A loud bang shook the house and a poof of dust appeared. Aysel pointed excitedly as her mommy made her way out of the house. "MOMMY!" She cried happily, squirming on the branch. Finally her mommy was back. Being with Aunty Niki and 'La was nice but her mommy was best.
Mommy must have heard her, as all of a sudden she bagan to run towards the group. "Aysel! Come on down sweetling, carefull...Careful!" Happy to oblige the toddler made to go down the same way she came up. But when one has six limbs, it's easy to get a little tangled.
For a moment Aysel free fell, a short scream escaping from her. Her mother's arms caught her and cradled her tight. Aysel buried her in her mom's arms, shaking with the sudden burst of fear. She had been sooo high up in the tree. Maybe climbing wasn't so much fun after all...
With one last loud bang, and a poof of dust escaping out a window, the prelimenary work was complete. Slowly Tara made her way down stairs and out the back door. Her hair was a pale teal, leeched of color the same way Tara was drained of magical energy. Though the work had been far more energy consuming than mage was capable of, her work had led to several artifacts that stored energy. Those resevoiurs were now drained but at least Tara wasn't flat on her back with a pounding headache and other assorted ailements.
Still the mage moved stiffly as she made her way into the back yard. A sudden shout of, "MOMMY!" made her look up. The young woman burst into a peculiar hobble/run as she hurried towards the small group.
"Aysel! Come on down sweetling, carefull...Careful!" Luckly the branch wasn't much higher than Tara or Niki's head, and the toddler only fell a few inches before being caught safely by her mother.
"Nikiana Ledell! I asked to watch Aysel! Not put her in danger. Out! Out!"

Niki gasped as Aysel squirmed and lost her balance on the branch, tumbling for a few moments before Tara caught the child. Sighing as Tara rounded upon her, she opened her mouth to say something, but just sighed again.
"Come on, Ala. Time to go home..."
Ala hung down from her branch, planting her feet on Niki's shoulders and moving down to the woman's back. The pair quietly walked around the house to go back to their car and drive home.
