voice, drew out her wand.
"Levioso!"
In the next second, Lucinda floated in the air before she was put down safely once again with her feet on the floor.
"I'm sorry Mother."
Derius apologized with a small smile that also showed that he was ashamed.
"No worry dear, I just knew it would happen."
Their mother Marietta answered back with a warm, soft voice and light giggle that was hiding behind her words.

Her smile was resting softly on her lips, and her eyes were ice blue like a siren's
"Dangerously captivating" was something their father called them, and her hair was long and light wavy in ash blonde color, and she wasn't very tall, maybe two inches shorter than the average woman.
But she was beautiful, a woman their father was madly in love with and proud to call his wife.

"Lucy, come here dear," their mother commanded with the same gentle way, and Lucinda of course listened to her and walked over with a soft smile resting on her lips and Derius was patiently waiting for his sister to be done talking to their mother.
He hears them talk about how Lucinda needs to be more careful and listen to her brother, which makes him laugh a bit because that was something impossible, and even if Lucinda did listen to him, was there no question for him, he knew that he needed to keep his eyes on her like an eagle after its prey or whatsoever.

When they had said their odd good morning to their mother, so did they leave both their parents to have some alone time, as the two of them were out for a ride.

Derius kept Lucinda in the front of the saddle to keep her safe and keep a close eye on her, he didn't need to do anything else because he trusted their mother's white Friesian mare to hold her senses awake for them.
