Oh crap. And suddenly things went to hell. Galesen blinked as Lyssie, not Zahara, was pulled away, and in that moment Galesen wanted a cold bath. Suddenly his head was in his hands and he took in a deep breath as he listened to Sevilin. "Yes, I was going to sleep with someone I thought with Zahara. I wasn't thinking clearly and you do not have to remind me of that." He paused and looked at the man. "But even now, after this I will never even try for your wife the day you die it's just..." A small sigh and he closed his eyes. "Just let me tell you what happened..." And so Galesen explained what happened in the kitchen, what Lyssie said to him and all and what he had thought during that time. When he was done Galesen was standing and looked at Sevilin. "With what's going on with me, I know I should not use it as an excuse but...I've been bothered with the fact with one slip up I can kill everyone in and instant and I cannot even get close to anyone I know, and all I could was stand around and do almost nothing! Thinking of that ever since this had happened just put me in a position and I..." He stopped and shook his head. "I know you hate me, and even now you'll always hate me for this. You have every right, Sevilin. I know it means nothing now, or probably even ever but..." A pause as he kept his eyes with Sevilin's. "I am sorry, I truly am." If the man wanted to take a swing, he could do so right now, hell anything would be better than nothing.

She was stuck between a rock and a hard place and she needed to know for sure if this was her mother or not. Glancing up at the now bloody woman, she clenched her fists. 'Are you my mother, honestly or not?"
She laughed again, "Do you really think I would let any man mount me that way? And then to carry some brat for a year and be a slave to the damn thing? not to mention giving up my body for something else." Shaking her head. "No. Your mother died and foisted you off on me. And I was stuck with you until you were old enough to pay me back."
Her eyes grew cold and hard and she glanced up at the woman that she'd sacrificed so much for. Meeting Malikhai's gaze, she shook her head. "I don't have one. Perhaps it would be better if she was gone."

"You see Galesen...it's about who you wanted. Not what you wanted to do. Sleep with my daughter, annoying yes...but what am I to do to stop her if it's what she wanted to do? As herself. Not as her mother. That's what it's about. You and Zahara had something...but you don't anymore. Living in the past means you never have a future." Grabbing Galesen and stumble throwing him like he had Lyssie. "You as well back to Twilight before I feel the need to do things better not done."
He had been waiting for what felt like forever for Kealin to come to this point. Where she wasn't going to let herself be used by this woman or bound to her in any way, shape, or form. This is all he had wanted her to do...face the woman and know that she didn't need her. "Good...because death is a release and rarely a punishment. I have something better. Come on." Punching the woman across the face to knock her for a loop but not out, and grabbing her back the back of her tunic, dragging her out of the place for anyone to gawk at.
Coming back to his horse he helped Kaelin up, threw her supposed mother on the backend of his horse and mounted up himself, heading back toward home. Oh yes he had plans indeed. But for the moment, just a brief moment he let his anger go and pressed a kiss to Kaelin's temple. "I love you...and now you're free." Whatever she wanted free to mean. He was proud of her either way she went.

Galesen quietly listened to Sevilin before he gave a nod in understanding. And he did understand what the man said, he really, really did. He didn't even stop Sevilin when he grabbed him and stumbled throw him out of the room, though he quickly grabbed a few things and blew out the candle's before he ran back out. "Alright then, I'll be there." And he would be, he was going to have to talk to Zahara, he knew it, but he would do so because it was the right thing to do. So with that in mind he put his belt back on and waited until Sevilin left his house. Quietly he locked it, got on Barhnel and took off back to Twilight. When he arrive he got of Barhnel and went to the library were he sat on the couch to brood, he needed some time to think to himself.

She was in a daze of sorts, reconciling her childhood with the truth. She'd told herself time and time again that her mother didn't know how to love her and she thought she was doing the right thing. Told herself that she deserved her mother's rage when she owed her so much. She'd held it over Kaelin's head that she had brought her into the world and could easily take her right back out. But now her 'father's' reactions made so much more sense. They were brother and sister, not husband and wife. Was she even any relation to them at all? Did she have a family anymore?
She walked woodenly beside Malikhai, mounting up with his help and rested back against him. His words drew her out of the haze she'd been drifting in and something fluttered to life inside of her. "Love is not meant to cause so much pain, is it?"

"Not all the time...but if it does it makes sure to right things in it's own way." That was all he could give her in answer because that was all he knew about such a subject. Home now, he helped her down, dragged the other down and send Jerik off ot the stables. "Go on upstairs...you're supposed to be resting." And he was going to visit dark places that he didn't want her in.

It occurred to her then that she'd been so busy attempting to get to him that she hadn't even bothered to change her clothes. The nightdress now had blood on it as well as blue paint and Kaelin felt awful all over again. Or perhaps it was absorbing such a shock. Her mother was not her mother at all. Everything had bee a lie. She stumbled her way into the bedroom she was sharing with Malikhai, donned one of his shirts instead and settled into the bed where she began to cry silently.

