Denira 7:

I was.... dumbfounded by the “birthing”. I could see why that hadn’t happened with me - because at that point Siara hadn’t a husband so it was more that we chose each other. But - it was a very.... emotional thing for me. As well as for Lucia, Paranna and Termoru. So - Lucia would be a somewise cousin, instead of a sister. That was well. Because I would have a brother - oh yes, my insight due to wakening mage-gift let me know even that.

I went about the duties of the day, lessons, food preparation and so on - but I was uneasy in my mind. Those - people - in that castle kept wandering through my thoughts. They seemed to have wanted Siara to live there. She didn’t intend to I knew. But.... someone should. So, acknowledgment of the situation seemed to release my mind from that particular issue; and I’d think about a solution.

Nokkara was happier with me. “Eh, you shouldn’t be without your mother while you go through this. I know she has things....”

“Nokka - she’d take me with her. But I might be in the way....”

She went away like all of us mages did sometimes. When she was back, she looked at me, and said.... “She NEEDS you along when she talks to that prince....”

And then she gave me some spells to practice as if none of that had happened.

Now, I had chills chasing shimblenidders down my back. Because when Nokka had said that.... I KNEW it for truth.

Mama wasn’t going to like it....

Not often I encounter a word I haven't heard these days, but "shimblenidders"? :) That's a new one!

Nice job.

Heh.... neil, I invented it. It's MY word. It's a combination of goosebumps, shivers due to fright, and just plain.... fear.

Denira 8:

Well, that was a little too mild. She not only didn’t like it, she forbid it. And I.... got stubborn. We - had a flaming row out in the very public middle of the Ridge....

And after it was over, she and Andur sat me down and said some things that I probably needed to hear. Such as: you don’t wash dirty linen in public - the next time something like this comes up, we go somewhere else to talk about it. And we talk - we do not scream. I was a bit - upset - at that.... because she had done most of the screaming.

But then again, pregnancy was known to cause - issues - so maybe that was part of it. In any case, I simply sat there, nodding agreement.... and then said “I’m going with you. Nokka says you need me.” The which I’d said before, but they hadn’t been listening.

Siara threw her hands in the air, and then slumped down with her face on her knees. I looked at her, a bit worried, but - well. It’s something I have to do. And she’s going to have to deal with it. And, yes.... if I were my mother, I’d tan my hide. But. I’d also accept the need to become part of this.

Andur took her off into the small room where they slept. I went outside, and Lucia grabbed me. “Well, that was - an explosion. You - you really think you need to go with them?” She seemed - worried.

‘I know I do. I knew it before Nokka said it. If I’m not there - somehow, NOTHING will ever get fixed.”

“Oh. I’ll miss you.... but I wouldn’t go for anything in this world!”

I knew why too - her life had been so.... awful.... that living here, having a ma and da, was the best thing life had ever handed her. She is - more fragile - than I am. Her story was even worse than my own....

A seven-day later, we set out for Dawnstar.

Yikes! Well done Sere, but I'll say it again, Siara has surely got her hands full! Poor Andur, but I think his strength is up to it. :) Can't wait for more!

I'm going to write Deni with Siara for a bit - since they're going together.... whether Siara's happy or not!

Denira 9:

So. It took us two days to move everyone and their possessions through the portal outside Falkreath. We had to pack wagons, drive the folk to the portal, unpack the wagons, and then send people through a couple at a time with some small items. I went with the first group to ease the “introductions” to the metal people in the Castle, and to set up living areas with the help of the steward, Lahar. Then I returned, helped the rest empty the wagons, and then we went back for more of the family.

I was so tired when all were gone but the miners that I really just wanted to collapse into bed. But considering, it also thought I’d sleep better in the Castle than here - where daedric princes might be a problem.

So I followed the last - my mother and father, Selalla, and Termoru, Paranna and Lucia. The Castle was a bit - in an uproar.... Lahar seemed a bit perplexed about the fact that he and Lamashtu had gone from being alone again to hosting nearly thirty people!

By the next day, things were calmer. There was enough housing for everyone - the original owner of the Castle had set up a large area just for the workers. It was fully large enough for even more should we need it. There were baths, and a kitchen.

“There you are, Deni. We need to talk to Lamashtu about use of things like the Study and Glass Garden. And are you still studying with Nokkara? If so, the Study will be nice for you to use I think - quiet, and apt to the use of mages.”

“Oh, yes, and in fact after missing these days while we were getting moved, I need to get back to it!”

So we spoke to Lamashtu, and she insisted that the Castle was more Siara’s than hers now, and of course we were all to use it as home: books, rooms, garden and all. I felt rather sorry for the two ancient metal people - to have lived so long alone, to have faced all that they faced, and to have only humans to live with now.... for their siblings in the underworld could not be redeemed apparently.

A few days later, Lucia and I and a couple of the other children were just finishing cleaning out the pond in front of the courtyard, when Siara and Andur came out of the house. They were dressed for the road....

I stepped toward them. “Deni. We’re going to go into Falkreath to see if we can find Anki. Selalla thinks she needs help....” I waited, but considered they probably didn’t need me along.

“Be careful and safe, then!” I hugged them both and waved as they turned back to go to the Travel Room.

I heard Siara as they opened the door: “I thought she’d want to come along.” I knew Andur replied, but wasn’t sure what he said. I had things to do here though.... but perhaps I could go the next time.
