[Mykaelah Deathsheart]

---

Mykaelah slid from her mount and looked around the castle grounds,watching as her father's army trained and did some of the daily drills,"its good to be home...,"she said then looked up as one of her stepmother's handmaidens came rushing towards her.

"Lady Mykaelah!!!,"she said as she gave her a gentle hug,"hello Alice...how are you?,"she asked as she returned the hug then stepped back,abit dirty from the ride.

"I am doing well m'lady...say did you bring the young master with you?,"she asked hopeful,"nay Alice...he is too young to travel still..besides Draven and I will be joining everyone here for the holidays..,"she said as she removed her riding cloak and gloves then handed them to another maid as a young boy ran to get her horse.

"Lord and Lady Alendale are awaiting you in the study...,"Alice said as she led Mykae into the huge castle,smiling to the maids and butlers as they nodded to her.

"Tell them I will join them as soon as I freshen up abit...,"she said as Alice nodded and then moved off to give them the message.

Taking a deep breathe she walked up the stairs and into her old room,smiling to the young girl who came in with a basin of water and a rag,"shall I lay you out a dress m'lady?,"she asked as Mykae shook her head.

"No that will not be needed thank you...,"she said as the young girl bowed then left quickly causing Mykae to laugh softly and move to her wardrobe. Pulling open the doors she reached inside and pulled out a dress made of the finest red silk,"this will do nicely...,"she said as she laid it out the bed then moved to slip out of her armor.

Hearing a knock on the door she turned her head and looked to it,"its open...,"she said as Alice stepped into the room,"they are awaiting you m'lady..,"she said as Mykae checked her reflection then followed her out into the hall then down the stairs and into the study.

"Who is watching my grandson Mykaelah?,"her father asked as soon as she stepped into the room,"his nanny poppa..,"she said as she kissed his cheek gently then moved to her stepmother and did the same.

"Why isn't Draven watching him?,"he asked causing Mykae to sigh softly,"Because poppa..he is still inservice to you and is on his guard duty..,"she said rather nastly causing her stepmother to laugh softly.

"Leave the girl alone Mikhal...be glad she is visiting...,"she said as she looked to her daughter with a wink,"ignore your father dear..he's still moping over you getting married..,"she said as her father grunted and poured himself another ale.

"Poppa...I have come to speak with you on a matter...,"she said as he looked to her over his glass,"I wish to rejoin..,"she said causing him to lower his glass slowly.

"Mykaelah why do you want to rejoin..you have a family to think of.,"he said as she took a deep breathe,"it is all I know other than being a wife..and it puts me near Draven...,"she said as her father shook his head.

"I'm sorry Mykaelah but you have a family now...with Draven inservice you must be the one who looks after Andre..it would do him no good for both of his parents to be killed.,"he said then lifted his hand as she started to argue,"enough..you are not rejoining..now lets go enjoy our dinner before you return home..,"he said as she nodded and stood up then followed them into the dining room.
