It has been many months here in the tower. My children grow and learn. Luke is a constant source of laughter for us all. He is beautiful and happy and charming. He is sitting up now, and standing up around the tables. It will not be long before he takes his first steps.
The twins continue to learn here, and while I can but supervise, I cannot help. They came to me, my two little precious ones, and talked to me, about their need to see the moon and the sun, the stars and the clouds.
Reluctantly I agreed that we would open a portal and give ourselves access to the outside world. I rely on them, perhaps too much for their young age, to be the keeper of the doors. They have not yet failed me and I find this new freedom exhilirating.
We all enjoy it, and Meg and Laura are not so depressed as before. All of us long for Lucas. The twins especially persisted in their desire to know what became of him.
I allowed them to scry, but it was to all of our disappointments when we could not find him.
We did find Rose and Mose, and it appears that Mose has been allowed to retain the seat of Magistrate there.
I know not their troubles, but it does seem from what we can see, that they too, do not know what has become of any of us.
I long to step into Roses room and hug her, and suffer her chastisements..but I dare not, for fear of the trouble it would bring her. Perhaps some time in the future, I will send her some sign that we are all alive and well, but for now, I must stay away. It is too soon.
My new freedoms have allowed me to spend some time in Rhy'Din, though I have been able to learn nothing of Lucas or the Vipers Bite. I have out my tethers, but nothing bites.
I too, spend time in other villages adn market squares. I had hopes of retaining the services of Ullie, a large and rather ugly man, but one with quarryman skills. His help would have been invaluable with building a home, and helping to restore some of Phyrexia.
I go there at times, to those lands of the God of Machines.
I wander the crumbling walls and smell the odor of rust. It is so silent there, and yet so beautiful in its decay.
Were it not for the children, I would return here permanently. It is too great a risk however. I know not if Yawgmoth will ever return, but I cannot take the chance he would.
So I only go there alone, and never stay for long. It has a haunted peace though, and it soothes my mind to see it.
I miss Lucas with a part of me I feel is gone forever.
I find myself lost in thought for hours, of past and present events. I am not happy, but I am not unhappy. I have all the luxury I need. I have all the security I could want for my babies and I have the company of the sweet Meg and Laura. We are for all effects, a strange little family and all each other has.
