Tinania smiles before she moves back to Lucas's side. Resting slightly against him, she gives a small nod "Yea, you see sir. I'm still only twenty one moons. Far to young to have children. Not when i have still so much to learn and see." with a nod, she watches her son. Her eyes fill with pride.
Seiji giggles as he lets the finger go. Yawning he rubs at his eyes alittle, it wasn't that he was sleepy. Just that he woke up moment before, so he was trying to adjust. Placing a small claw in his mouth, he looks around. how eyes widen as he takes in the room.

Lucas chuckled and wrapped an arm around her waist. "So yeah... We don't need to go a bit too fast into that..." He bowed his head a bit, and looked around for his gear, then realized it was all still on his mount he nodded.
His father smiled and holding the child close in his arms, he turned to face the two. "Well, that is good to hear," He said, and bowed his head. "We should best get going before it gets any later... There is much we need to talk about."

Tinania nods before she steps away from Lucas. Holding her hands out towards Seiji, she smiles to the little boy "Come on Seiji, were going to go he grandpa's home." she makes a couple silly faces to the little dragon.
Seiji let out a small squeal of laughter before he reaches towards his mother. She was always the best to hug into as she was so soft. Tail and wings moving, he stick one small claw into his mouth. As much as he like this new person, he was content in his mother's arms.

With a smile Lucas' father bowed his head and turned, heading out the door. Lucas turned to Tinania and smiled weakly. "Well, let's get going," He said, moving after his father, knowing that a good amount of their gear was all stowed on the bear, and what wasn't he was sure was already being moved over to the Manor.
The Manor... Good lord, It had been so long since he'd even seen that place.

Tinania followed after Lucas, her eyes mostly focus on the little blue dragon in her arms. Another Manor, she couldn't help but wonder if it was liek the one she was trying to escape. Shaking her head, she kisses Seiji's nose before she looks back up.
Seiji was just looking around while in his mother's arms. Making a few cooing noises he lifted one claw finger, pointing towards a few things. Everything was so bright, and he wanted to see it all.

Lucas smiled back at Tinania as he walked to his bear. Mounting, he leaned over and offered his arm to her. Already he could see his father mounting his horse, which was a deep, deep black, with red frilling around the hooves. Lucas nodded his head at the horse. Which didn't seem to fear the bear at all.
His father turned his head, waiting for them to mount up so they could make quick time.

Taking Lucas's hand, Tinania quickly climbs up onto the mount in front of Lucas. Resting back against him, she makes sure she has a firm hold on her bag as well as Seiji. Looking up at Lucas she nods to him before closing her eyes. Her mind was racing, so she was doing her best to hide it.
Seiji giggles as he claps his small paws together. lifting them in the air, he was pretending to tell them where to go as he spoke in baby talk.

Lucas smiled and kissed her cheek as he kicked his mount into motion. It lumbered along after the horse, and he watched as they walked through the city. So many memories started to come back to him, and he couldn't help but smile a bit at some of them.
His father lead them towards a large walled building in the center of city, since that was where the manor house was quartered.

Tinania smiles alittle, her eyes remaining close. Would she be able to handle living in a Manor again, being waited on hand and foot? A small tremble ran through her body at the thought of it. She grown so use to doing everything for herself after moving into her home. She wasn't sure she could go back to that lifestyle.
Seiji falls quiet as he looks around. So many new things to look at, he wanted to taste it all. His golden eyes seem to widen as they grow closer to the quarter containing the manor. It was such a big place to him, unlike the last place. He wanted to see if he could pull it apart just so he could look at it.

Lucas eyed the Manor complex with a bit of foreboding... He knew that when he got there the memories would all come back. He really didn't want to live through that again, but he knew that he would have to, and he steeled himself for the torrent that would rip through him. The hardest part would be the final realization that his brother's wouldn't be there to meet him, either to heckle and torment him or to help pick up the pieces when they did...
He'd not hated all of his brothers... The youngest ones had liked him well enough, even had looked up to him when he'd stood up for them against the elder ones. He'd gotten more than his fair share of roughing ups for that, but it had been worth it...
At least someone had loved him here.
Shaking his head a bit he looked around as they crossed through the gates into the complex. Nothing had changed... Save there were more stones in the cemetery now, but that was to be expected... He'd had a lot of brothers.
"Father," He suddenly broke the silence. "With your permission?" He motioned towards the graves. He needed to pay his respects.
His father turned and looked towards the cemetery, for a fleeting instant his strong face weakened with grief. "Yes... You may," With that he turned his horse. "I'll be at the stables, I'm sure you know the way," And with that, he was gone.
Lucas nodded silently and turned his bear towards the graves. "If you want to head on to the Manor Tinania... I will understand," He didn't know if she wanted to be with him right now visiting the graves. "But I would like your's and Seiji's company..."

