Lucas wasted no time when his father appeared. He tried his best to hide Tinania's involvement, and it wasn't hard, his father was in such a state of shock that he would have believed anything to make this real. Lucas ended up having to pull him down, because he dare not stand with Tinania in such a weakened state.
"You protect them and you guard them. You show them all the love you never showed me, or so help me, if I hear they are dead again the other lords will be the least of your problems..." He hissed these words to his father, who nodded numbly.
"I will..."
Lucas nodded, and when the doctor arrived, he helped him get Tinania on a stretcher and taken to the room in which she and her would share during their visit to the Manor. Lucas hoped she'd not given too much for his sake. He kissed the top of her head and looked skywards, praying.

Seiji continues to cry as he clings to his mother, it was when the doctor lifted him away from her he screams. Clinging to Lucas, he tries to reach for Tinania again. He small feet kicking at Lucas, it wasn't that he didn't want to be with Lucas. His mother wasn't moving, and she look different.
Tinania was soon moved to the bed, her body growing colder by the second. But this wasn't the type where throwing her into a warm tub would help. She had used her own life to bring back the five brother, and in doing so drained her own life. Her life spirit had been weaken too much, and was now trying its hardest to hang on.

Lucas held the dragon child close to his chest, trying to calm him but knowing it was almost futile. Seiji would calm when Tinania was better, he was sure, but he didn't know how that might happen... He could see she was sitting on the cusp of leaving this world. And he dared not think of that.
He didn't hear the door open, nor see the woman that entered. But it was obvious the two were related. Her horns were long and sharp, much larger than her son's. Her eyes almost glowed in the dim light of the the room.
It was obvious that she was not a full demon, in fact it was quite obvious that she was a fifth or sixth generation tiefling, the aura of uneasiness was not so bad as it might have been. Her form as voluptuous, her face not quite young but not quite old. Her eyes were the same color as Lucas' as was the color of her skin. Her hair was a fiery red however, and she moved with a grace that spoke of practice.
She made no sound as she approached her son, and laid a hand gently on his shoulder, and he was partly greatful for that, because he knew that if she had he would have snapped at her for causing all of this, but he knew that it would have just been wasted words. She probably didn't care.
Turning his head and keeping Seiji close to his chest, as if protecting the child from her he narrowed his eyes. "Hello... Mother."
"Hello Lucas, have you been well, it's been long since I've seen you last." His mother ignored the glare, as if he did it all the time.
"No, I've not been well, thank you very much for asking," He spat, practically hissing.
"Oh, well I'm sorry to hear that, anything I can do to help?" She asked, taking a step back to recompose herself, having almost been visibly shaken.
"Nothing you've done already has helped me mother..." He growled and turned his head back to Tinania. "You've almost cost me everything I care about in fact..." He chewed the inside of his cheek, and finally he sighed. "Father said you killed my brothers,"
"I did, I won't deny that. I'd do it again too, but your father has them all locked up and under protection by his guards... The ones I haven't bought." She began to look at her nails. "I did that for you, you know, so that you could rule when the time came."
"I didn't want that, never did, you knew that." Lucas said, turning his eyes. "Why did you do it?"
"For power... I'm just a consort. Well I was just a consort, I'm not even that anymore, I have no power but for the breeding of his horses, and even that he's learned enough by watching me... So I've become useless... So I thought that by putting you into the place of power, I'd be better off."
"So you did this for yourself," Lucas hissed, his eyes returning to Tinania.
"No, I did it for you, because you'd of had all the power you wanted to fix things the way you'd wanted," She seemed offended.
"You're a liar... Get out," Lucas hissed deeper, his anger getting the better of him before he remembered Seiji was in his arms, so he forced himself to relax. The demon temper he had didn't need to be brought forth. "You've almost cost me the only woman I care about, now get out."
"... I will take my leave," His mother said, tossing her hair and turning towards the door. "I hope the woman you care about recovers... I will ask around and see if I can find help for her."
"Yeah... You do that..." Lucas growled at her, turning his baleful gaze on her again, his eyes flashing in anger. "Just don't touch her, ever."
His mother nodded and left the room silently.
Lucas turned back to Seiji and kissed the top of his head. "Sorry you had to see that son..."

Seiji just stares in bewilderment, he wasn't sure what to think. From the anger he heard in Lucas voice, he knew that this woman wasn't a good person. So like most babies he started yelling himself, his arms waving before he blows raspberries as she left the room.
Looking up at Lucas, he pats his shirt lightly trying to show that everything was okay. Looking back towards his mother, his lip soon started to tremble again before he turns his head to hide his face.
Tinania breathing labors again, as her color turns even more gray. The pulse inside her seem to weaken with ear passing moment.

Lucas didn't know what to do. There was nothing he himself could do. He moved over to her and placed Seiji gently down on the bed beside her, and he softly kissed her. "If I knew some way to take on some of this I would..." He said softly, brushing her hair now that both of his hands were free. He looked to Seiji and smiled. "Everythings gonna be okay Son, I just know it..." He looked down at Tinania and kissed her again. "Everything is gonna be okay..."
He took Tinania's hands in his and he closed his eyes, praying like he had never prayed before, to whatever deity would listen, that she made it through this.
He wasn't a good person he knew, he didn't deserve nice things, but he would have given his life that very moment if Tinania would just wake up.

