She smiled, watching Fenris jump up and love on Rohan. But the smile turned to a look of concern as Fenris acted like he was hurt. She remembered bits and pieces of the battle. Did he get injured too? She suddenly felt horrible for not checking to see if Fenris was okay. She was about to walk towards them when Rohan's hand glowed and Fenris was right back to his chipper self. A sigh of relief came over her at this point.
She chuckled as he bounded of. But then, Rohan came to her. He grabbed her, not just any grab. But one a lover would. She could feel her cheeks brighten as they became hot, as well as her ears. "R...Rohan?" She whispered his name as he held her. The look of his eyes. She felt her heart race in her chest. He spoke of a promise to a 13 year old girl. Was this girl her? She looked into his Hazel eyes, her hand coming up and brushing a lock of his brown hair away as she tried to recall what had happened all those years ago.
"Go now! I'll hold them off. It's not safe here anymore, Mara!"
"No! I can't leave you here...Ro....." There was an explosion and the building behind him went up like dry kindling in the middle of the Summer. The young 13 year old Mara gasped. Tears in her eyes.
The boy looked again. "Go! I promise. We'll find eachother again. Now go!"
The memory faded. Tears found themselves making small streams on her cheeks. She looked to him. "It...It is you..." she gasped as his lips met hers. She met the kiss and held him close. Shaking in his arms. But she couldn't tell if it was from the cold or something else.
"I can't believe.....its you! After all this time....."

He continued to smile watching her for a few moments then before long the smile would disappear from his lips when Rohan would see tears lightly streaming down, her cheeks "I couldn't believe it myself." he began before both arms raised up as Rohan's hands moved up and then using his thumbs from each hand to wipe them away. "To be honest I wasn't sure." he said while allowing his arms to drop down and move back around her while his hazel eyes lingered within hers, a moment "But when you spoke about a boy who had come to your aid." he paused allowing his words to trail off and then a sigh escaped from his lips, "When you lived in Jholton and how the same kid had ran off another that had bullied you." though within that moment the smile appeared upon Rohan's lips. Those hazel eyes continued looking within hers "Awhile before the attack I began piecing it together." he said though Rohan's words, trailed off "Though I had hoped." he paused allowing his words to trail off and his eyes closed and the smile disappeared from his lips "That I would find you." he said, though it was at this point his eyes opened then quickly finding hers once again "Just it took twelve years." he paused lowering his gaze from her.
"Twelve long years." he added though it was at this point that he felt Mara's body shivering lightly as Rohan's hands moved along her back in a swift motion, to give some warmth to her yet before long his hazel eyes shifted to look toward the window then looked back to her. "For now you need some clothes to wear." he said before moving with her from the front door then he lowered his right arm and he reached back to shut the door, behind them "We can't have you catching a cold." he said from there Rohan moved behind Mara and he would guide her down, the hallway toward the bedroom and once they reached the door he opened it though he stood there allowing Mara to move inside the bedroom.
Once she did he followed in behind her "There is a decent size closet over there." he said as his left arm moved up and his hand pointed toward, the door on the opposite side of the room while his right reached back to close the door "You may may not find clothes in your size or to your liking." he began, "But they will have to do for now." he paused allowing his words to trail off while those hazel eyes looked to her "Once you get dressed we need to patch up the window in the living room." he added.

She listened to his words. Her eyes never leaving his hazel ones. He spoke of the boy. Confirming it was him. She smiled as his thumbs wiped away her tears, finding her head leaning towards his hands as her own hands rested upon his biceps. "Twelve years.....so long....I thought for sure...that..." her voice broke a moment but then a soft chuckle came to her lips. She felt his hands moving along her back to make an attempt to warm her. She barely felt the cold.
A soft chuckle came to her lips as he mentioned not wanting her to catch a cold. "I rarely get sick." She said softly but went with him as he lead her back into the cabin. "When those men came I...." she spoke of the attack, but her words trailed off. Her fears of losing him making it hard to continue. But once in the bedroom, her thoughts about the attack was redirected towards the small closet on the opposite side of the room. It looked to be untouched for quite sometime as well as everything else that was in the small building.
"Are you...sure its okay I go through these clothes?" she asked as she opened the doors and was flooded with the smell of mothballs. The scent assaulting her nose for a moment before she started to go through the clothing. "Rohan....these...are so lovely." She smiled as her thumb and forefinger ran along the material. She paused at a light blue dress that nearly matched her eyes. The material seemed to shimmer softly. She removed the article of clothing off the hanger and looked at it. She moved to the full length mirror in the bedroom and held it in front of her. It looked like it would fit.

A chuckle escaped from his lips when she told him that she rarely ever got sick though when they were in the bedroom and Rohan watched her as she moved across, the room though when stopped at the door that he pointed out Mara turned to face him from there she asked him if he was sure for her to go through, the clothes "Yes it's fine." he said with a nod then once she moved into the closet Rohan heard her moving around within the closet. When he heard her speak that they were lovely he smiled then lowered his gaze to the floor for a few moments before raising and looking back, toward the door once again just in time to see Mara emerge from the closet with a light blue dress which closely matched her eyes.
He watched Mara as she moved toward the full length mirror at the corner of the room "It was Erica's." he began as Rohan moved toward her closing, the distance between them as his eyes looked at her in the mirror "As is every other dress in there." he paused before moving toward the nearby window, snow had begun to fall yet as Rohan looked outside his right arm raised up and rested upon the sill of the window though as he looked outside. He imagined what seemed to be children playing in the snow "You would have liked her and our children." he added. Though there was a mild sadness to his tone as his gaze remained fixed looking out the window.

"It was Erica's" He said. She turned from the mirror, to see him staring out of the window. The sadness in his eyes made her heart hurt. She laid the dress over a chair nearby and closed a few steps towards him. "I'm sure...I would have loved to have met her and your children. I'm sure they were beautiful." she spoke softly. Her hand resting ontop of his that lay on the sill.
Oceanic blues gazed to him, concern held high in her eyes as she wondered what she could do. The amount of pain he must have felt...and still feels over the loss of his family. "Rohan..." she spoke after a moment. "I am...so sorry...To loose the one you love....and your children..." Her voice broke. "I could never imagine...." her hand tightened a little over his.
She turned her head slightly to gaze out of the window to where he was looking. Where kids would have played was now empty except for the snow, unmarred by footsteps or toys. There was nothing there to even suggest a child was once here. Her memory went back to the picture she found of his family. The children looked much like him....and of Erica. She seem to have lost herself for a moment. Looking out into the snow as she stood beside him. Her hand still upon his as she shared the moment of his sadness. Perhaps, mourning with him for the woman and the children she had never met.

