Family Life

Sanria had a moment  to herself.  Gilean was still at the temple, as he had been for many late nights.  He would come back to the cottage worn out, the people  of Westbridge still needing  healing and help long after the battle with Kefka had passed.  She had  put Nioma to bed, tucked  Matinus in after reading  to him (a pasttime the boy seemed unable to  get enough  of),  and  settled herself in the library with her pack.

She found her unfinished note to the Keepers and cursed herself. In all her time with Gilean and settling in to a new life she had completely forgotten Ror's  request.  It was simple  enough to finish  the missive to her fellow leaders and send it off. After the last time in the cafe with Ror, she felt it best she  remain as much  out of his life as  possible.  Being  strictly  business with a past flame was never one of Sanria's strong suits.

Finished  with the missive, Sanria  opened her  window and called to Ferin. Though it was dark, the falcon appeared on wings nearly as silent as an owl. "Take this to Vorcet and Kineada my friend." She sent a mental image to the bird and watched as he vanished into the trees.

As Sanria stared out into the star-studded night sky, a movement caught her  gaze.  She looked down into the trees and caught the small motion of a tiny red light move in a small arc.  In the  darkness it brightened, then dimmed as it went back  down again.  The motion repeated once again before it vanished.  It  was unsettling, not knowing what  it was before her, and Sanria  closed the window and drew the drapes.  Something wasn't right.