With Kaelin gone, his mood returned to darker places and he dragged his new friend inside and downstairs to the basement where old things of horror and bad memories were kept. He didn't care who saw or what anyone thought. "You want to see me be like father and I'll let you know just how much I can be him and not give a damn for my actions or regret them either." He threw her into a breaker room, gave his instructions to those present, and let walked out. He didn't go anywhere, merely plopped on a nearby stool to listen.
--
Well that wasn't good now was it. She had been playing with the boys in the nursery but it was hard to ignore girls who seemed to go by in a daze. Patting the boys on the head she got herself up and meanderd down to Malikhai's room...not that the door was closed or anything and well, now said girl was crying. Stepping into the room she sat down on the edge of the bed...hm, this must be Khai's room by the look of it. "What's the matter dear?"

Of course...Malikhai dragging a woman behind him like that was not the kind of thing you saw everyday and someone ran to fetch Malik and Piper both immediately.
Cymarron titled his head lightly.
"We don't understand. Elias used..rubber things to prevent kits...the others had other methods to stop kits from happening. Why would you not use those to not have to have a kit to prove you were intended mates?"
Malik rolled his eyes lightly at the knocking on the door that had that 'hurry urgent' tone.
"I bet that's Zahara back to chastize me if I'm anyhing less then fully dressed."
Before walking to the door and opening it..finding not Zahara in healer mode but a serf in freaked mode, babbling about Malikhai and a strange woman he was dragging downstairs.
"Wait a moment...take a breath. relax. are you sure it was Malikhai and not one of the Tier'dal servants? you got a good enough look?"
Glancing at his wife.
"apparently our son is doing things he shouldn't. he took some strange woman downstairs."

"Aw, but I like it when you're not fully dressed. It's more fun for me." Watching as he tended to what was going on but getting that worried look on that note of news. That wasn't like him at all. And it was not a good thing at all either. "Maybe you should go down and talk to him out of whatever he may be doing or want to do that he shouldn't." She had a good idea what that combination of elements meant. "It's just not like him."

Aella sat down with her back against one wall. "Can't wait."
She flipped her long hair over her should and brushed a few tangles out with her fingers. It had grown much longer in her travels, but it was rough and uncared for. She didn't mind, he no longer had any convictions about looking good.
"Onyx, you're from a sunny realm, aren't you?" Tilting her head to the ceiling, as if she could see it. "Don't you ever miss it?"

She watched her husband go with a barely concealed frown, aware that he was going to their youngest daughter's aid. She was always getting herself into scrapes and situations. Hopefully, Zykariel would be distracted and wouldn't be able to show up as well. Or Faate... Her attention slid back to Cymarron and she nodded, studying the toe of her boot to hide her embarrassment. "I use potions for the same purpose. That's why I only have five children even though I've been with Sevilin for well over 20 years now. But when I was younger, I wasn't always so wise. I'd never intended to be with Sevilin in that way but he was very attractive to me and we ended up in a situation. By the time we realized what was happening, it was too late. Zykariel was born a year later." She was not going to tell Cymarron that it was all Malik's fault.
Kaelin glanced up in surprise as she was joined by another elf from the surface, as pale as Piper. Actually, she bore some similarities to Piper and Kaelin shrank away slightly at the sight of this new stranger. She didn't appear threatening but Kaelin was cautious. "I...think my mother's going to die. No, not my mother...I don't even know who she is..."

Cymarron tilted his head...and then reached out and tapped a claw to her cheek.
"You have been crying. Why?"
Onyx shrugged.
"Not really. I miss people there, I miss the warmth perhaps. but not too much else. Unlike my father, and at least two of my sisters, I didn't get to blend in well. my father almost melts away if he didn't want to be seen. Moonstone rarely went out to places. I enjoyed traveling, seeing the sights...but I couldn't hide away except in shadow. I didn't like being in the shadow."
turning the spit a bit.
"down here, I blend in. here I can vanish if I want to. Moonstone has a place on the surface, and I do tend to visit from time to time. I guess I'm just more at home in the dark. matches my fur and everything."
A small grin at her.
"And you? ever thought about going topside?"
Malik grinned lightly.
"I know you do. and I'll go see what's going on. I mean he hasn't been downstairs in some time...something must have really set him off for that."
and heading out and to the downstairs, finding his son sitting in from of a breaker room.
"Two questions. Why are you here, and why is your arm bleeding profusely?"

"If you don't know who she is, then why so upset? Happens to people all the time." Granted Isle wasn't that stupid and figured it was more than that, but she wasn't going to push on the girl either. Just continue to be nosey.
-----
His first answer was merely a point to the room across from him and the second was a look to his arm before plopping his opposite hand over it to try and slow bleeding. "That's what happens when you get stabbed. You bleed." Not very forthcoming with anything at the moment. Just sitting and staring and bleeding.

Malik put his hands behind his back, and that lord of the manor tone in his voice. he wasn't about to take this kind of evasiveness on this situation.
"You went out, under order not to do so from Zahara anymore than I am to go play lord and master...you bring back an unfamiliar woman, drag her down here and throw her in a breaker room apparently. your injured from a stab wound that you never should have gotten. So I am asking you what you were doing, and why is there a woman in that room. And you are going to answer me."
