Writer's Notebook

[Hans Bloodsmith]

He can swear that Cynthia bright green eyes literally sparkling when she saw the doll.
"Tiffa!" She half shout with a huge teary smile as she hug the porcelain head doll tightly. She then look at Eris as if she was her new Heroes.
"T-thank You! I-i-i thought, i-i lost her forever...." she meakly thanks the Dhampire as she realized how she just shout a few moments ago.....somehow Zehn can see the similarities between the Dhampire and the Elf.

"I got her cleaned up, so you won't have to worry about the mud she fell in," Eris smiled. "I hope I didn't ruin her, I was careful."

Levi simply smiled rocking Ellie in her arms. It was almost time for a bottle.

"Is there anything I can help you all with?" Cain asked smiling. "I am Cain, and I would be more than happy to help you get settled."

 

[Hans Bloodsmith]

Cynthia shaking her head quickly, making a bit of a mess for her short blonde hair as she assured the older women.
"N-NO! She's look perfect, and i'm really happy that i can meet her again. I-i though she's been lost forever when i-i run from t-those M-m-monster's....." Tears started to leak from her eyes as she remembered what just happens a few hours ago.

"Theorama." He accept the fellow blond handshake with his own. "As for help, i don't think we have many difficulty since King Liam have give us a decent amount of supplies to start off again, we just need to build and prepare for the first farming season's, and maybe occasional stray animals that wander too close to the new settlement." He explain with the usual smile still on his young face.

 

[CordeliaCross]

"Oh sweetie, don't cry," Eris said hugging Cynthia tightly. "I am glad you are happy. Don't be upset."

Casryth smiled and kept an eye on everything unfolding. These new people would fit in nicely here.

"Excuse me, Mr. Theorama," Eris said softly so Cynthia couldn't hear. "We would like to know where Cynthia will be living, is another family going to take her in?"

 

[Hans Bloodsmith]

Theorama's smile drop down for a moment. "...We haven't decided about that yet.. she's don't have any other relatives that survive the attack.... And everyone is still reeling from the attack, so I don't think they're stable enough to accept her yet." Theorama spoke sadly. "We will eventually find her a family to live with, for now, she will live with me in the guest room until the situation clear enough." He finished with a sad sigh to the girl, whos seems to clung closer to Eris.
Zehn put a thoughtful expression for a moment before sending Eris a look, a smile on his face. "....Do you thinking what i'm thinking?"

 

[CordeliaCross]

"If it wouldn't be an insult to your or your people, we would love for her to come and stay with us. We have a home just by the town hall, and we are around the corner from the school. We have a few extra rooms in my house, we would love to make one of them for her," Eris beamed smiling at Zehn. "But only if she is comfortable coming to live with us. If it would be too hard for her, we wouldn't want to separate her from her people. We could bring her here to visit with all of you often that way she never forgets her customs or her upbringing."

 

[Hans Bloodsmith]

Theorama blink his eyes like an owl at the pair. "You two want to....adopt her?" He ask with a somewhat curious tone.
"Yup, pretty much like that." Was the Demon answer as he give s gentle smile to Eris and Cynthia, as the Elf girl hug the Dhampire much tighter.
"That's actually not a bad idea, infact it was a wonderful suggestion." He exclaim with a full smile before he look at Cynthia.
"Though, it was not my decision to make."

 

[CordeliaCross]

Eris crouched down next to Cynthia. "Would you like to come live with us, little one, and become part of our family? You can come and visit your people here whenever you want. Living with us does not mean you have to forsake them."

 

[Hans Bloodsmith]

The little Elf lift her face to look at Eris gentle smile and then at Zehn, who's currently grinning happily. Tears of joy started to come from her round eyes as she then hug Eris tightly, the Dhampire feel her little head nodding vigorously between each sob, as her muffled voice give them the answer
"Yes....yes....ehhmm hic..i want to...."

 

[CordeliaCross]

Eris pulled Zehn into the hug smiling brightly. thankful that Zehn was on the same page she was about having Cynthia come live with them. "Would you like to come to see your new home?" Eris asked the girl.

Levi stepped forward. "Are there any other children in need of homes? My experience is mostly with infants, but I am willing to learn. I was about to buy my own home in town anyway," she said with a hopeful smile.

