Times had changed over the years that Crystal had been away from Golden Myst and her chosen. But something had told her that she needed to return. She had to find Lina. So it was that Crystal set out in the direction where she would most likely find Lina. In the past it would not of been hard to make the journey alone but she now had the joys of motherhood to deal with. Trailing behind her were two small white tiger cubs, one male and one female. The female cub looked the most like her mother where as the male looked more like Crystal's mate who had upped and disappeared right after she gave birth. Every so often Crystal would have to stop so that she and the cubs could rest . Crystal wondered what she would be getting herself into when she returned home. She had this feeling that Lina was displeased with her but she knew that Lina couldn't stay mad at her long..especially now with Crystal's secret weapon..her cubs..they were so cute and fluffy and a bundle of energy. She knew that the children of the kingdom would truly enjoy their company. Crystal followed the direction that her senses told her to follow knowing that in the end she would be home where she belonged.

If Crystal were seeking her out, she would find her easily enough. Crystal had been to Larshia before. What Crystal didn't know, was that Gelina was married again and carrying her husband's child. Who she was married too would be a shock for her familiar to be sure.
And yes, she was angry with Crystal for crossing lines. What the hell that cat was thinking when she paired up with Ryu was beyond her. Yes, she knew. She knew all about it. Gelina had her ways. People never seemed to realize that about her.
In Larshia, Gelina could be found sitting on the terrace just outside the library, basking in the sun while Magus was off Goddess knows where. As it was, they were working towards a peaceful life. Not that it ever worked out that way. But it was quiet for now and that was just fine with Lina.

The journey continued for the three white tigers towards Larshia just a few more paces would bring them to the terrace where Crystal saw Lina sitting. She looked over her shoulder to her cubs and gave them strict instructions to remain right where they were until she called for them. The two cubs nodded to their mother then sat down in the grass and watched as their mother continued on towards Lina. Crystal was happy to see that she looked well..and noticed a change in her physically but remained silent about it letting Lina explain if she wished. As Crystal came to stand beside Lina she would lean up against her and nuzzle her hand. She had missed Lina greatly and she knew that she had made a poor choice in following Ryu around but what else could she have done? Lina had gone away for a time and Crystal had felt miserable..and as the saying goes..Misery loves company even if it was Ryu.

Her mind had been elsewhere and she was startled by the nuzzle to her hand. Pulling back a fist to deck whoever was touching her, she looks and then blinks seeing who it was. "Crystal? Is that you?" Letting her hand down slowly. "What in the name of the Goddess are you doing here? And why do you insist on sneaking up on me!?"
It didn't dawn on her quite yet that she was still angry with the tiger. That would come in the next ten minutes or so. What she did catch after gathering her wits about her, were the two tiger cubs sitting over in the grass. She looks at them for a moment, then looks back at Crystal. Seems Gelina hadn't been the only one intent on being a mother.

~Hello Lina..It's been a long time. I didn't think I was sneaking up on you..thought you would of felt my presence but it seems your mind is elsewhere.~ Crystal would follow Lina's gaze to her cubs sitting in the grass patiently..figeting at times because they were used to running amuck through the forest. ~Yes, they are mine though there are times that I wish to not lay claim to them..mischievous little buggers they are.~

"...Friend of yours Gelina?" There was no sound of footfalls, nor even a hint of his prescence until he was actually there..coming to fruition just behind his wife. Lately, he had developed an oddly habit of literally sneaking up on people. What's more, that deeply resonant baritone of his could be quite terrifying to those whom knew him not.
Indeed, it was the Dark Lord of the Rim himself, and quite the protective husband of his pregnant wife. While even not physically present at times, he was always watching..somehow...someway..he would be there faster than one could draw breath should anyone even breathe wrong on his wife.

She smiles at Crystal. "They're beautiful." And just as it was stated before, she realized that she had been angry with Crystal. But before she could open her mouth, her husband's question rang out behind her. Startled, she spun around to face him, her red hair flailing around and over one shoulder, green eyes smoldering that he'd had the audacity to sneak up on her like that. "Yes, as a matter of fact, she is."
Huffing at him then glancing over her shoulder at the large white tiger. "Meet Crystal ...my familiar." She figured that was all that needed to be said about it. As far as Crystal trailing after Ryu instead of coming to find her? Gelina would deal with that later. Right now, Magus was on her shit list.

She looked over to the man who dared sneak up on her chosen an icy glint flickered in the tiger's eyes. She thought it best to keep her mouth shut for the moment since she was already in trouble with Lina. ~Thank you for the compliment about my cubs..who is that man?~

Hearing Crystal in her head, she turns back around to face her, knowing her back to her husband would probably more than irritate him. "This is Magus Lee, The Dark Lord of the Rim, Duke of Larshia ...and my husband."
That was all that needed to be said. He is who he is. She was sure that Crystal had heard of him, or heard stories for sure, so she wasn't quite sure how the tiger was going to react.
Grabbing her attention again were the two cubs playing off in the grass and it made her think of the child she is carrying. Would the baby want to play? Would the baby be free enough to have a childhood instead of being unindated with teachings of the dark arts and training with Magus? Was she going to be able to raise a child as close to normal as possible with the life that her and Magus lead?
All of those questions would go unanswered for a long time. Right now, she pulls her attention back to the two with her on the terrace and tried like hell to quell the anger she had with Crystal. For if Ryu's name came up in front of Magus, there was no telling what he might do.

She let out a snort at hearing the man's name..she had heard of him and as far as she was concerned he was right up there with another person who's name she knew better than to bring up. ~He better treat you like gold Lina...for if he dares hurt you like someone else we know I will kill him..You deserve to be treated right. I know that I have let you down in the past and I am deeply sorry but I had nowhere else to go...I mean I did spend time with Desari and her children but that got to be boring..so I moved on..and he had called for me..did you expect me to just ignore him?~ She would look over to her cubs making sure they were staying out of trouble then would shift her gaze to Magus studying him carefully before returning her gaze to Lina.
