She cleared her throat as Kasim easily saw through her thoughts, and she glanced down at her feet with a shy smile. It was comforting to know that he could tell she was struggling -- as well as what it was that was on her mind. Aviana reached over to lightly squeeze his shoulder and she say...

For a few moments, Alondra said nothing as Kasim spoke. His words should have been comforting, they should have put her at ease ... But in truth they only plagued her guilty conscience. Kasim had freed himself from a life of heartache, control, and cruelty. She was more than happy for him, it...

Aviana stepped out from the door wearing a summer dress with a silvery shawl wrapped around her shoulders. Her hair was starting to grow back out since they'd cut it all those months ago. A warm smile crossed her features when she came across Kasim, slowly shutting the door behind her. "There...

Weariness was already weighing down on Aviana. She was exhausted. It wasn't clear to her how long she'd been awake now, but she knew that her body was in desperate need of rest. As badly as she wanted to stay awake with Kasim, she knew that it wasn't tenable. "Can you take Ein then?" She...

Aviana sighed quietly, resting her head against Kasim's broad shoulder. It felt good just to touch him. As long as she had that, she knew everything was going to be okay. "Tomorrow, do you think we could take the twins down to see Kiovec? He's worried sick." She murmured quietly, placing a...

She held out her free hand to Kasim, inviting him to join her on the bed. There was a gentleness in her expression as she looked up at him. All the stress and worries had abated. Now that the twins had arrived, the only thing that mattered was keeping her family safe, all five of them. No...

She looked down at her son in her arms, smiling softly. Her fingers brushed over the boy's delicate hair, white as fallen snow. Carefully, she bent down to brush her lips against the baby's forehead, nuzzling into him. When she sat back up, her eyes turned to meet Kasim's golden gaze. "What...

Cradling her son in her arms, Aviana leaned over to him to press a reassuring kiss to his brow. Her fingers teased through his short hair, curling behind his ear for a brief moment. "We've gotten through everything else the world has thrown at us, we'll be okay." Her head dropped down, coming...

Aviana raised her gaze from her son's face to first look to Kasim and then finally to Elise. She'd not expected the woman to say something that sounded... Genuinely warm. Then again, she knew that she didn't exactly look like a normal elf. There were horns growing from her skull, for starters...

Aviana listened carefully to what Elise was saying, though she let Kasim speak for now. Her head dropped back against the pillow behind her and she closed her eyes, expelling a quiet sigh. Exhaustion pulled at her, demanding that she rest, but she knew that she needed to be a part of this...

Hours passed, drawing on and on as Aviana endured the worst pain she'd ever experienced. Whoever the woman was, however, seemed to have at least some sort of idea as to what to do. Elise's intervention likely saved Aviana's life. It was early morning the next day when the twins finally arrived...

Aviana was partially submerged in the water that was rising around her form, breathing in heavy, ragged bursts. She turned her blue gaze to seek out Kasim's golden eyes, fear painted into her features. There was a woman behind him, she could see that much; but she didn't quite process just who...

Aviana somehow managed to stagger her way over to the alchemical bag she carried with her. There were herbs inside that she'd been cultivating at the castle in order to help her through the delivery, but she knew they'd leave her in a haze. She hesitated with the plant stems in her hand, unsure...

Aviana coughed, sputtering as she gasped for air. She pressed a hand to her chest, a pained grimace sweeping over her features as the magic lifted. Everything hurt. Her mind immediately remembered what the Well was capable of. She'd seen Kasim use it first hand, and the horrid effects it'd...

Upstairs, in the bedroom, Aviana suddenly cried out in pain and staggered to the floor. She couldn't breathe, couldn't move. Kiovec's powerlessness and fear transferred to her, Elise's magic came crashing down on her at the same moment it did the dragon. It felt as though the world itself was...
