Her New Beginning

[Nym Zeal]

It was early morning and already the rider was creeping from the marriage bed, quietly getting dressed and making it a point to pause and watch Syn's face as he slept. Her husband. Tenderly she moved her fingers to touch his cheek and brush his dark hair back behind his ear. As she did it, the faint light coming from the window behind her shone off the set of rings on her left hand. With a smile, she rose and made her way out leaving even Lapis to sleep.

Her boots were soon damp from moving through the morning dew on the grass, having made her way past Eirik moist and sleeping form in the fields and through the woods. Not even her cats were awake now, the mountain lions napping in the trees deeper in the woods. Prince Frog was probably someplace warm and the new duck and rabbit were still in the mage tower with her husband. She was completely alone, her mind mentally running towards the silver hatchling she'd raised as well as reaching to tentatively touch Angel's mind to see if she also slept. Lady would probably be awake but unless Nym needed her she was fairly certain the firelizard would be more concerned with catching her breakfast than seeing what the rider was occupied with.

Once her mind was at rest to those matters, she hovered her hand over her pendant that stayed hidden in her blouse, listening to it. Even this magical item seemed to change with Xia's magical addition inside her body, the pendant seeming to whisper to her when she wasn't paying attention. The children felt well and safe which allowed their mother to relax and carry on until she got to the waterfalls. Sitting by the water's edge and looking at her reflection in the water, she took a shaky breath and started to talk aloud. "I wish you'd been there, Jassie," she said, her eyes seeming to focus past the reflection and deeper into the water. "I wish you'd been there to speak to when I first realized how I felt about him. I wish you'd been there when I was confused and needed guidance. I wish you'd seen me make my promise."

Her voice had started to shake slightly with her words and with a blink of her eyes the tears that had started to make her reflection blur fell, making her see clear once more and hitting the water. She watched the small ripples, knowing that now her pain and heartache was the pool's as well. Then she smiled, feeling the hurt liften a little at the sense that it was shared. "He is beautiful, Jassie. He really is. The type of eyes that make your heartbreak just looking at them," she'd settled back, making herself comfortable as she talked to the water as though it were her dead sister, hoping that Jasmine were someplace listening. "I.. well, I've never said good bye to you, sister mine. I never wanted to admit that you were gone. I think I'm ready now, though. I just wanted you to know that you can rest in peace, that all those you loved love you still in memory, but they are happy and you can rest." She had always wondered about that, knowing her sister wouldn't rest in death so long as those she loved were miserable.

Standing, she looked up at the waterfall, the underside of the clouds overhead scraped in pink, gold lining through the sky. It was breathtaking, this first morning as Lady Thornheart. She knew, looking at it and then out into the woods where the sunrays pierced through the fog that remained, the entire atmosphere serene and beautiful, that this was the life she'd been meant to lead. A sense of contentment came over her and she started back down the path to the castle and the mage tower, the world around her coming alive with the morning.

:As the dragonrider made her way back to the castle, Anduin would walk out from the trees,clad in only a pair of black leather pants. The broad-framed barbarian watched Nym until she was out of sight, then would make his way to the lake, slowly dropping to his knees as he knelt there in silence for a moment, midnight-black hair falling in front of his face as he thought about her, recalling Nym as she spoke, a sad smile coming to his face as he would speak softly, looking out over the water: Well, Jasmine, I never got the chance to offer you a proper farewell either...: He would shudder softly as memories of Jasmine passed through his mind: After I lost you, I contemplated ending mine own life, so I could come be with you. But I see now that I was meant to live and be happy. I found a new love. Her name is Angel. You two would have liked each other if you had met...: He would let out a soft chuckle as he thought for a moment. He would slowly reach into a small sack which he had carried with him. He would pull out a womans ring, gold loop with a blackened jewel on it. He would look to the ring for a moment, then would look out over the water, a pang of sadness passing through him for a moment: Well, time for me to say goodbye,to let you go to your rest: He would slowly stand as he looked out over the lake and the waterfall: You always liked it here, so what better place to bury the one thing I have left, the only thing to remind me of you...: He would lower his head in silent prayer, then would swing his arm back, holding it for a moment, then would swing his arm forward, the ring flying out of his hand. As it flew through the air, it would catch a little of the sunlight, making it seem like a golden beacon as it fell into the lake, sinking to the bottom. Anduin would watch it as it sank to the bottom: Well, goodbye Jasmine...: He would then turn, making his way into the woods to be alone:

:: The fields would seem so peaceful as a cold breeze blew across the fields.In the miidle of the field, by a small tree the air would suddenly seem to ripple as if made of water and suddenly a, a robed figure would walk through as if appearing from thin air and stand in the miidle of the fields. The figure's glowing silver eyes would gaze the surrounding areas seeing noone was around. He would have flashbacks of past memories of his former life and shunt them into the back of his mind forgetting all emotions he once had as he has changed. He would lean against the tree and contemplate on all the conditioning he had undergone while he was away and why he did this. He would then pull out a small amulet he had around his neck and take it off and held it in his hand. He should not keep this for it reminds him of his past but instead of destroying it, he put it in a small pouch that hung on his side and slowly sat down against the tree and planned his next move.

From spirit to dust

"I wish you'd been there, Jassie," she said, her eyes seeming to focus past the reflection and deeper into the water. "I wish you'd been there to speak to when I first realized how I felt about him. I wish you'd been there when I was confused and needed guidance. I wish you'd seen me make my promise."===

With in all whom knew her there would be a realse now that Nym her sister and greatest freind her closest confedont and Anduin her love her life her husband Had become happy and were now willing to let her go She smiled and planted only one thought before she let this world go and moved to the next.
"you are not without me Iw as there i saw and am so happy you are finally at rest with love in her heart and belly a blood of your own that i know shall be no less or more than any of your other children I have left Nicole please care for her, a motherless one that never even knew me must know that i love her and only wish for her happiness. She is safe and at home now in Golden Myst with her names sake as her King and his Wonderous Wife and surounded by a loving family not of blood but of the tumble weed and there are times that i wounder if thoses binds were not stronger. I love you all you may always come to this spot as if it were the grave i shall never have. I do nto know if when i let go i will be able to respond but in your heart you will know as you have always known."
Then for all that had even met her her memory woudl slip a little her spirit was no longer there to feel it was as if she had moved farther beyond this world or any other that is known to us.