A sigh escaped from his lips as she moved closer to him his head turned slightly as hazel eyes peered upon hers briefly before he turned to look out the window, from there she told him that she was sure and that she would have loved to have met both her and their children and that she was sure, that they were beautiful Mara's words spoken softly before he felt her hand moving on top of his and there it would remain. However after a moment of silence she added that she was sorry for him to have lost the one that he loved, as well his children and that she could never imagine Rohan's eyes continued peering out the window though after a moment he closed his eyes, a single tear streamed down his left cheek though when his eyes opened the visualization of children playing in the snow disappeared. "It has been nearly three years since their deaths." he said as his free hand moved up to wipe away the tear from his eye.
From there his hand moved up to the inside of his right forearm and moving along that general area Rohan remembered that it was a reminder of when, his flesh was torn off from that forearm by one of the beasts though shortly after his first transformation the flesh had healed but what remained, was a scar it was what reminded him of when he defended himself against the beasts who had killed his family. Before long Rohan's head turned and those hazel eyes looked toward Mara, as his free hand moved up to lightly hold onto hers "I have been alone since their deaths." he paused though the pause turned, into a mild chuckle "Well up until I met Fenris." he said yet this was Rohan's way of breaking away from such a painful and tragic time.
After a moment those hazel eyes looked down and over to the light blue dress which sat within the chair on the opposite side from her "That dress..." he began, yet paused to break away from the window and then turned face her "I am certain that you like it." he said. "Well come then, I wonder if it can fit you as it did Erica." he added with a smile.

She looked to him as he spoke, just in time to see him wipe away a tear. "To be alone...." Her hand tightened on his as she recalled. "Thirteen years.....I have been alone...always running...Searching.." She did smile as he mentioned Fenris. "I am glad you have found him. And had some beautiful children." She looked up to him as his hand rested upon hers. She turned her body towards him.
"That dress..." he began, yet paused to break away from the window and then turned face her "I am certain that you like it." Her head turned, to look at the dress. "Yes. I remember seeing a dress much like it in back before...." her words trailed off a little. "I always imagined that it was ment for royalty. A princess..." she chuckled softly, blushing a moment. "I know...its silly...to think that as a little girl I thought of something that could never be." "Well come then, I wonder if it can fit you as it did Erica." he added with a smile.
She smiled softly and nodded. Moving over towards where the dress lay. She wasn't shy about removing the cloak from her form. She stood bare before him as she let the tattered cloak fall to the ground beside her feet. She was perched up on the balls of her feet, holding the garment up in her hands. Examining it much like an artist would a painting. Her body stretched out, much like a dancer in mid pose. After a moment she slipped the garment over her head. It slid down her body and over her rounded breasts. Hugging her curves until it came to rest just a little bit above the ankle. It was a close fit but It would do just nicely. She smiled as she turned her back to him, moving her long blond hair to the side as she exposed the way to button the dress together. "Would you mind?" She asked him softly as she peered over her left shoulder to him. Holding her hair away that fell in tanglets around her upper shoulder and arm.

Though before he fully broke away from the window he heard her respond that that she had been alone for thirteen years while running and searching he figured, that perhaps she could never find a place to truely call home though Rohan's hazel eyes continued looking upon Mara as she smiled then told him, that she was glad for Rohan to have found him and had some beautiful children before she turned to look to him eventually he watched, as she turned to look to the dress setting in the chair as she explained to him that she had remembered seeing a dress much like it before. Mara's words trailing off yet before long she told him that she always imagined that a dress such as that were meant for women of royalty she paused, to chuckle softly while Rohan took note of Mara blushing as she added that she knew that it was silly to think of things as a little girl who thought, of something that she could never be anod would be given shortly after hearing all that she had to say his right hand moving up to lightly grab onto her hand.
"Well the thing about Erica is she was no princess." he began "She was a noble like you." he said yet there was a momentary pause from him and before long, he spoke "However long before I met her she had shed her noble upbringing." he added then after a few moments those hazel eyes watched as Mara, moved toward the dress laying against the chair though nothing more would be said between them as Rohan watched she pulled the cloak down allowing it to fall to the floor. Her form now fully revealed to him once again as she picked up the dress with each hand from as he watched her examine it yet before long, Mara began to move with the dress almost in a dancing like motion from there he watched as she slipped the dress over her head and then the garment, inched down her body and over her breasts then the light blue garment hugged against her form as finally collapsed down and the hem line stopped just above her ankles.
"That dress fits you nicely." he said just before those hazel eyes watched Mara as she turned her back to him and pulled her blonde hair to the side exposing the back, of the dress it was when she asked him if he minded "Not at all." he said with a smile as he moved toward her, before long their bodies were in near close proximity to one another as he moved his arms up his eyes fixed upon the buttons.
However instead of moving the buttons in place like she was wanting Rohan moved in further to press his body against hers while his left arm moved around, the side of her body from there it moved down then stopped at her hip while his right arm moved up and his hand moving, Mara's blonde hair from her neck and shoulder then Rohan lowered his head slightly as his lips first began passionately kissing the flesh of her shoulder. After a few moments his head moved up and his lips touched the nape of her neck which his lips pressed against passionately.

The kiss progressed into something more. Something beautiful. Something profound. A rekindling of lost friends. This rekindling lasted well into the night. Morning came. Birds twittered and all that fun stuff. But when Rohan would awaken, he would not find Mara beside him in the bed. Her side would have been cold, as if she hasn't laid in it for quite sometime.
The door was closed to the rest of the cabin, but movement was heard muffled beyond. The smell of food being cooked wafted under the door and into the bedroom. The smell of bacon, eggs, and fresh bread being cooked. Fenris barked in the other room and he could hear Mara chuckle. "Shhh...You're going to wake him..You'll get some too." Fenris made a soft noise and Mara chuckled again. "Alright...one more...but you'll have to wait for the rest till breakfast." there was a skittering sound as Fenris caught the piece of food she tossed to him and pranced happily to his spot.
When Rohan went from the room, he'll see lots of boxes scattered in various spots near the kitchen. Mara cooking in the same blue dress she tried on before. Her hair pulled back in a ponytail with strands already starting to snake out from the holder. She had a content look upon her face. A softer look in her eyes.

