B A B Y x B R O T H E R How long had she been home now? Quite a few months, too many months if you asked her. Not being able to go out on the field made Esmeralda feel like she was constricted to a tiny space with her parents, and she hadn’t stayed with her parents in a long time. It was a necessary evil however; her mother needed the help around the house and things needed to be prepared for the baby’s arrival. She was going to be a sister and she’d finally settled with the thought. Many in the family were hoping for a boy, one who would be able to take up the family tradition of a battler. Unlike Esmeralda who had become a civilian, the disgrace of the family.
The months went by far too slowly, Esmeralda had caught up on everything she’d previously needed to get done. Her notes had been rewritten into a neat book, her office completely overhauled so that it was actually nice and clean and someone could come in without tripping on a book. She’d even managed to clear up some shelves so she could show her collection of orbs; they were after all her pride and joy she was going to show them off! At home she’d manage to help clean the whole house top to bottom, helped with her mother’s shopping and then the assembling of the nursery. The bed was made of iron, decorated all fancy yet there wasn’t a single sharp edge anywhere. It had been a gift from her father’s side of the family, and the first piece of furniture for the baby. Her mother’s side had given weapons to hang, which had been a little eerie since it screamed of their desire for a boy.
It wasn’t like it bothered her too much that they were being so obvious about the thing, after all Esmeralda asked what her mother had received for her and she’d laughed at the response. Her father side of the family had given clothing, and her mother’s side shields. It was a little ironic since she’d started out as a healer and then became a civilian. None the less, she was glad that her parents didn’t have to spend a fortune on things. They weren’t poor, but they certainly didn’t have much extra money lying around either.
In the middle of the night, Esmeralda woke up to the piercing cry of her mother. The baby was coming, her father yelled down for Esmeralda to get the midwife. The Dovaa was out the door and running faster than ever, and she’d awoken the midwife and dragged her back to her house. Then her father was locked out of the bedroom and Esmeralda was the one to hold her mother’s hand as she delivered the baby. There was much yelling and swearing from her mother, Esmeralda herself was white and scared from the whole experience, hoping that her own wouldn’t be anything like this.
“It’s a boy!” The midwife cried out as she handed the loud crying baby to her mother.

I N T R I G U E Dear journal,
I met a young Orderite who almost fit the above everyone else attitude the Orderite all seem to harbor. We did however, have a sympathetic conversation about the Dovaa and our isolation. I do not believe the Dovaa should involve themselves, and whatever he may believe doesn't matter in the end. I stand behind my people.

F E E L I N G x L O N E L Y Dear journal,
Now that I have parted paths with Ekundayo I have this empty feeling that has begun to swirl around me. The companionship of other Dovaa who are pursuing their own journey does not fill with me with joy; I even find their stories boring… I had never spent so much time with a single person while hunting dragons; it is rather quite nice to have. Though I wish our entry into the city hadn’t been so crazy, I do not wish to see Ekundayo hurt which is why I had to leave him behind. But why do I feel so terrible now?

T I D E S x O F x C H A N G E Dear journal,
Everything is so crazy and messed up and I don’t even know where to begin. I never thought I would get dragged into a war, much less by an old instructor who is just plain old and crazy! That man is foul and needs to die; he is going to ruin me and my family. I doubt I can kill an elder of the water clan, not without it going unnoticed obviously. And Ekundayo… He was there, and he gave me his knife and kissed me and I am just so confused by what we are and what I happening around me.

T I M E S x O F x W A R The monster was dead, people were returning to whoever was waiting for them back at camp. Esmeralda headed towards her parents, her walk slow and exhausted as she spotted the tent. Entering Esme was met by both her parents and Erisi who briefly turned his back towards her.
“Here she is.” He mumbled softly, smiling at her.
“Indeed.”
“Is it true Esmeralda? Answer me.”
Esmeralda’s head snapped to her mother, she could almost feel the heat coming off of her in waves. She was sure if her father had put a hand on his wife it would have sizzled.
“Is what true?”
“You are seeing an Oblivionite? You are courted by an Oblivionite? You stayed with this Oblivionite and he kissed you in the middle of a battlefield?!” Her mother took a step towards her, her father finally gripping his wife with a heavy hand.
“Let her speak woman.”
Esmeralda narrowed her eyes at Erisi.
“He is not courting me. Yes I did spend some time with him in the forest because I required his help finding a Diabi dragon. Something I obviously couldn’t do on my own. Indeed I did have to stay with him, but by no means did we stay together.” The Dovaa’s voice was soft, a whisper compared to her mother’s roar.
“And he kissed you?! Have you seen him after?”
“Yes he kissed me…” She couldn’t deny that much. “Yes, I’ve seen him after.”
“Erisi says he is a freak! Woven and kept together by threads! How can you possibly fall for a monster! He is almost like the thing people fought and died for! How dare you!” The slap to her face came much faster than anticipated; actually Esmeralda had not expected a slap from her mother at all. Her hand rose to hold her cheek, she could feel it becoming swollen. Her father hadn’t even seen that one, and all he could do was sigh.
“Your daughter is a disgust to the Dovaa, I must report her to Marcus. She might never be allowed to enter—“ And now Her mother was swinging a punch towards Erisi, her fist hit a wall of ice. The ice cracked as the heat melted the ice but Erisi had gotten the message.
“If you ever dare speak one word against my daughter, I will kill you personally with my bare hands.” The threat was raw with emotion, anger swirling in the room. Erisi left as quickly and quietly as he possibly could, leaving the trio. Seristas huffed, glaring at her husband.
“You should have let me hit him.”
“I couldn’t allow you to punch an Elder in the face sweetheart.” She shrugged and turned towards Esmeralda.
“You have much explaining to do young lady, and I am not in a mood for lies.”
“I’ll tell you the whole story,” She said defiantly. “But you can’t judge him because of what Erisi has said. You will meet him maybe one day as he is my friend, and you will judge him then and by my words.”
