[SIZE=16] So much has changed since Perago and I retired to our house at Rondora Lake. We spent many an hour together and eventually I found myself pregnant. At first I was frantic, how will I serve the Lady in such a condition? How can I keep a child safe when Blood is about? So many questions, so few answers. Perago was there for me as usual and comforted me in the midst of my personal storm.
The months that followed were happy with Perago beside me and I was, for a while, content with my life. Perago had even asked Alethea to come and live with us during this time since housing was sparse and her being a friend. Then came the day when the life in me would no longer be content and came forth.
I was no less surprised when I found out that there were two lives within me, a boy and a girl! We named the boy Panros and the girl Alihana. It is easy to see the Human and Elven in both of them. These two are the most precious treasure bestowed up me by the grace of the Lady.
It was so hard at first caring for the two children, always up and needy when we needed to be asleep. The children have become like fish, we spent many a happy day watching the children swimming in the lake while we sat on the island.
The days have turned into weeks and the weeks into years and before long they were toddlers getting into all kinds of mischief as children are wont to do.
The children have become great swimmers their age. They are wonderful to have near me but I chafe at being at the house continually and feel the need to return to a more active role. With Alethea at the house I feel less guilty about leaving the children. Guilt still haunts me at leaving the children but I must do as the Lady wills.
Eventually however I felt the call of the Lady. Long enough had I neglected my duties to the Lady and she wanted me back in the land to spread her faith into the world again. Alethea it seems at the same time developed a desire to retire from roaming the lands. We could think of none other better qualified to care for our children in our absence so we asked her outright. We were pleased that she agreed and the children thought of her as an aunt already which calmed my heart.
Coming back into Mistone was both happy and sad. Some of the friends I knew are nowhere to found. Where is Toli? Where is Kreder? So many new faces that I don’t know.
I have seen more followers of the Lady of Doom, which is hearting to me. Now we may see more of a growth in the followers of the Lady. I have also been donating to the temple more frequently to help increase the influence of the temple on Mistone and hopefully Dregar.