While he slept in the bedroom and Mara resumed cooking in the kitchen a horseman rode upon a dark grey horse though over time the horseman rode, through a clearing yet before long and after leaving from the clearing the horseman pulled back upon the reins his hazel blue eyes, looked toward the cabin with a single boarded up, window which had come into view in the distance a smile adorned the horseman's lips as he firmly gripped the reins and snapped them. As the horse moved toward the cabin the man spoke "This must be the place." he began "I hope that he is here." he added, though the tone of his voice was just shy under a whisper yet the horseman had just recently left from the tavern within the capital where he had, been told by the female bartender that provisions had been delivered recently to a cabin more than thirty minutes from the capital. The cabin was nestled within the forest though she did not question the man as to who he was for she sensed that he had good intentions in, who he was looking for before long she produced a piece of parchment and began drawing on it and before she finished it to hand it over, to him the woman told him that she hoped that he would find who he was looking for after a few moments the dark grey steed moved calmly toward the left side of the cabin.
When horse and rider came within close proximity to the cabin the horseman pulled back upon the reins causing the steed to come to a stop then, after a moment the horseman lowered himself from the saddle of his steed, one dark leather boot followed by the other planted upon the snow below, from there the horseman moved away from his steed and started moving toward the front of the cabin yet the man stopped long enough to look to his left. His eyes looking toward an abandoned shack to noticing another horse which was the same same as his own but of a different color, the man's head turned to look ahead of him once again as the snow crunched underneath his boots from each step that he took though, before long the horseman moved up onto the steps as his boots carried him up and onto the porch which creaked under his weight and he approached the door.
The man could smell food as the smell caused his stomach to rumble lightly then after a moment the man's right arm moved up and stopped at the middle, of the door as his hand knocked upon it three times though the third and final knock was much louder than the previous though not long, after the last knock the man quickly lowered his right arm to his side yet remained quiet as he waited for the open the door.
In the living room within moments of hearing the first knock followed by two more Fenris shot up from his resting spot and had moved toward the front door, he could hear slight movement outside on the porch from the window which had been boarded up by Rohan sometime during the late night, to early morning hours though not long after he growled though it was very brief it was like he smelled a scent that was Rohan's but slightly different. Before long Fenris turned from the door and looked toward the kitchen he barked once then twice lightly though at times he did this, on occasion as a means to get attention yet he was simply calling her to come and open the door so that he could see if this visitor, had any ill intentions to bring harm to them though he would not act unless he needed to and he was certain that Mara would do the same.
Once the door opened Mara would see a man dressed in what seemed to be a cloak underneath she would see a black dress shirt with black pants that, did not match a thick leather belt around his waist though from the left she would see the pommel of a sword as the man, standing before moved his hands up to remove the hood from his head with his features now revealed to her Mara would see a small scar upon his right cheek. Short dark brown hair atop his head and hazel blue eyes yet the man stood slightly taller than Rohan but he had the same build as him "Hello." he said, looking to her as his eyes also took note of the light blue dress which she wore as his gaze looked down to her right side and would see, the black furred dire wolf who glanced up at him a smile perched upon his lips as his eyes remained fixed upon the dire wolf. After a moment the man lowered down to one knee and his right arm moved out giving the dire wolf the option to approach, which Fenris did after some slight hesitation though as Fenris sniffed the man's hand to familiarize himself with his scent he felt, the man's other hand as it slowly moved along his black fur then a moment later the man moved his hand from the dire wolf.
The man moved both of his arms back to his sides as he began to stand back up to his full height once again as his hazel blue eyes looked back to the woman, while Fenris had moved away from the man and back inside of the cabin yet remained at Mara's side as the man nodded his head, toward her "I've been out in the cold with my horse for a while. Do you mind if I come in?" he asked raising a brow as the light smile remained.

She had just finished plating up the last bit of the eggs and was beginning to finish the bacon when she heard the knock. She had sensed someone approaching a while ago, but she didn't sense any danger so she let them come. Besides, she knew Fenris would protect them if they came with ill intent. She placed the bacon on the plate and blew out the flame on the stove as Fenris padded to the door and emitted a soft bark or two. "I'm coming." she spoke as she wiped her hands on a small towel.
She padded softly over to the door, her feet bare. In a soft movement she opened the door and saw the man standing there. Fenris by her side, she could feel his fur on her leg. "Can...I help you?" she asked the man softly. She took note of his attire and the horse. He knelt down and greeted the dire wolf who took his scent. Fenris didn't make any note of alarm about the strange man, so Mara trusted his judgment. The man asked if he could come in for a rest and she nodded. A little wary of the strange man. But her heart was kind. "Of course...I just finished cooking some breakfast. There's plenty." she stepped back a moment to allow the man to enter.
Once inside, the man would see boxes of scattered goods in various places. The place semi cleaned, although it looked like she stopped part way when the deliveries came. "Please excuse the mess, we just had a delivery and I have yet to find where to place them." she smiled softly. "Here...I'll get you a plate, could you please stamp out your boots on the porch?" she asked softly as she moved back to the kitchen. The hem of her dress swaying, barely touching her legs as she walked.

Once he heard her response telling him that of course that he could come in and that she had just finished cooking breakfast and that there was, plenty to go around a nod would be given shortly after she moved from the door to allow him to enter though when he heard speak of the boxes, she stated that they were from a recent delivery yet she had yet to find on where to place them. Just before he could enter the cabin the woman told him that she would get him a plate though when she, asked him if he could stamp out his boots on the porch he nodded before long and after doing as she had requested he entered. Upon entering and closing the door behind him the man began removing his cloaked, then after a moment he placed it to hang upon the hanger between the door and window though not long after turning around.
The man would hear the woman moving around in the kitchen his eyes looked to the various boxes some big and others not so big sitting around, "Thank you." he said to her as he moved toward the kitchen table and while looking between the nearby boxes he continued, "It's quite alright." he paused "I know how sorting deliveries can be." he added before walking over to the table. The smell of eggs and bacon lingered from the kitchen and throughout the cabin as his hazel blue eyes, focused upon the front door "Do you live here alone milady?" he asked though just before the man sat down in the chair, his right hand moved up to grasp the hilt of his sword removing it from the sheath and then moved the weapon itself. As the man placed it against the nearby wall.
Rohan's eyes opened after several minutes he yawned lightly as his vision was briefly blurred yet cleared within a few moments from there he stretched, his body for a moment then he shifted his body toward Mara's side of the bed his hand moving over to where she had laid at, though as he felt how cold it was a sigh escaped from his lips then after a moment a smile formed upon them. He figured that if she had went to sleep it wasn't for too long though he eventually smelled cooked eggs, and bacon which had lingered within the bedroom from the kitchen a smile formed upon his lips though before long, he sat upright in bed then after a moment Rohan shifted to allow his bare feet to lower down and onto the floor below. As his feet planted upon it firmly from there he stood up to his full height as he moved away from the bed after a few moments his hazel eyes, looked down to find his pants in the floor from there he leaned down to pick them up and before long Rohan's hands gripped the upper, hemline to pull the pants up to his waist though after buttoning the pants up as his eyes looked over to the nearby chair.
Finding his black shirt in it and yet after taking the shirt from the chair he moved the shirt up and pushed his arms into the sleeves then slipped it, over his head as his hands gripped the lower hemline of his shirt which he pulled down and over his muscular body though now, that he was fully dressed Rohan moved across the bedroom to the door and upon reaching it his right hand reached up to grasp the handle. Which his hand would turn before he pulled the door toward him and now with the door open he began by moving out, from the bedroom and into the hallway as his right hand reached back to close the door behind him a smile formed upon his lips, as he moved down the hallway though once he reached the living room the smile disappeared shortly after he turned to look toward the kitchen table. Those hazel eyes seeing a familiar face which he had not seen in well over twelve years sitting at the other end of it of the table. "What are you doing here." he said.
The man looked toward Rohan who had emerged from the hallway "Well hello to you too." the man began "Rohan." he paused, allowing his words to trail off. "My little brother." he added with a smile.

