Alantha and Elemmiire. My two beautiful babies. My Midnight and Star.
I do not remember much of the days that brought them into the world, other than Rose hovering over me. I know by the time Elemmiire came, I was too exhausted to scream.
I think I came back to myself the day after their birth, and I have felt myself in a state of awe ever since. Such perfect little girls. Alantha has the dark skin of her father, though her hair is dark as well. Elemmiire is the smallest, with her skin like mine, and her hair nearly white. Such an odd mix these girls have, but how beautiful they are with it.
To know that they will be with me always, that I do not have to give them up to anyone..contents me like nothing else. They are mine..they will inherit what I can teach them, and all that I can provide. At last, I have my own namesake.
Their father is not forgotten, and in fact, I am always aware of the danger he poses. Thus I took steps in the weeks before the girls birth, to insure that they would grow up safe.
I cannot speak of it here, nor anywhere, else the spell may be broken, but our existance now is in that place between the seconds, between light and dark, where none can harm them.
There was concern, that in this state, they would not be allowed to learn of the world as it is, and so there is portal from this surreal place to the natural one. With this small opening, I have, after all these years, the Sov again.
It was so odd to see it there, looming out of the mist with rays of sunlight spilling eerily over its roof. So many memories came flooding back, from the days I opened it to the day it burned down and nearly took me with it.
It looks so much the same, and although I know it was resurrected from my own memory, it still seems so strange that it stands again. This time however, I have complete control, and if danger presents itself, I have but only to shut the door.
I laugh to recall how it was so many many years ago. I was so bright-eyed and eager to try and run a legitimate business. Mantis had even shown his nice side then, and brought me all the glassware that the Sov used. I will never forget that gesture from him.
The Lucky Sov will exist now, only when I chose, and only those that belong will find it.
Perhaps in the years to come, Khaless will someday meet his daughters, but I fear the harm he could put to them, and until they are grown, I will do my best to keep them from him. He cannot find me here, nor can he manipulate his way within. We are safe..but oh how I miss him in the depth of the night.
Rose has stayed with me, her own sons grown and running her farm. She has tended me and the babes, and refuses to leave my side, even when it was known that I would exist here. She is the most loyal of all servants, and I will insure her safety and survival as well. She wants for nothing, other than her family, and I arrange at times for her to visit them.
The babes are hungry, I must end for now.
