The Tower Room

Suddenly I am startled from my doze by a sound I have longed to hear! Dragons! Bugling their joy! Oh, how I have missed this place... I am now entering my valley... empty and abandoned. I feel sad, but not for long for atlast I am home! I can only pray that there might be just one person to welcome me, and not remind me of my shame...

Luminous! Where are you? Realizing he is gone I send Tempest to find him...

Gathering my cloak closer,I decide it is truly an omen. I begin to head to the valley below. Suddenly a wonderful aroma wafts to my nose. Fresh meat on an open fire. My mouth salivates. I walk up to a shedlike building where a large man with huge arms is turning a spit,upon which is a whole haunch of venison. As I approach,he looks up at me and smiles. "Welcome Stranger",his voice rumbles. "You look hungry,would you care to partake of my dinner with me?" I think,"is my state that obvious?"
I gladly accept this generous man's offer. As he slices off a large piece of roasted meat,he looks at me and says, "Of course, I'll expect to be compensated." I reply," Ahhh,good Sir, all I have is my lute and a small talent, I have no gold or jewels and to me this feast is worthy of both."
He laughs a deep,hearty laugh, and says," All the compensation I require is that you play for the Gathering." I like this huge man,he is like many,large strong men,kind to those in need. I fill my growling stomach,smiling in agreement and pleasure.

[Albigeois]

Slowly I approach my ancient homestead. Luminous and Tempest are ahead of me. They delight in the warmth and the deep grass of the meadows. The others are trickling down the hillside, and for just a moment it looks as it used to here.

I glance up the slope towards the cave where I grew up. As I thought; it was empty. I head towards the Glass Lake to bathe and halt...

"It can't be!" I step behind a tree to look closer and be sure. "Yes! It's Ammalia!" I whistle an old familiar tune and see her head rise in caution. "My Goddess, I had forgotten how beautiful she was in human form."

I start to undress and am startled by a rush of wings. In the dim light I see Anethyb rise and soar off to the other end of the Lake! I could have sworn She was smiling!

~ Suddenly time stood still for me. I looked up at Albi standing before me and my mind reeled ~
http://publish.hometown.aol.com/notforhire/images/ammalia.jpg

~ sending me back to this same place many years ago.

~ Albi was just 21 human years ~ older in years that pass here ~ He had made a stupid mistake and allowed his family's Unicorns to escape from their hold and return to the Other World. ~ Generations of his family had guarded these Unicorns as humans sought to kill them as prizes ~ or just for their horns alone. ~

When it was found what he had done The Great Council had banished him until what had been lost could be found. His family ~ heads hanging in shame ~ had left the Bay Primeval ~ and never returned. ~

~ Now he was back ~ bringing a herd of more than two dozen Unicorns with him ~ only half of the original herd, but all of what was left in the world. ~

~ Now Ammalia knew what her Directions were ~ In human form I was to reach out to Albigeois and bring him through his grief. ~

~ Standing and facing him I caught her breath! ~ He was emaciated ~ only a shell of his former self ~ She could see in his eyes he had driven himself to impossible lengths to restore the family name and undo what he had done ~

~ Reaching for each other in unison, I felt his knees give and slowly guided him to the ground. ~ Sobs wracked him as the reality of his centuries old journey finally reaching its end sunk in. ~ Ammalia held him and crooned to him til he slept ~

Standing atop Camber's Tor,named after my grandmother,I look over The Bay Primeval. Something is happening,the dragons have been restless ever since Anethyb flew in this morning with some news. I suppose I will find out what the news is later...I have some things to take care of in the caves. There are some eggs hatching and I want to make sure things are going well.
There are also a few dragons ready to be matched with partners. A beautiful aqua female named Soulia is anxious to meet her friend..I hope the woman I have in mind for her is the the perfect one. I see Soulia flying over head with a rider on her back...it is my assistant who helps get the dragons ready for a rider. Soulia looks to be adjusting perfectly.
