Iriys

The babies are here...

They're actually here. All their fingers, all their toes... yes, they were early, but... I don't think they were too early, you know?

Gods, you should have seen Revio's face when he held Malinda after she came out... she was so new, Revio was scared, but... I never saw a smile like it when he was holding her.

Nikolas was the second one, but... he looks just like my dad. Eyes and all.

On the road from Starkglen to Arrowhaven, Sarnai loosened her grip on her mount's reins and let her mind wander, allowing the horse to slow to a leisurely walk.

A cry of rage echoed through the glade, making various birds and small animals scurry out of the surrounding trees and bushes with fright. 

A grunt escaped his teeth as he knelt beside the creek and looked to his ribs. A great bluish bruise setting in over the left side of his chest. He could feel it when he breathed, almost hear the bones shifting when he took a breath.
