tales of winter's fire: part eight: verblindend Licht van nox

"Seth we have a plan to get your daughter back to you." Zedok explained. "But we need your memories of your life." He explained. "No need to be careful we will bring your daughter back to you." Damian scolded. Damian felted with his fingers. "Can you promise that?!" Seth bellowed. Crystal slid him a glass halfway full to the rim. "What is this?"  Seth asked. Seth sniffed the glass for drugs or poison. "I didn't lace it with anything." Crystal explained. Seth glares at them and took a sip. Crystal smiled and tapped her nails on the table. Seth's eyes widened and felt his body give out while falling back, but tried to stand. Crystal smiled and looked at her brother and father pleased and Damian's face was lost in thought but also impressed. Seth turned his head and pushed his dark hair back from his eyes and closed them to see he was in a bed. "My room?" He whispered to himself shocked but amazed. "Seth?" He turned over and saw a lady spoke softly. "Little moon." Seth froze and sat up. "Luna don't wake your dad up." A lady snickered. Seth laughed and smiled. "What do you mean I woke up first." He poked his tongue out at her playfully. Luna looked at him and smiled cheerfully. "Come on you two let me fix breakfast." Seth yawned. He carried Luna on his shoulders and kissed his wife on the nose. A knock on door. "He's here." Luna cheered. Seth glanced at his wife and whispered. A guy with slight tan skin walked in. "Good afternoon am I late?" The door opened up and saw a guy with long dark brown hair in a ponytail. Seth saw  him golden yellow mixed with sturdy brown vest and silver buttons and black silk pants and pair dark black boots. "Oh my god  sir Zain, what brings you out in the city?" Seth asked. "Well I can't see my little cousin and her husband and this little wax moon of girl." Zain answered. He picked Luna up and carried her on his shoulders. "It's ashame of what happened to that lovely couple and the women that was killed two months ago." Zain sighed. Zain released Luna to her mom. "Here's your little one Ashley." He smiled and watched Luna poke her tongue out devilishly and playfully trying to get his attention. "Mom can I show my cousin my new dress and painting?" Luna asked. Her mom smiled and pulled her hair back. "After dinner if he chooses to stay that long." She giggled. Luna face turned a sower and sad. Seth looked at him and walked with him to the fireplace while he put his arm around him. "You know that you and your wife would have been granted the same punishment if you did the same thing." Zain glared his green leaf eyes into Seth's blue eyes. "But we wouldn't." He bellowed. "Seth, I don't want to be that ruler like the past one has been." Zain clinched his fist and sat up from his chair and stormed off. "You should have a little more faith in me." Zain glanced at him. "I do but military is stronger than just ruling...." Seth finished. Seth took a sip of the green tea that was on his arm chair. He is right but... His thought vanished with the smell of  baked potato and pancake wraps. "Dinner's ready." Ashley summoned. Luna looked and hoping on her feet looking at tall pineapple trifle her most favorite dessert. "Mom can I have dessert first." She pleaded. "Not now sweety." She smiled. Zain walked over and snuck into the kitchen and put a small slice of pumpkin pie and gave it to Luna. "Here, now don't tell your parents." He whispered secretly.  Luna grinned and cheerfully and quitely snuck to her room. Ashley put the food on the table. "Seth sweetheart would you go get our daughter." Ashley requested. Seth looked at her and then walked down the hall and knocked on Luna's light blue door. "Luna come down stairs time to eat." Seth told her. This doesn't seem right but something. Is this the weekend.... He thought as Luna walked out in a little midnight blue dress. "Coming." She walked with him and held his hand. Luna walked to Zain and wrapped her little arms around him and his chair. "Luna did you like the pie." Zain whispered with small smile. She nodded and sat in between him and her dad. Zain looked into his coat pocket. "I need your help in this nagotations I'm headed to in two days from now." Zain sighed. "I'm sorry Zain but I don't think it is right to." Seth sighed. Ashley looked at him and asked to see the map. "We'll tell you and send a letter your way." She held his hand quickly under the table. He looked at her and rolled his shoulders back. Ashley smiled at him. Zain rose from seat and wiped his mouth. "Dinner was wonderful sis." He grinned. "Could I have some for the road?" He asked excitedly. Ashley leaned her head against his arm. "Uncle, can I come and visit again." Luna begged. She pulled on his coat gently and pleaded. Zain giggles sweetly and brushed his fingers into her hair. "Maybe before I go but that's up to your parents." He smiled and kneeled down to her and hugged her cheerfully and warmly. "Be good little moon girl." He grinned. He held out his hand for Seth. "Hope your nagotations go well on your trip..." He glanced at him and then at his hand and shook it strongly. "See you later fire spark." Zain smirked and hugged Ashley sweetly. Zain walked with two guards on his way back to his tower. Seth walked into living room and sat by the fire with a cup of coffee. "Ashley please take me with you." Seth requested. Ashley sighed and looked him. "Then who is going to look after Luna if we both go." She looked at him. Seth looked down at his feet and sighed and kissed her passionately and gently. "Come back to us please." Seth whispered softly. "I will and don't worry I'll write to you everyday when I can." She smiled and felt his hand in her hair. "I love you Seth don't worry about me and take care of our little girl ok." She smiled. "I promise I will take care of our little moon child." Seth hugged her warmly and sweetly. Seth took her into there room to fall asleep. "I'll pack your bags for the trip." Seth responded softly in her ear. "Please wait until daybreak." She muttered sleepily. Seth nodded and held her in his arms and felt her head against his arm and his side of the pillow.

Ashley woke up and saw a bag hanging on the door and smiled cheerfully and warmly. "Seth..." She smiled happily and sweetly. She walked to closet and put on her bracelet and put on black leather leggings and a dark blue coat uniform and black and silver boots and put on grey gloves and walked into the kitchen. "You fixed breakfast?" She smiled. "Yep." Seth grinned. Ashley wrapped her arms around him and hugged him. "I made crepes for the journey." He smiled. "strawberry?" She looked at her plate. "It's a surprise." He smirked. Ashley giggled. "Zain is right you know this is a plan for the future of peace." Ashley looked at him. Seth sighed and nodded. "Yes...." Seth looked at her and smiled.
