- ================================
-
- Laughter echoed over the meadow in front of the Castle gates!
- Snow fell heavily from the gray sky, covering everything with a thick
- blanket of frosty white. Balls of snow whizzed through the air playfully as
- the Castle inhabitants indulged themselves in a free for all snowball fight!
-
- "You...you should not be out here in the cold, my dear lady. No,
- you should be ensconsed in a warm featherbed inside the shielding Castle."
- Feral Knight worriedly said to his laughing wife, Brianna.
-
- "WHAT?!! Go in?! Are you crazy? I am fine, don't worry so much.",
- Brianna chirped as she scooped up a double handful of wet snow and made a
- perfect globe.
-
- "But.. but you must be careful, my dear", Feral Knight attempted
- again. He stood there awkwardly, still in emotional shock from the news
- she had just imparted to him. A baby!!!! He could hardly believe it! A
- worried frown creased his head as he regarded his young wife. What a precious
- woman she was, and he had to take the utmost care of her. The frown was
- abruptly hidden under a layer of snow as her snowball spread itself over his
- visage!
-
- Spluttering, he wiped his face off and his hand instinctively reached
- for the snow he stood in...then he paused and looked at her again. Brianna
- sighed and moved up close to him.
-
- "Listen silly, I am only a month or so along. I am fine! I am not
- some fainting girl, you know. THIS is the best thing for me right now. So
- unbend a bit and have fun. DON'T worry." she whispered.
-
- He stood there hesitantly for a few moments until the truth of her
- words sunk in. A wide smile burst over his face and his eyes narrowed as he
- dodged an accurate throw by Kathrea.
-
- "Alright then" he murmured, "Let's DO it!"
-
- It was like he was a boy once again, living in the wilderness and
- playing in the snow. Kathrea dodged one ball thrown by Brianna only to move
- right into the path of one thrown by the Feral Knight!
-
- "Ha!" he exulted. "No magic allowed, dear sorceress, only skill" he
- reminded. He bent down to form another snowball and stood up to catch one
- right in the chest.
-
- "That good enough?" Kathrea grinned.
-
- "WE'RE PREGNANT!!" he bellowed in joy as he started bounding through
- the drifts of snow that were rapidly building up on the ground. He grabbed
- Brianna and tossed her into the air and caught her in his arms. He kissed her
- lips hard and set her down once more. She giggled as three snowballs struck him
- in the back and started to roll a large snowball.
-
- Feral Knight stepped over to the Garden Gate, recently opened again
- after the Final Battle and called in. "Princess, come out and join us!"
-
- Princess Siboean moved from the shadows slowly and stood before him.
- She looked weary but her face animated as she watched the unbounded gaiety
- around her.
-
- "I..I didn't know if anyone remembered." she said slowly.
-
- "Princess, you will never be forgotten. The Final Battle wrought
- much damage upon the Land but it is healing. You are so welcome back with
- us. There is another here with a name similiar to yours. Her name is Siobhan
- and she is a shape changer. The two of you should speak after we finish out
- here. Now, come on out!" he said as he tugged her out.
-
- The long absent Princess Siboean laughed and joined in the fun! T'zu
- bounded about in the snow and then Feral Knight saw Dark Knight forming
- immense balls of snow and heaving them about! Eowyn's bright laugh pealed
- over the meadows as she and Brianna worked together to overwhealm Moniford
- and Mikandric. Kathrea fell back into a drift and made a snow angel while
- Lady Elaine delicately carved the mounds of snow that Brianna had rolled up. A
- beautiful snow sculpture became alive under her artistic hands.
-
- Congratulations were voiced over and over as the inhabitants encountered
- the Feral Knight and Brianna. Ahhh, Morgana had birthed her twin sons only a
- few months ago and there was already the promise of another blessed birth!