She placed a plate before him and began to dish him up some food when he asked if she lived their alone. "No, sir. I've only came here last night and only started to stay here." she smiled, blushing softly. She placed the pan down on the table and went to go fetch him some water. It was cold, it was from the snow, melted just recently. She watched him remove his sword and place it against the table. she was going to say something but Rohan emerged from the bedroom. Her blue eyes went to him and smiled softly.
She watched as Rohan paused as he noticed the man sitting at the table. "What are you doing here." he said. Then the man responded. "Well hello to you too." the man began "Rohan." he paused, allowing his words to trail off. "My little brother." he added with a smile.
Mara paused "What? He's your brother?" she was shocked. She couldn't believe it.

Once the plate had been set in front of him William continued looking to Rohan the smile ever present as he looked over the changes of his younger brother, before long he took hold of the fork upon the table and moved it onto the plate taking a small portion of eggs onto it and then moving them up for a bite after as he started chewing and then swallowed the eggs.
Rohan's hazel eyes looked to his brother while he heard Mara exclaim in surprise that the man was his brother a brief nod was given as he looked to Mara then back to William "Yes Mara." he paused "William is my older brother." he said, allowing his words to trail off "I don't know if you remember. But I told you about him in Jholton and how he left from my family all those years ago." he said.
William nodded and his hazel blue eyes looked back to Rohan whose eyes were upon him "Though we haven't seen one another in more than seventeen years." he said as he moved his free hand onto the plate to take a strip of bacon from it though he did not move it up to his mouth right away "You see I left our family to begin my own life. I was twenty while Rohan was twelve." he said "After five years of being away I met someone and married her. We later had two children together a boy and girl, though the girl was stillborn." he added as he moved the strip of bacon up to take bite from it. Though when he finished chewing and swallowing the bacon he looked to Mara "The eggs are good as is the bacon." he said with a smile before he moved the other half of bacon into his mouth to finish it off after a moment his gaze shifted toward Rohan "As for what I am doing here. I have news regarding our remaining family." he paused to give time for his brother to respond.
His eyes watching William as he ate a small portion of eggs and a strip of bacon from the plate that was set before him though when he heard him, speak about his leaving from their family and then the start of his own yet when he said the reason of his coming here was in regards to their, remaining family he was curious because he had not seen any of them since he was eighteen "Are they ok?" he asked raising a brow.
The smile disappeared from William's lips when Rohan asked if they were ok though he remained silent and set the fork down upon the plate both hands, moving down to lay flat upon the table as his hazel blue eyes closed and a mild sigh escaped from his lips "There was a horrible fire." he began, "That broke out at Uncle Marcus's manor." he said "No one knows how it happened." he paused to open his eyes to look across the table to Rohan. "Uncle Marcus and Aunt Elaina and their children, our brothers Jacob and Leon, Anna our sister and mother..." he stopped and went silent, for a moment "Their dead...All of them." he said as he lowered his head as a single tear streamed down is left cheek as his head raised up. William's eyes looked to his brother just before he moved his left hand up to wipe the tears from his face.
As Rohan looked to his brother he heard him speak of the reason that he was there as he explained that their uncle, aunt and cousins, brothers, sister and mother. That they had died in a horrible fire and though it took a moment Rohan's eyes looked over, to Mara and just as tears began to well up within them Rohan lowered then shook his head a sigh escaped from his lips a moment later. After a few moments his head raised yet tears remained within those hazel eyes as Rohan, looked over to Mara then not long after tears began to stream down his face.

She dished up Rohan's place as William began to talk. She stood beside Rohan listening to William. He explained that he left his family long ago. "Oh thats right. I remember that now.." she nodded, laying her hand upon Rohan's left shoulder. Then...William spoke of a fire.
"There was a horrible fire." he began, "That broke out at Uncle Marcus's manor." he said then "No one knows how it happened." he paused to open his eyes to look across the table to Rohan. "Uncle Marcus and Aunt Elaina and their children, our brothers Jacob and Leon, Anna our sister and mother..." he stopped and went silent, for a moment "Their dead...All of them." Her face blanked, and paled probably. Her hand tightened upon Rohan's shoulder as her hand went to cover her mouth. "Oh my...." she gasped as she looked to Rohan to see the tears coming from his eyes. "Oh my goodness...I'm so sorry...." she winced some, still in a little pain as she went and put her arms around Rohan to comfort him. After a moment or two, she let him go a little, knelt on the ground by his side. Her hand went up and dried his face from his tears.
"Thank you...William for coming here and letting him...us know..." she spoke looking to him, still knelt by Rohan's side. A soft grimace came as she moved alittle in discomfort. "I know there....is nothing I can do to help....my family is probably long gone.....so I know..." she paused, her own tears coming to her eyes.

William nodded to hearing Mara as she offered her condolences to them hazel blue eyes watching her as she consoled his younger brother yet when she, thanked him for coming to let them know about the deaths of their family he looked to her "There's more." he said just before taking in, another bite of eggs and bacon after a moment he looked up to Rohan after containing his tears. "Uncle Marcus created a will nine years ago." he paused allowing his words to trail off "I visited them shortly after it's creation." he said, "He showed me his will." his words trailed off briefly "Our names along with our mother's were on it. He made one copy and handed it to me." he paused. As he reached into the front pocket of his shirt to remove a parchment which upon being removed was unfolded from there, William raised and stood up from his chair briefly and set the parchment upon the table then he moved it across to Rohan.
After a moment he sat back within the chair his eyes watching Rohan as he gazed down at the parchment "Uncle Marcus loved our father and so he left us an inheritance of fifty thousand gold." he began, "As well as a small manor which was completed more than a year ago." he paused "I have seen it and it isn't very far from the capital here." he said. "I have moved my family there and I would like for you to be there with us." he paused, "Mara and even your dire wolf companion can come and live with us as well." he paused long enough to finish off the eggs and bacon. "Mother promised that we would all be together under one roof some day." he said "Though now that she is gone." he paused allowing his words to trail off, "I only want to keep her promise." he nodded briefly "Even your eight year old nephew Braden wants to meet his Uncle Rohan." he added with a smile.
Between reuniting with Mara one day earlier and then hearing of the deaths of their remaining family today his hazel eyes looked up from the parchment, long after Mara had dried the tears from his face as he looked over to William a smile formed upon his lips briefly when he stated that his son, wanted to meet him and that he wanted for them all to be under the same roof together as their mother had promised and that he wanted to keep her promise. "I would like that William I really would and the gold we could really use to...but." his voice trailed off as he turned his head, his eyes finding Mara's eyes while she knelt in the floor at his side Rohan's hand lightly grasping hers as he knew what he was going through, after hearing the bad news from his brother "What do you think we should do Mara?" he asked raising a brow.