 

[Hans Bloodsmith]

Sadly, Theorama have to dash her hope. With a shake of his head he spoke.
"Fortunately, with the exception of Cynthia, the seven other childrens, don't lost all of their adults family members, the one that lost their parents now live with their relatives in the town.....err, sorry?" He finished with a somewhat nervous tone at Levi downcast expression as the grass around them started to freeze into crisps.
A pudgy hand landed on her cheek, as Levi stared down to meet Eliana' happy expression.
A smile made her ways into her face as she look at Eliana and now Cynthia, well, at least now she has two niece's to be spoiled.

 

[CordeliaCross]

Casryth smiled and leaned over to Levi and whispered, "After we get you settled into your new home we can visit nearby lands like the one we just saved from the wendigos. There are plenty around here that have faced many hardships. There may be a child looking for a new family in one of those towns. I can help you search. I know you would be a wonderful mother."

 

[Hans Bloodsmith]

The female demon look at her with a smile, as she embrace Eliana closer to her.
"Thank you Casryth...i..just envious of them...heck, even now my brother, my sometimes irresponsible and gluttonous little brother now have a child with someone he love...i think, I just miss.... having my husband here....its been a very long time." She muttered the last part more to herself as she feels her chest tightened.
".... You're not alone, big sis." Zehn unusual calm voice bring her back to reality as the Demon stood in front of her with Eris and Cynthia.
"You have me, Casryth, Liam, Eris, Eliana, Dobby, Spot, Minx, Asteria, Lizbeth, Marcus, Cain and now...." His face morph into a smile as he gently put his hands on the blushing red Cynthia's shoulders.
"You have your cute little niece Cynthia! And we both know that we we are all gonna be there for you."

 

[CordeliaCross]

"And don't forget, you have Elektra, and you'll have this little one soon too. We may not be related by blood, but you are definitely my family, Levi. Besides, who knows with this crazy world, you two might be reunited," Casryth smiled hugging Levi, careful not to squish Ellie. "Now let's get back to the house. I don't want Dobby to get worried if he wakes up without us. Eris, Zehn, why don't you take Cynthia to see her new home, and then come meet us for dinner at the town hall. I would like to hold a welcome banquet for our new friends and family members tonight," Casryth added.

"That is a splendid idea, love," Liam smiled. "Tonight we will honor our new family members and give them a chance to meet everyone!"

Eris smiled from ear to ear. Tonight was going to be another great night.

"When it gets to be closer to the time of the banquet I can come and escort you all there, I can even give you a little tour of the town," Cain offered.

"I'd love to help you," Levi smiled.

"Good, then it's a plan!" Casryth laughed.

 

[Hans Bloodsmith]

Cynthia doe like eyes wonder with a mix of wonder and curiosity as he watch their family....her new family interactions.
"Welcome to the family, dear." The demon whisper to her.... daughter as he pat her head gently.
Human, Demigoddess, Demon, Vampire, Goblin and now Elf as one family, heh, looks like he found his new favorite fairytale.

 

[CordeliaCross]

Eris took one of Cynthia's hands and Zehn took the other. They walked along the path to Eris's house, pointing out cool things in the town along the way.

Casryth and Levi just smiled at one another. "Once I get settled into my new home, I would love to take you up on your offer Casryth, there is nothing I want more than a child of my own."

Levi, Cain, Liam, and Casryth all began their walk back up to the manor, Ellie smiling and cooing the whole time.

 

[Hans Bloodsmith]

As the new family of three arrive to the Dhampire house, Eris gently open the locked door, revealing the inside of the red painted house.
Cynthia innocent eyes sparkling with wonder as she try to take every detail of her new home.

 

[CordeliaCross]

"Red is my favorite color, but we can paint your room whatever color you like," Eris smiled.

 

[Hans Bloodsmith]

The little Elf answer a bit hastily as her hand fidgeting nervously.
"N-no, you don't need to, umm, you have a really pretty house and ehhh, uhh its very nice!" She shout the last part before her face turn into a ripe tomato as she tried to hide it behind her doll. Father in heaven, his daughter is adorable!

 

[CordeliaCross]

"If you change your mind sweetie, we can paint it any color you like. It will be your room, so it is your choice," Eris smiled. "Would you like to see it?"
