Shadows Return ...

[Valkryn Valdrin Jabbuk]

-=( Stepping Through The Caveran Entrance He looks Over The Realm Where Rivvin Che'el Lies ... Home To House Navere. He Sighed out As this Was A sight He Had Actually Missed For Awhile Now. It has Been Months Now Since He's Been Home on a Secret Mission to whats Left of Ched Nasad. He was Tired, Sore .. Seen More Blood and Battle He wondered How the Pregnancy was Coming along, How she was doing? Howthe child was Doing as well.Than He Cared To Admit And all He wanted was to Return Home .. and return to her. He had not be able to sense Her presense in awhile now .. due to the fact that his focus had been entirely on the matter he had at hand. Now He closed His eyes As he looked Out over the vast realm, feeling out for Her .. He had hoped she hadn't thought he'd abandoned her. Not even the Gods would Keep him away from her he swore and He ment to Kept that vow. He Opened his Eyes, Letting the link open as He SmiledAbit, Simply Whispering so Only she could Hear him .... )=-

-=( He has been studying Here for quite Some Time Now, since the Former Queen of Kielders Return and his Own return from the whats left of the Drow city of Ched Nasad .... Imoen's return has Him studying the Past encounters ... plus A few Other things. Then this news about This Minor house in Menzobarrazan wanting to sway him to their house in hopes of gaining an advantage for an upcoming war ... One He did not care to do ... and why Would he? His loyalities were to House Navere and Illharess Gia herself ... more Gia than the House ... He found it absurd that such an attempt would even be attempted. Abit TOO Ambitious he thought ... Let them fight out their little conflict for all he Cared .... He Had Greater Conerns. The coming child Gia was carrying ... their second child together. He wasn't their to Help raise their 1st, Child - Valas .. Circumstances beyond BOTH of their control prevented that ... Elora wasn't his Daughter But he did help in a way raising her. However, It was only as a teacher .... This would Be Different. But then again, wasn't it always? He wondered How he would Do as a Father .. would the child have a choice, or be enslaved and Brain washed by the Academy of Lolth as the others .. would he or She Choose A Different Path? And if so, How would this Affect The house ... He Himself trended a fine line as a Choosen Cleric of Vhaeraun .... So many Questions .. so many possiblities ...He studied Over the History Of the Navere family, noting the past 'Glories' in the Name of the Lady Of Chaos ... Achivements, Honourary Titles And Such ... Quirking A Brow he found Several Tomes of Gia's Own Mother .. She was The One Who Truly Started To Make Navere Powerful ... And Yet, He was her Downfall ... Gia Accsention as Matron Made Quite A few Question as normally It would Go to the Older Sister, Chaka, But For some Odd reason, Chaka Didn't want it And Remained in Menzobarrazan to Continue her Advance Studies And begin Her House There. It was Good To Have a Outpost/House within the City - a Sanctuary of Sorts But Chaka and He NEVER got along ... but that Was another story for Another Day. He Sighed as He leaned back, Looking Around the Study. He glanced at the mark on his palm, tracing along the edge with his thumb .. The mark of the anicent Elven Bond ... a act - a ritual his people had long forgotten and foresaken .. yet He & Gia Performed it. He was certain Her Mother Would Gravely Disapprove if She was still alive and try to kill them both or turn them both into Driders .... by the Nine Hells, It went against BOTH their Beliefs to Bond .. But There was something Beyond what their respected Beliefs preeched between them. Something not even the Gods Lolth, Vhaeraun, Or Even Corellon Larethian himself could Prevent or deny ... as if It was Ment To Be ... or Something They have shared since LONG before they were even Born. He wondered How She Was resting ... closing His eyes to Feel her .. sense her ... they Both practiced the Elven Reverie, something He has Noticed ALOT of his Kin had no longer done anymore ... The Ilythiir had forgotten to Dream It would seem. But he and Gia both Kept up with the Practice .. finding It Important part of their Hertiage and Culture ... He Felt her preasense, Saviouring it as It seemed To Fulfill Him ... And then, For The 1st Time, He Felt The preasense of the child she carried. THIS was something He had Not expected. He focused on the unborn child .. feeling it Through The Bond .. a sensation Came Over him .. as if the unborn child recongized who it was and Yet seemed curious about him ... as he was of the child ... )=-

"Siyo Usstan tlun dosst Ilharn, ussta dalhar"

-=( He Got Up And Exitted The study, Entering The Family Quarters Of House Navere ... He Made His way Down The Long Corridor nodding At Chaka's Vanguard Who Kept a Vilgiant Watch over Gia ... He Assured them He was no threat, something they've Come To know By now But Their Duty Remained .. something He had to admit - impressed him. Yes, He WOULD offer Chaka his thanks for these Vanguard .. It DID make him breath easier. He quietly Enters Gia's Chambers and Watches Her For The Longest Time. A Mother usually enters reverie in the mid to late stages of the pregnancy and stays in this state to commune with her child often, more and more as the day comes close. He watches Her Closely, Taking A Seat, Sitting In it Backwards, Leaning against the Back as He Watched Intensily. She Literially Seemed To Glow to Him ... Usually Drow Women Tend To find Birth's Long and at times Painful, But Gia seemed to Be Experincing a form of consisant 'Chad-zak', an an intense rush of euphoria that the mother experiences when a foetus succeeds in eliminating a rival foetus if the rare occassion the the mother is carrying twins. THIS was Different It Seem .... she was completely at peace .. as if her Goddess could not touch her .. or somethinmg more Deivine had blessed her .... it literially amazed him and He only felt a instensity for Gia moreso at the sight of This . He could not say why .. It was just an Effect She Held Over Him. He Grabbed A Blanket, Drapping It around her Form In the anicent reverie after removing his Gear. he Climbed Upon the bed, Looking Over Her form and Held her Hands in his own, Entering The reverie himself, Linking them in rest )=-
