A large shadow of a dragon raced along the walls of a larger than life Hall. Seeming to stretch high up, the form dissipated and there was the sound of boots hitting marble. Eresal, his cape billowing behind him, walked along the rest of the hall, the protective gates closing to the Thrae(Air) Hall. It was where the guard and the rest of the royals took off and landed from in full dragon form. Nodding to a few guards on his way, they flagged him on either side and making it to his bedroom, he dismissed them, slipping inside and closing the door, giving a slight sigh of relief to be somewhere familiar and looked to his arm which had a nasty, yellowing gash. "Ihanen?" He looked around and unclipped the cape he wore and draped it on a long line of hooks, sighing.

She stepped from the Balcony. The day had drudged on boringly. She had nothing to do all day since she had attended to all business much earlier in the day. Eresal had gone off on business as well and she merely watched as the children ran and hid behind trees in the courtyard. From the spot on the balcony she could see so much. A rainbow in the distance, a gigantic waterfall that was used as rest stop for their peoples and the Dream Weavers and even the brief shadows of spells casted by the Drean Weavers. She pulled back, walking back into the room, awaiting with patience the return of her husband and she need not wait for long because within seconds she could hear his voice ring in her ears. She moved past one of the corridors of their room, since it was a very large room, and headed for the bedroom, eyeing Eresal, without a sound.

He smiled when he saw her standing there, all she had to do to make him smile. Walking over, he loosened his shirt slightly, and eyed her up and down."I trust you're well? Nothing troubling?" He was always wanting to know any problems she had, wanting to make sure he was there for her during this time especially. He silently showed her the gash, she was better with healing wounds, he was better at getting them.

She noticed a bit of dirt on him and the wound and took his arm into her hand, walking with him to the bathroom. She sat him down in a chair she had, herself, put in there since he was always getting wounds. She could heal them easily with magic, but at times opted to do it manually, since she could spend more time in his company that way. She pulled out a cloth and wetted it with soap and water. She started to clean his wounds and the dirt around his arms. "No need to worry Eresal. Both I and the child are well. Although, as always they kick very much when you're about."

"I am glad." he smiled and watched her intently. He liked that she did this for him when she didn't have to at all. She was just much better at it than he and he nodded slightly."And our son? He is doing well with training I take it? I'm sorry I was away for so long." he extended his free hand and touched her stomach, closing his eyes and concentrating."This one will be strong too." He smiled contently. He loved being able to have children with Ihanen.

She moved her hand with ease. She had done this since she was a child, even before her parents knew of what she was up to. It was true they had never wished her to mingle outside of their community but it was how she had met him, and even then he was full of gashes and cuts. "Do the words Young Prodigy mean anything?" She smiled briefly. "Just like his father. They'll be singing both your praises for eternity." She moved the cloth away and threw it to the sink, laying her hand ontop of his. "I am sure they will be. With the influence of their brother and father about them, they might surpass you both skill."

"I'm sorry to disappoint, but my children won't surpass me. Then they will think they can do whatever they want, and that is something that won't be tolerated." he smiled and stood up, walking behind her, hugging her this way, his nose rubbing against her neck in a playful manner.

She laughed. "And still you are prideful and arrogant. Just as I love it. But we will see in time. Being the stubborn creature that you are, I would not doubt your words." She giggled and snuggled the back of her neck against his nose, pondering whether or not to speak to him of some business that had been brought to her attention recently.

"You're tense Ihanen." He moved towards their bed slowly, still walking behind her, kissing her neck softly and then sat down, pulling her onto his lap. Moving his hands, he began to massage her shoulders slowly."Stubborn, and you love it, because it's part of how I got you."

She moved joyfully to their bed and sat without argument on his lap. She had spent many nights on his lap, which would explain her current situation, and she smiled briefly. "It will pass." She decided not to speak of it for now. It was best to speak about early the next morning. She chuckled softly. "How could I forget. You, the stubborn Draconian, who actually challenged my father for my hand in marriage. None had ever done such a thing with the ruling King." She smirked. "I'm glad you both get along now, though."

"Yes, well, he had almost no choice. I was going to have you no matter what, even if he continued saying no." He nodded."Later then, you'll tell me?" he tilted his head and rested his forehead against the back of her neck, taking in her familiar scent."Did you use the one I like today?" He was referring to any type of perfume she used.

She nodded. "Yes, later." She grabbed his hand and brought it around him, running her hand along his wedding ring. "I'm glad you defeated him. It showed him that he was not as invincible as he believed himself to be." She nodded. "Yes, the one you bought me on our trip to Brynmaer. Speaking of which, I've been told we have a few refugees from that town. The Graelian forces seem to be moving towards the defenses of the other towns quickly. They will arrive here soon if nothing is done." She frowned. "We cannot have another war."

"It will eventually be taken care of. I have begun negotiations Ihanen. Things will be settled amongst them all, and we will be in peace, but sometimes the only way towards peace is to battle for it." he nodded, remembering several times before becoming King, of going to battle.

She turned her head towards him slowly. "I understand. I'm not as ignorant as these pacifists. I know that at times we must fight to gain what we wish for. But I had a vision. No doubt it was Vheinaon, weaving a future event into my mind from wherever he has hidden himself." She laughed a bit. "His visions have never failed. But I hope this one is the exception."

"Well, then I do not like the way things are sounding, but if it is not good, I will change it. He knows that I do not bode well with what he sends you at all, though sometimes things are good, but there are other things I can't stand for. This will end and begin quickly. I refuse to bring a child into a time of war. I was one myself, and I will never forget the years that I was raised during a time of constant battle."