She turned her head as William spoke telling them that there was more. He spoke of Uncle Marcus' will. Of how he created it nine years ago and that William had a copy. She nodded as she followed along, still staying by Rohan's side. He mentioned that he left a sum of fifty thousand gold inheritance and a manor for the entire family to live in. She gasped at the amount. He mentioned that it wasn't very far from the manor so it would be close by to the cabin in a sense.
William mentioned that his son would love to meet his uncle and even offered that Mara and Fenris would be welcome to live there too. She didn't even think of it at first, She just came back into Rohan's life. Her eyes swam as she took in this information. When Rohan took her hand into hers and asked for her input she paused. Taking his hand in hers as her blue eyes looked up to his hazel.
"You're right....we could use the money. Its your family and I know you want to see them. But do you want to live with them?" she reached up and carressed his cheek. "What does your heart tell you?" she asked softly. "Fifty Thousand gold....that is a lot of money..." she chuckled with a soft smile. "Im not sure we'll be able to spend all of that without being stupid and...well...tossing it aside." she chuckled a little. "It lays upon you, Rohan. This is your family....If you want to go with them and move into the manor...then we should.."

Hazel eyes continued looking within Mara's as he waited to hear her input on what they should do and though there was slight hesitance from her, she eventually responded by telling him that he was right that they could use the money and that it was his family and that she knew, that he wanted to see them though when she asked him if he wanted to live with them Rohan's head lowered. But when he felt her hand move up and caress his cheek Rohan raised his head, as those hazel eyes looked within hers as she asked him what his heart told him though he would hear her mention about the gold. As she stated how that it was a lot though a chuckle escaped from her lips as she continued, by saying that she was not sure if they would be able to spend it without being stupid and tossing it aside as she added that it was, his family and his decision to go be with them but the decision was his to make and that she would follow.
Rohan was in a minor conflict within his thoughts though not for very long as his eyes peered within Mara's having thought back on what she said, she was right whatever that he decided was his decision to make before long he moved his right hand up then, placed it atop hers which had remained upon his cheek "We have been alone from each other for far too long." he began. "Not only have you come back into my life." he paused to form a smile "As has my brother after so many years." he said, just before he turned his gaze toward his older brother "Fifty thousand gold is a lot and it could go along way if spent correctly." he said, as those hazel eyes looked within his "We have been away from each other for far too long." he paused allowing his words, to trail off "William...I believe that mother really would have wanted us under one roof." another tear streamed down his face. However he did not move his free hand up to wipe it away "I do want us to be a family." he said as his words, trailed off and his hand continued to hold Mara's hand while his eyes shifted looked back to Mara, "Yes." he said before nodding his head briefly "I would like to meet my nephew as well as my sister in law." he added with a smile.
While watching the interaction between Rohan and Mara he noticed a rather large scar upon the inside of his brother's right forearm noticing that it, had never fully healed eventually when he heard Rohan speak that he would like to meet Braden as well as his sister in law, a smile formed upon William's lips "Good." he paused to nod briefly before taking note of Rohan's tear. "That is what mother would have wanted." he said then after a few moments William stood, to his full height from there he moved around the table and stood in front of Rohan as his hazel blue eyes looked, between him and Mara "I am going to tell you something." he began yet allowed his word to trail off.
"Though it may come as a shock to you." he said "But I am a Lycanthrope." he paused allowing his words to trail off as his eyes shifted between Mara and Rohan. "I have been since the age of twenty four. My wife Emilia and Braden are as well though he has no idea." he paused, "Though he has not went through his first transformation." he said just before William moved his right hand up placing it upon Rohan's shoulder, "It seems that you and Mara may be as well." he paused once more "Though for how long I am not so sure." he added.

Stayed by his side, knelt beside him as she looked up to him with loving eyes. She listened to him speak, saw the dilemma in his eyes. Felt the hurt, his hurt deep with in her. After a moment of he accepted the offer and a smile came over her features as she went and wiped his falling tear for him. Her eyes never leaving his as he spoke to his brother. He spoke of meeting his nephew and his sister in law. She was happy. He had his family. Well, part of his family back. She wondered if one day, she will be reunited with hers.
His brother seemed happy with decision that Rohan had made. Then he spoke, "I am going to tell you something." he began yet allowed his word to trail off.
"Though it may come as a shock to you." he said "But I am a Lycanthrope." he paused allowing his words to trail off as his eyes shifted between Mara and Rohan. Her eyes turned from Rohan for the first time to William. "Thats why....Fenris allowed you to approach. You're just like us." she nodded understanding. Then he spoke that he knew that she was one too, but for how long he didn't know. She took a breath and stood up for the first time in a long while.
"My family...was natural born. My father's father.....father's father's before him was our first. He was bitten long ago....My mother's family was the same. It was kept a secret for so long. Our family was nobility, it was our families secret. When war came, my Father fought with viciousness. Only few knew his secret. But when our land was attacked....the enemy came prepared. Silver....we....we were betrayed." she hung her head looking to the floor boards.
She took a shakey breath, her hand coming up to brush her long blond hair back from her face. "We came to Jholton shortly after. Desitute....no longer noble...but commoners. We struggled to fit in. To go from riches to rags..." she chuckled a bit with a sad tone. "Before Jholton was....well...we were finally settling in...finally getting used to our new life...." She grew quiet then.

