Iyora

Epis, Enisia and Feia were collected by Airabella later that day. Maiguh was curt with Airabella, who was grateful in return. The three were sad to leave their cousins so soon. Airabella was grateful to see them though. She had told Onicent they were with her sister Serse, but secretly Airabella felt a sense of vengeance by allowing her children to be with a person Onicent seemed to hate. Airabella could not understand Onicent's hate for Maiguh, he was far more polite and kind to others then Onicent ever was.

Feia was unusually quiet and clung to Airabella as if her life depended on it. Enisia and Epis were still full of energy, and they told Airabella all about there time in the End.

"You must not tell your father you were here." Airabella told them carefully. They all nodded solemnly.

Onicent was waiting for them, when he saw them he spread his arms out and smiled. Epis reached him first and Onicent ruffled his sons hair. Enisia stayed back a bit, besides she was tackled half a second later by her many wolves. Feia was last, she only reached Onicent when Airabella did. She did not get very close to Onicent, but he still gently touched her hair too. He then took Airabella's hand and lead her inside.

Airabella could tell he was in a good mood. Then she saw why. Amos stood in the throne room, a big smile on his face.

"Mother, I have returned home," he said.

Airabella felt tears prickle at her eyes. 

"My son has decided he wishes to join our assembly as our sixth member." Onicent said proudly.

Airabella smiled too but a bit more weakly. She knew why Onicent was happy now, Amos would extend his power. But outwardly she only expressed her pride.

"I will be calling my siblings to make the announcement." Onicent said.

That made Airabella slightly happier, she missed Serse and Alora. Besides she would be happy enough to see Farren and Dauntice too. The family felt best together she decided, she disliked how fractured they felt. 

Airabella and Onicent drifted off to the gardens together, Feia followed them. Amos went off to practice sword fighting, and Epis went with him. The only one left in the throne room was Enisia. That was when she felt a strange pull towards one of the thrones. She walked to her Mothers throne and saw the chest. It felt like it was alive to her. Feeling nervous but curious Enisia opened the chest. When she saw what was inside she startled. A small girl was curled up in the bottom. The girl in the chest opened her eyes and looked up at Enisia.

"Help me," she said faintly. "Help me please."

Enisia was the protecter of young girls, so instantly she felt responsibility for the child in the chest. She reached in and pulled the girl out, helping her to her feet. She was half the height of Enisia, but looked just as old. Her skin was the palest of greys and her eyes were big and intelligent. 

"Thank you," she said simply bowing her head to Enisia. "I am Iyora." 

Enisia had a lot of questions, "what happened to you?"

Iyora looked embarrassed, "I'm not sure. It was so dark and cold I couldn't see or hear." She shivered slightly.

Enisia nodded, she went down on her knees in front of the tiny girl and put a hand on her shoulder. "You don't have to be afraid anymore, I will protect you."

That was when Airabella returned.
