Aeron had decided that now was a great time to try and get things for Io and the children. Now Adwen was stronger and able to be with her mother out in the cold. Though Aeron wanted to get the growing girl something like a scarf that she could wear when outside. Today she planned to Bring Adwen with her to the trading festival to show her girl the wonders of the world. She hoped that she would be able to find anything and everything that she needed. She wondered if she would run into other Anathemans there.
“Alright Adwen ready to go?” She asked looking down at the ever growing child. Adwen nodded as she watched her mom strap on the last bag to Elzar. “Horse go” Adwen asked smiling. She had started to grow out of the mumbling stage that Aeron feared was hindering her. She worried that the girl had something wrong with her but as she aged it seemed as though the problems were fading away like her puppy days.
‘Yup we’re going for a ride,” Aeron said as she finished tightening the last strap. “You’re going to be really good and sit still so that you don’t fall off.” Aeron said as she picked Adwen up. Stepping on to a step she grabbed part of the saddle. “Okay mommy.” She said as she nuzzled herself close to her mother.
Aeron smiled as she settled herself a top her stallion. She pulled her cloak around Adwen and smiled. “there nice and safe now we ride.” She spoke as she tapped Elzar coaxing him to move forward. Adwen smiled looking up at her mother she was so happy to be with her. Adwen smiled as she nuzzled her mother who held her safe. “Mama Story” She said white eyes looking up at her mother.
Aeron smiled as she looked down at her. There may not be any real color to her eyes but aeron could see the glitter of puppy curiosity in the girl. Aeron smiled golden eyes glanced down at the girl with amusement. “Now What kind of story do you want to hear?” Aeron questioned as she looked at her with a motherly smile.
Adwen smiled looking at her mother, “Umm you? Oh no wait princess tory” She proclaimed forgetting to pronounce her s. Aeron chuckled nodded. “Hmm ok give mommy a minute to think.” Aeron said as she looked up at the sky today really was a good day to take the girl out. She made a funny face as she thought about princess stories. This was another thing that made her a bad mother she was terrible at this. The boys like to play rough Adwen and Estrella they need more delicate activities.
“Alright let’s see, I think they always begin like this.
Once upon a time, there was a beautiful princess by the name of Adwen. Her mother was queen of Endevine, and was the prettiest queen anyone had ever seen. The woman had long white hair and colorless eyes but the most striking feature was her pink nose. The woman they called Zuki after the moon for her people believed she was the moon on earth. Just like her mother the girl was too blessed white by the moon.
Though the queen loved her daughter she knew she had to protect the girl from those who would trick the child for she was gullible. So the queen sent her daughter off to live hidden until her eighteenth birthday. The girl would be safe with three woman who were the queens most trusted friends. There they would raise her as their own until she was ready to take her place on the throne.
The girl grew up safe and sound she learned her manners and to read and write. But slowly she began to grown from a child to a woman. As she aged her hair grew longer and she started to take a very woman like shape. She was out picking berries one day when she ran into a very pretty woman.”
Aeron was interrupted by Adwen who gave a gruff mom. “What Adwen” Aeron said looking down at the child. “Not a oooman. Prince aandsame prince” Aeron looked at her and laughed a bit nodding she glanced at where they were on the trail then back to Adwen.
“Ok ok, one day when she was out picking berries she ran into a very handsome prince. The man was one that she seemed to have been dreaming about all her life.” Aeron said sarcasm laced her voice though her daughter had not learned sarcasm or other tones really. As they continued on aeron continued to tell her story. Adwen listened and watched her mother in awe. The girl idolized the woman and her other mother Io, she even loved her father because he sang to her.
As they came to the festival grounds aeron was wrapping up her story. “And they all lived happily ever after.” Aeron said smiling. Adwen smiled. “Mama great” She said cuddling close. Aeron smiled she was a terrible story teller but the child seemed to like it and in the end that was all the really mattered she figured.
Moving along aeron smiled “Look Adwen we’re here. Maybe we’ll see some friends from Anathema” She said as she smiled. Elzar moved across the grounds as Aeron scanned the faces looking for those who she could sense would be trust worthy.