A brow perked when he heard from William that his wife and son including himself were Lycanthropes though he figured that Mara and himself were the same, as him though once Mara finished speaking Rohan looked over to his brother "I have been a Lycanthrope for four years now." he began, yet his words trailed off as he looked down to the floor "I had a family too." he said. "A lovely wife and two children." he paused "I lost them nearly three years ago." he said, shaking his head lightly "They were torn apart by Werewolves." he paused allowing his words to trail off once again. "I suppose that they were never able to attain their natural forms and due to that they had become savage beasts." he added.
Not long after revealing his affliction to them he heard Mara as she mentioned how Fenris had allowed him to approach him "Well that's partially true." he began, allowing his words to trail off "Though I think it may be because that my scent is nearly identical to Rohan's." he paused allowing, his words to trail off "Though certain generations within our family have a slight affinity toward certain animals." he added. Yet it wasn't long that after he spoke that she began telling him that she was born naturally, as a Lycanthrope as she stated that her great great grandfather on her mother's side of the family was the first of their bloodline from there, Mara continued telling him about her family and where they had come from though when she spoke of her father who fought in their former homeland he nodded.
However when she mentioned on when Jholton was attacked and he watched as she lowered her head, he sensed that perhaps she had lost her family, when they lived there as they had lost their father "I know how it is to lose loved ones." he said just before nodding his head lightly, "Our mother told me roughly eight years ago about the attack on Jholton and how our father stayed behind with several others." he paused. While his words trailed off once again William's hazel blue eyes looked between them "It is unfortunate." he said, then after a moment of silence William moved his hand from Rohan's shoulder "So tell me when did you want to leave?" he said just before, looking around to the small crates which were set about the room "The reason that I ask is I have a carriage that should be arriving here from the capital shortly." he paused. "I figured that I would plan ahead just in case that you decided to come back with me." he added.
Rohan's hand continued holding onto Mara's as he lowered it from his face "I suppose whenever." he paused to look to Mara briefly. "I believe that we have nothing left here." he said looking back to William "However I would like to keep some stuff here in case that Mara, Fenris and I want to come back to the capital." he said.
"I understand brother." he said yet paused briefly "Only take what you need though since most the food is still in these small crates. I would bring them along." he said "For now you two must eat you will need it for the Journey ahead." he added with a slight nod before moving back and around to sit down on the opposite side of the table.
Rohan nodded to hearing his brother watching him as he moved back to his side of the table before long he and did just that. After several minutes both the eggs and bacon were cleared from the plate that Mara had set before him.

Remained quiet for most of the remainder of the interaction between Rohan and his brother.There was so much to do and so little time to do it. As soon as Rohan finished his plate she took it and all the soiled dishes and began to wash the dishes. She wouldn't leave them behind. "We...need to get the window repaired eventually..." she spoke softly. She had to pause, a small pang of pain hit her for a moment but she pushed it from her mind. Rohan didn't need to worry about her when there was packing to be done.
After making sure the dishes and the food scraps were taken care of she began to gather what small items they needed. She would leave most of the clothes behind that was in the closet Rohan showed her. Only taking a few changes for the road ahead. Some light traveling clothes. "What of...the deer?" she asked softly about the deer she hunted the night before they reunited, then shook her head casting it from her mind. The deer would remain here, food for the animals outside perhaps. Such a waste. So much for her promise to the creature.
Her head was swimming. She had ventured into the bedroom to pack a few blankets and prepare some other stuff and she had to stop. Gripping upon the warddrobe for stability as she fought a wave of dizziness. She had yet to eat, with all the excitement. She doubted she would be able to. The anxiety of moving to a new place right when she had adjusted to being here was a little overwelming. Her eyes closed, heart rate rose slightly as she tried to control her breathing to calm herself. She wouldn't let Rohan see her this way. As always she would act strong before him. They didn't have time for this.

When he heard Mara speak from the kitchen as she washed the small amount of dirty dishes as she spoke about the window needing to be fixed, Rohan shifted those hazel blue eyes as he looked toward the kitchen "William and I will get that done." he said before turning to his, older brother "It shouldn't take too long." he paused allowing his words to trail off as the two watched Mara as she moved from the kitchen. After she made her way down the hallway and into the bedroom from where Rohan had, come from he turned to look to William "Come with me. I need your help to grab a few things." he said before standing to his feet.
From there the two brothers moved toward the room at the back of the cabin and upon reaching the room Rohan heard Mara asking about the deer, though he thought nothing of it as it had been sitting outside over night. From there he pointed toward the large piece of wood, leaning against the wall straight across from the door though the wood was big enough to cover, the window from the inside "You grab that." he paused "I will get the hammer and nails." he said just before moving into the room. Rohan moved toward the shelf at the far end of the room and upon approaching the shelf. One hand moved to grab a hammer while the other grabbed handful of nails from a small crate.
William nodded to hearing Rohan right after he had followed him to a room at the back of the cabin upon entering the room he moved, to pick up the wood that his brother pointed out to him though while his brother was busy getting the hammer and nails William moved, toward the door shifting with the wood so that he could walk out and through the door. "Am I going to the living room with this wood?" he asked as William stopped long enough to look back toward the room. While holding the wood up from the floor.
"Yes Take it to the window near the fireplace." he said before walking out from the room and through the door.
William nodded to hearing his brother and began moving into the living room carrying the wood toward the window that had a blanket over it, from there he aligned the wood up with the window and pressing his hands and body against it to hold it in place. While Rohan moved in with the hammer and nails.
After a few minutes of hammering and nailing the window was fixed Rohan turned his head and looked toward the bedroom "Window is fixed." he said, just before leaving the living room to return and set the hammer back on the shelf from where he had found it. After a moment he moved back into the living room not long after.

As William and Rohan did the repair to the window, she finished packing some of the packing in the bedroom. "Window is fixed." Rohan told her from the living room. "Alright." she responded and brought the clothes out into the living room just as he left to return the hammer. She felt a bit better now that it was repaired. Something told her, that they should try their best to keep the cabin in good condition, just in case....just in case.
She exhaled softly as she reached the hearth with the pictures upon the mantle. They were of his late wife and children and she frowned softly. Picking up a picture in her hands, her thumbs running on the frame as she stared into the eyes of the children; cut down way before their time. She felt tears coming to her eyes for a moment as she held the portrait close to her chest as she went to pick up the other portraits. Her arms full, she went to find a cloth to wrap them up in. She couldn't leave these behind. They were so important to Rohan's past. They were his life. She couldnt leave them behind to be forgotten as if they were nothing.