Tinania glances towards the cemetery, she had never really been in one of them. Looking at Lucas she nods before she attempts a small smile "I'll join you." she was starting to think that coming here was a mistake, she could see it on Lucas's face. This place was bringing back to many painful memories for him.
Seiji makes a few cooing noises before pointing towards the cemetery. Tilting his head to the left, he makes another cooing noise. Were those blocks he could play with?

Lucas stopped the bear a good distance from the cemetery gates and dismounted carefully. Then he turned and helped Tinania down with Seiji. He held her close to him as he started to walk, and it did not take long for him to find the graves of his brothers. The soil was still rich brown, the graves had been freshly dug the day before. Kneeling at the last, the smallest of them, he ran his hand down the stone.
"You most of all... Did not need to suffer this..." He said quietly as he rested his head against the stone, careful to mind his horns less he mar it's perfect surface. After a few moments of silent prayer, he lifted his head and kissed the tomb stone. Before slowly getting up and moving to the next.
He remained silent until he got to the last grave. And there he knelt for a while, his fingers tracing the name of the stone.
"I honestly wish I could say that you deserved what you got..." his fingers stopped their motion on the stone. "But I can't. I can't because you didn't... And I am sorry. I don't know why you hated me... Well... I know why you hated me to everyone else... Because I apparently soiled father's honor by being in existence... But that was no fault of mine and you knew it..." Resting his head against the stone he chuckled darkly. "Was it her? Was that why you hated me? At any rate... You could have had her you know... I don't know why you turned her away." Shaking his head, mindful to pull it back so as to not damage it he looked at the stone. "I wish I could say I still bear you ill will... But I don't... I forgive you." With that he stood, and turned to face Tinania.
"Tinania... Seiji... My family," He motioned to the graves. "I wish you could have met them in life..."

Tinania looks at Lucas, with a small nods she leans up brushing her lips against his. Handing Seiji to Lucas, she unfolds her fairy wings which are giving off a deep green glow. Stepping away from them both, she moves towards the graves. Her eyes fall close as the rest of her body starts to glow, her body slowly lifting from the ground.
Floating midair, she cups her hands over her chest just above the crystal around her neck. "So be it then..." her voice was very siren like as she opens her hands out. The fairy dust gathers into five small globes "Arise and awake, brothers of Lucas." the five globes shot out, heading deep into the rich soil.
Each globe implants itself into one brother, and from each grave stone shot out a beam of light. The ground cracks alittle as the beings under the soil stir.
Floating back down to the ground, Tinania's body slumps before she hits the ground on her knees. Her wings pale as the glow dims from them. Panting, she looks up "Get someone to dig them out, or all that magic will be for nothing."
Seiji went very still the moment he saw the five beams shot into the sky. Looking back down at his mother as she hits the stone, he screams reaching out towards her.

Lucas stared for but a moment. He realized what had happened, the power she had just channeled and imparted... He also realized he'd almost killed her. Suddenly he put Seiji down next to her, and with a loud shout, he called for whoever was near to help.
As luck would have it, the gardening staff had been nearby, and it did not take long for Lucas to lead them into the digging of the graves. A few balked, but Lucas, much like his father, was not a man to be denied when the time was right.
The coffins were quickly unearthed and torn open, and his brothers suddenly sat up and gasped for air, all of them shaking. The youngest openly bawled.
Lucas was torn, between running to them and checking his love.
He realized then, that he had to make a choice.
He moved to Tinania, and cradled her head into his lap, and kissed the top of her head. He pulled Seiji close, and sat there, keeping with them.
These were his family now. Though his brothers now yet lived.
He looked up and his eyes caught the nearest servant. "Go, get my father and tell him of this miracle..." He was shaking now, because he realized he was free.
The servant was gone before Lucas turned to the next. "Go fetch the Doctor, do not delay an instant."
Tinania would need looking after and time to recoup after this. But Lucas realized what had happened, and he knew that one word would have to be removed from his vocabulary.
He could wish for nothing more.

Everything about Tinania at that moment seem less, her body took almost a gray look to it. Her eyes were closed as she slept, her breathing labored once in awhile, but it stabled out too. Her hand resting on the crystal which was still glowing, but that to was very faint.
Seiji looks down at his mother, and not liking the looks of her started to cry, His small blue paw touching her rather cold cheek. Looking up at Lucas, he continues to cry before pulling away from him. He didn't know how he did it, but he managed to get onto his mother's chest and lay there.
