Hiding. That's what we've been doing for months now it seems. Ceto, seems to not of made it through the portal. My heart breaks for not only myself but Sapphira as well. The depression that followed the loss of one of my daughters, another piece of Brendan... Well, I can't say i've been the best mother. Certainly no mother of the year award coming here. Daenerys has stuck close to both of us, even if it seems that our bond has forever changed. I ache to hear her voice. But she has played with Saph, keeping my precious remaining daughter happy when I could not. I am just happy that I at least have them, while still wishing for the rest of our family. We come out of hiding as Scorch seems to be taking it's toll on our new 'home'. The heat, oh how I am thankful I am more built for the heat. Sapphira, well with her father's heavier build she does not handle it as well. So of course we move about seeking relief from the heat. I have to admit, this new land seems to be my own personal hell. It seems to take away or hurt everyone I love.

What we find, is well a shock to all three of us. One moment, its hot and i'm honestly worried for Sapphira's health, when we step into a Freeze wonderland. Not that it was as harsh as Freeze had been... In fact, it was just perfect. But the best part of all, happened as we neared the tree and the small group that was gathered around it. It's a miracle. My head jerked to my side so fast that if my antlers had not been attached they might of flown off. As it was, the silver chain that Brendan had given to me almost took flight. Dae? I questioned softly. I can hear you! She squealed into my mind. I can hear you too! I exclaimed. For a moment, I pranced in place like an over excited child. Sapphira was looking at me with a mix of joy and confusion. One day, if you ever get the chance to bond you will understand. We settled back down, heading closer to the tree. We should give something, to help decorate the tree. I knew she was right.... But the only thing I had was... I'll be careful. I know what it means to you.

I leaned down, and Dae moved in close to gently pull the chain from it's resting place. Very carefully, she moved to the tree as Sapphira and I looked on and hung it on the tree. I dipped my crowned head down, and sighed softly. So much had happened over the last few years, and I think this was the first time in a long time I had really stopped to think how lucky I really was. I had found love, I have one absolutely stunning daughter who is the perfect mix of Brendan and I... I have Daenerys....

Thank you I speak softly. Thank you for everything..