Not long after returning to the living room he turned just in time to see Mara moving from the hallway carrying more than a few framed pictures, when she took the picture down from the mantle over the fireplace he moved toward her and his right hand moved up to lightly, grasp her arm "Stop." he began his voice was calm as Rohan's eyes looked within hers though from looking within them he figured that, something was troubling her yet he would not inquire about it "Mara...I appreciate what you are doing." he said. As he moved his left hand up to touch upon her cheek "Though you don't have to bring them all." he paused, allowing his words to trail off as he looked down seeing seven framed pictures within her arms Rohan took his hand from her arm then, after a moment his hand moved down from her cheek while the other moved to take four of the framed pictures from her arms.
Those hazel eyes looked back up within her eyes once again "Bring a few of them with us and leave the others here." he added before moving, toward the fireplace from there he moved one up placing it on one end of the mantle then moved to place the other on the opposite end. From there he moved past Mara and William moving back toward the bedroom where he set, the remaining pictures upon the long dresser though now with that done Rohan moved out from the bedroom down the hallway, then back into the living room though not long after he heard the sound of a pair of horses approaching.
Upon hearing a pair of horses approach William opened the door to look out from it and he would see the carriage coming to a stop. "There's the carriage." he said as his hazel blue eyes watched as the slightly burly driver stepped down and started moving, to step up onto the porch and then toward the open door "Are you Mr. William Castleman?" he asked looking to the man standing, at the door "Yes I am." he said before nodding then moved from the door so that the man could enter.
"Knock the snow from your boots before you enter." he began "Once you are done with that you can start taking out some of the crates of food from the dining room and the kitchen." Rohan said. "Though make sure to leave a few here." he added.
The burly driver nodded to hearing both of the men and after knocking the snow from his boots he entered as both Rohan and William watched, the driver as he moved into the kitchen coming out not long after carrying two small crates of food as they watched him as he, carried them out from the cabin the burly driver would set the crates on top of the carriage and after two trips in and out from the cabin. The driver tied the crates down and then remained outside with the horses.
While the man was busy carrying the crates outside Rohan had turned back to head to the bedroom once there and after a few moments of putting on, then tying up his boots he moved to the bed and tied up the rather large sack of clothes that Mara had packed with their clothes, a moment later he began moving out of the bedroom and into the hallway with the sack draped over his back. From there he moved out the front door then off the porch and stepped down into the snow, as he moved to approach the carriage Rohan tossed the bag up on top of it after a moment he moved to climb up the back of the carriage and up to tie the bag, down with the rope the opposite ends of which were tied to the railings of the carriage. After a few moments and with the bag tied down. Rohan jumped down from the top of the carriage as his dark leather boots planted, hard in the snow which crunched, underneath his boots then after a moment he turned from the carriage and started moving the toward the cabin. "Fenris." he yelled then whistled.
Fenris had been awake since well after the first man had arrived as he sat in the living room though he had not moved from the spot where he had, slept earlier as he had watched Rohan and the other man as they boarded up the window not long after they finished he watched, as burly man entered the cabin though Fenris did not approach him as he watched the man carry out crates then would see Rohan carrying out a large sack. Not long after he heard Rohan calling his name and the dire wolf quickly stood up on all fours then moved toward the front door.
A few moments would pass and he would see Fenris step out from the front door "Come on your riding up front with the driver." he said, while moving toward the front of the carriage from where the burly driver sat.
Fenris moved on then off from the porch and moved toward Rohan while hearing him speak and stopped just beside him as he looked up, at the burly driver who back looked to him a smile upon his lips and as he lowered his hand and patted it upon the empty area, of the bench beside him "Come on it's ok." though hesitant at first Fenris leaped from the ground slightly and up onto the bench. After a moment the dire wolf sat on his hind legs as his curious yet calm eyes, looked to the driver then after another moment he turned his gaze from the driver and looked out ahead of them. Seeing the line of trees not too far in the distance.
After a moment Rohan looked to Fenris "We will be leaving in a few minutes." he said just before moving toward the shack at the back left side, of the cabin though not before looking to see another horse the same size as his but of a different color upon approaching and entering, the shack as he moved to grab Cornell's reins from there he guided his black steed out and toward the carriage to where he moved to the back. As he tied the reins to the small iron knob located at the back giving plenty of space and distance between Cornell and the carriage, "My horse is back there. Take it easy when we head out." he said while looking to the driver who nodded before Rohan moved up onto the porch.Though before entering he knocked the snow from his boots.

She let out a soft gasp in surprise as he gently took her arm, stopping her as she was picking up another picture. A look in her eyes, he would see worry, fear, concern and love. He spoke that she didn't need to bring them all as he touched her cheek which she leaned into. She smiled weakly and nodded "You're right...but....I couldn't just leave them here to be forgotten..." she spoke softly to him as he took some of the pictures back and began to replace them back onto the mantle. She watched him, her head turning slightly as the carriage approached.
The driver spoke to William, he was a bear of a man. He seemed nice. She began to help bring things to the carriage, the pictures in her hands first. She stepped up onto the side to tie some of the bundles to the sides of the carriage. She then heard Rohan whistle for Fenris and speak to him. She paused, watching the interaction between the two with a soft smile upon her lips. The bond between the two of them always made her smile. Soon, everything was ready.
Fenris jumped up onto the seat next to the driver. She moved over to greet the horse team pulling the carriage. The pair of horses was a beautiful set of creatures. One of the horses was a dappled grey gielding with one white eye and one dark. The other horse was a bay mare with a white streak down the front of her face and three white socks. The horses knickered at her approach, ears turning. She was sure they could sense what she was and was a little apprehensive. "Shhh..." she spoke softly, reaching to pet the muzzle of the bay, who moved her head back softly "I wont harm you.." she patted the mare softly. A soft tender moment. "Thank you for driving us to where we need to go. I'm sure you didn't have any say and I dont know how long you've worked today..." she spoke to both of the horses as if they could understand her. They both was listening to her now, ears forward. Attentive. The Dapple nodded his head as if in understanding.
Rohan spoke then, causing her to turn her head to hear his words. He was going to get his horse. She smiled still, returning her attention to the horses. They would be leaving soon. Another new start. Something she was anxious about. It was evident that she was nervous, Rohan had already noticed it before.

When it seemed that everything that they needed was carried out William retrieved his sword that had been leaning against the wall by the kitchen table, where it had been the entire time and after he strapped it back to the left side of his waist he moved across the floor toward the door, to retrieve his cloak which he quickly put on after a moment he walked out then through the open door and right after he closed the door behind him. William's hazel blue eyes looked upon the items loaded on the carriage he smiled before his eyes looked toward Rohan for a moment, then shifted them to look to Mara as he watched her as she patted the horses however his eyes shifted to look toward the back of the carriage, noticing the black horse that he had seen earlier before entering the cabin William walked across the porch as his dark leather boots moved down. The snow crunching underneath his boots as he moved toward the horse though instead of moving toward it fully he stopped a few feet, from it after a moment William turned to Rohan "If you it is alright with you brother." he began as he continued looking to his brother, "Can I take your horse with me?" he asked raising a brow after a moment his younger brother turned to look to him.
Before long William would see Rohan nod his head in agreement and with that William moved toward the horse as his hands moved to untie the reins, from the iron knob situated upon the back of the carriage from there more than a few clicks escaped from his lips before long, he guided the horse though once they reached the left side of the cabin where his own horse had remained this entire time the clicks stopped. From there with the reins in his left hand William moved toward and pulled himself up onto his horse, after a moment of situating himself he moved the reins and tied them to a small nub which adorned the top front of the saddle from there, his hands moved to grip the reins of his own horse and while looking forward he lightly nudged the heel of his boots into the sides of the horse.
Once the horses started to move he guided his horse so that they could go around and come out from the right side of the cabin. "Alright if you two have anything else from here that you need to get." he began as he and the horses moved ahead, of the carriage "I'd advise you to go and get it." he paused to pull back upon the reins causing his and Rohan's horse to come to a stop, William's hazel blue eyes looked to Mara "Once you have what you need and we leave from here." he paused. "We should be at the manor within two or three hours." he added.
Rohan had watched his brother after giving him consent to take his horse which he moved from the back of the carriage and led it away, toward the left of the side of the cabin though not long after he emerged from the opposite side with not only his horse but situated upon, the saddle of his own when he heard his brother speak he turned to look toward Mara who was fixated upon the pair of horses at the front of the carriage. he turned his head to see her bow and arrows sitting on the far left side of the porch which she would be able to see from where, she stood then after a moment Rohan shifted and turned from there he moved up onto the porch of the cabin though when he approached, the door he did not knock the snow from his boots instead he simply opened the door and moved inside. Though he would emerge a few moments later with his sheathed sword in hand.
From there he moved toward the carriage and opened the door seeing that the inside of the carriage had two seats and that dark curtains hung low, over each window within it after a moment he set his sheathed weapon against the inside wall by the carriage door from there, Rohan turned his head and his hazel eyes looked toward Mara as Rohan's hand held the carriage door open. While he simply waited for her to collect her bow and arrows and to enter the carriage before he did.
When they both entered then situated themselves within the carriage and the door closed the driver snapped the reins as the pair of horses began to move, pulling the carriage with them though William moved well ahead of them guiding Rohan's horse alongside his.