It wasn't a deity, but a rather purple glow as Calantha appears from the fairy dust. She was no more then the size of Lucas's hand. Her fairy wings shimmer as she looks over the sleeping woman "By the fairy dust, I knew her wishing blood would cause this child trouble." sweeping over her, she looks over her shoulder as her three daughters Sunila, Rowyna, and Meilinrae form from their own dust.
"Do you think she will be okay mother?" Meilinrae spoke softly, as she swept her light blue hair from her face. Her small hand touching Tinania's cheek "That was the biggest wish she has done yet.."
Calantha nods as she lands lightly on Tinania's stomach. Looking up at the man she smiles "She'll be fine, she a strong woman. This is just a minor set back. She needs to learn to brace herself and store amount of life for herself." turning back she nods to her daughters "Are you three ready?"
With a nod from each of them, they lifted into the air. Each taking on a different glow. Orange, green, blue, and purple lit up the room as they hover and move around Tinania.
Tinania's own body soon started to glow once again, taking on the light pink that was her own fairy light. It grew brighter and brighter before the other colors soon vanished.
Landing, Calantha smiles to her daughters before she moves carefully towards Tinania "Awake my daughter, awake and be with those who love you." floating backwards she smiels as she hears the intake of breath.
Eyes fluttering, Tinania eyes open as she allows them to adjust to the light "What happen?"

"By all the gods..." Lucas stammered, watching the goings ons. He knew some of the Fae folk, but this... this was something he'd not even dreamed of. His heart beat fast in his chest as he watched and listened. And when Tinania awoke he bowed his head down and pulled her close to him gently. "Thank you.." He said weakly. "Thank you so much..."
He wept openly in front of all of them, he didn't care. Tinania was alive, that's all that mattered at that moment. She was alive!

Tinania was slightly startled when she was pulled to Lucas, then his crying. Hugging him close, she lifts her hand to run it through his hair attempting to sooth him. Looking she smiles to the four fairies. She didn't have to speak, nor did they. It was a connection they had, that they knew what was said.
Within moments, the four fairies were gone. Leaving being fairy dust thay floated down onto the bed.
Seiji was giggling as he clings to his mother "Mommy!!!" it had been the first word he spoke. He was so happy to see his mother awake, he didn't know that he had spoken.
Tinania blinks before she looks down at her son, her jaw dropping just alittle.

Lucas' tears dried up instantly upon hearing that word. He turned his head and smiled and helping Tinania sit up he slid onto the bed and pulled Seiji and her close to him, hugging them tight to himself. "Our son just said his first word..." He murmured happily, closing his eyes and hugging them closer to him. "I'm so proud," He murmured, kissing the top of his head, and turning towards Tinania he kissed her softly.
Finally there was peace.

Tinania couldn't help but smile, just because her son spoke his first word. Then Lucas took him on as his son. Closing her eyes, she returns the kiss. Her hand lifting to press against his cheek. Pulling back she smiles alittle "Your son, and were not married." with a light chuckle, she looks down at Seiji. Lifting her hand, she runs it over his blue hair. She was happy, even if she was sore at this point.
Seiji giggles as he hugs close to Lucas and his mother. His tail swaying in the air. He had his mother back, and that was all that mattered now. Nothing else would change his feelings right now. He was a happy little dragon.

Lucas held them close and he smiled. "Don't have to be married to have a kid... But we can fix that I suppose," He smirked and kissed her cheek. He wouldn't be against it her realized... Tho he would rather a bit more time with her before they decided to do anything permanent. He was happy tho, Seiji was growing, Tinania was back to normal... Nothing would dampen his mood now.
Well his mother could, but she was good at that crap.

Tinania just looks at Lucas before she looks back down at Seiji. Marriage was still a word she was scared of, because the last time she was broken. Closing her eyes she shakes her head "Lucas what are you trying to say?" opening her eyes again, she looks at him. Her eyes filled with emotions, fear being one. but that was hidden because of the curiosity.
Seiji looks up at Lucas then his mother, tilting his head he coos alittle. His tail wrapping slightly around Lucas's wrist as he sucks on one of his claws. His two parents were talking, but what about he didn't have a clue.

Lucas smiled and brushed her cheek softly. "That one day, I would like you to be my wife... But we don't have to rush things," He said softly, leaning in to kiss the top of her head and then he smiled down at Seiji and brushing the little dragon's hair a bit as he smiled.
"We're a family right now, and that's all that really matters to me. I don't want to lose either of you, so I am going to do my damndest to protect you and keep you safe. I love the both of you so much," He said gently, brushing a finger along both Tinania's and Seiji's cheek.
Then he sat up a bit, and looked at the door. He thought about it... Leaving it unlocked was risky.
"A moment..." He said and gently pulled away from them and got up, walking to the door. He turned the lock and made sure it was nice and latched before returning to his family and pulling them close again.

Tinania fell quiet before she set Seiji on the bed. Looking down at the bed for a moment, she gives a small nod before she takes a deep breath. He wanted her to be his wife, while she was happy about it. The other part was scared to death, and that part was showing more and more as she tries to hide the trembling from her wings.
Seiji shakes his head before he tries to move back towards his mother. She was acting strange again, and he did like it at all.

Lucas kissed Tinania's hair once he got a hold of her, wrapping his arms around her waist a bit so he could gently touch Seiji, who he helped situate in his mother's lap. He felt the need for peace, and right now, he did not want to be disturbed.
The locked door would dissuade anyone who felt like trying to pester them, even his father and mother. It was an unspoken rule in the Manor house. A locked door was never to be opened save only in the case of emergancy, and even then, someone would have to be dying.
Or worse.
Lucas could see her distress however, and he wondered what had caused it. He rubbed her side gently with his hand and crooned softly in her ear, "Everything is going to be okay now..." He said softly. "We've a lot of time to make decisions before we do anything," He smiled a bit, turning her head a bit , to kiss her softly, then he looked down at Seiji and smiled. "We've got a lot of time yet don't we Son?"
