"Okay, now... What else?" Shrike asked, staring at the open writing book, intently as the young Ayleid scrawled in it.

"Skilentons!" Cynara called before adding the monsters to the adventure book, with her quill as Nadira stepped in, folding her arms and looking incredibly puzzled.

"What are you two doing?" She asked, with a smile, resisting the urge to giggle at the two children as they played together, prompting Cynara to look up.

"We're writing a story... It started off as a real story but the real story was boring, so we're adding scary things." The Ayleid explained before going back to the book.

"I added ghosts..." Shrike grinned before proceeding to write some more.

Nadira chuckled at the two of them before venturing further into the room, standing over them both and watching them work.

"So, you're both okay?"

"Yep..."

"So... Anything you need?"

"Nope..." The Ayleid replied, without looking up before turning her gaze upwards to Nadira.

"D-Did you need me to do something?"

Nadira shook her head, with a smile.

"Just... Enjoy yourself, okay? I know how... New and scary this must be for you, everyone changing around you..."

Cynara smiled, she appreciated Nadira's concern but it was unwarrented as the Ayleid was somewhat used to being moved from place to place.

"I-I'm okay...

I don't mind it really... No one comes in here anyway." She murmured before going back to her book.

"So..." Nadira began, feeling a little awkward at this point, kneeling down around the book.

"How did Damasus come across you, Cynara?"

"He was there, when I woke up... He was waiting for me..."

"Waiting? I'm sorry but... Could you explain, why were you asleep? How long?"

"I dunno, mother and father never told me why I'd be asleep, they just told me that I would be asleep for a long time... They put me in a stone box and I fell asleep, Damasus said that I was asleep for hundreds... or was it thousands of years? M-More years than I could cound anyway..." The Ayleid explained as she scrawled the next line in her book, seeming to be concentrating on that more than she was on Nadira.

"And Damasus was waiting for you, when you woke up?" The Red haired breton asked, crossing her legs and looking a little puzzled at this point.

"How did he find you? Did he ever say?"

Cynara nodded, though she didn't look too sure, she slowly looked up as she thought on it.

"He said that some people told him about it, fairy tales or... something. He said that he knew that I'd be in there but he was surprised to see that I was... 'A child." She explained, keeping her attention on Nadira.

"That... Casket or whatever it was must have had some power, if it kept you alive for thousands of years, huh?" Nadira asked, not knowing much about such things, she just got a timid nod from Cynara.

"Was it scary? Being locked inside?"

"N-Not really, when I went to sleep I mean. When I woke up? I expected mother and father to be waiting for me but they weren't and I got scared... Everyone looked so weird, they were all white and short and their ears were different, I thought that they were trolls and that they were going to eat me." The Ayleid trailed off, shaking her head and looking back to the page, remaining silent as she added the next line.

"Hehe... Don't worry, I won't let anyone eat you Cynara. I promise, anyone who tries to eat you, will be banished from the order." The Breton chukled, she felt a little bad but it was incredibly funny and cute.

"Even when the larder's empty?" The Ayleid asked, getting another laugh from Nadira.

"Yes, even then, if we all resort to cannibalism, you'll be the last one to be eaten, I promise... Well, next to me, of course."

Cynara smirked and nodded, somewhat satisfied  with that answer as she went back to 'adventure' with Shrike.

"Hoarker ghosts!" Shrike called out, making them both jump out of their skin.

"Erm... Mammoth Skilentons!" The Ayleid countered.

"Ooh, spooky..."