She stood there with the horses for a moment. Watching the interaction between the brothers. As William asked Rohan if he could use his horse she slowly moved from the horses sides, walking back to the cabin. Her arms held in front of her as she bit her lip. As William guided the horse around he spoke, . "Alright if you two have anything else from here that you need to get." he began as he and the horses moved ahead, of the carriage "I'd advise you to go and get it." he paused to pull back upon the reins causing his and Rohan's horse to come to a stop, William's hazel blue eyes looked to Mara "Once you have what you need and we leave from here." he paused. "We should be at the manor within two or three hours." he added. She nodded understanding. They would leave soon. Again, butterflies fluttered with in her stomach. That was when she noticed her bow and arrows on the front porch. She climbed the steps and retrieved them. Pausing once more to look into the cabin for the last time.
She lingered, looking within. A pang of sadness waved over her for a moment. Life had only just returned to the cabin, and now, it was over. She shook her head softly as she slowly closed the door. Hearing the soft click of latch, she let go of the knob. Only then she looked back, seeing Rohan holding the carriage door open for her. She offered a soft smile as she moved her bow over her shoulder and moving over to him. She offered him a brief kiss before she went inside the carriage. Her hands moving on the fabric of the seats. It was soft. Comfortable.

He watched while waiting on Mara though after a few moments more Rohan's hazel watched her as she moved from the pair of horses, as she moved toward the porch his form turning to watch her as she moved up onto it to collect her bow and arrows though on her way, back to the steps he watched as Mara stopped at the door and opened it from there he watched her as she looked within the cabin then after a few moments. She shut the door then set both the bow and arrows over her shoulder from there he watched as she turned around to look back, toward him as Rohan noticed the slight sadness upon her features though it quickly disappeared and a soft smile formed upon her lips, as she moved down the steps from the porch and her boots crunching upon the snow beneath her with each step that she made.
Once she finally approached him Rohan turned his form as she moved up and planted her lips upon his once she stepped up and inside, of the carriage a smile formed upon his lips as he looked to Mara once she was situated within it then after a moment, Rohan stepped up into the carriage closing the door behind him as he moved to take his place by Mara's side.
Shortly after the door was closed the carriage began to move though after some time of passing through and looking upon the various sites from the capital the carriage would finally turn onto a long path as the carriage passed a small series of trees before rounding to another path then after a few moments finally came to a stop.
After a moment from the carriage stopping Rohan looked out the window of the carriage door and would see William who was still upon his horse, as Rohan's hazel eyes continued looking out the window as a smile formed upon his lips just before he reached over to open the door.
"Welcome to your new home." he said with a smile as he looked toward both of them for a moment before turning with his steed and headed back toward the front of the carriage.
Those hazel eyes would shift as he turned to Mara as his left hand moved to take hold of her right giving it a slight squeeze for a moment before, releasing it from there he just stared at her "After you." he said with a smile. Once he released her hand and watched her as she stepped out, Rohan collected his sword from the wall to the left of the open carriage door and after retrieving it he stepped out from the carriage then closed the door behind him.
"Wow." he said as he looked upon the manor the stone was lightly tanned though it's structure was gothic in design his gaze shifted to Mara, though Rohan's hazel eyes were diverted toward the small set of stairs leading up to a single door which opened.
"Daddy. Your Back." the voice was that of an eight year old boy who made his way out from the door which he closed behind him, before he moved down the steps though once he reached the bottom the young boy stopped and peered upon the two standing, beside the carriage who were soon joined by a large black wolf. The little boy had short dark brown hair and hazel eyes he wore a dark blue and white vest buttoned up and over a long sleeve white shirt, black pants and dark brown boots.
The little boy looked between them before his hazel eyes stopped upon the man with the sheathed sword in hand though hesitant at first, as he moved toward them then stopped yet at the same time kept a small distance from them. "Are...Are you my Uncle Rohan?" he asked looking up to the man.
Those hazel eyes watched the boy studying his expression though the boy was slightly hesitant in his approach yet when he heard, the boy speak and asked him if he was his uncle from there lowered down to one knee then placed the sheathed sword upon, the ground though Rohan remained silent finally after a moment he finally responded "Yes...Braden." he paused. As his words trailed off "I am your Uncle Rohan." he added then nodded his head. From there he moved his arms up opening them wide slightly while looking to his nephew.
Once he had his question answered that the man was indeed his uncle Braden moved toward the man who had kneeled upon the ground, on one knee and his arms open as he quickly approached him and threw his arms up and around Rohan's neck and shoulders
After the momentary embrace between them Rohan watched as Braden moved back slightly then looked toward Mara as he heard him ask. "Who are you pretty lady in the blue dress?" from there he would turn to look to Mara and smiled though, yet Rohan said nothing so that Mara could introduce herself to his nephew.

She waited for Rohan to sit beside her before reaching out to take his hand in hers. Then she felt the lurch of the carriage as it started up. The quick was short. Most of it was herself feeling nervous. She hasn't seen his family since that night when Rohan and her seperated. She remembered him telling her of a brother, she assumed was William. But she had never met him prior today. After a moment, they came to a stop outside a beautiful manor.
The door to the carriage was opened, Rohan spoke his awe at the building as he exited first. She followed shortly after. A little boy came out. The little boy spoke to Rohan. "Are...Are you my Uncle Rohan?" he asked looking up to the man.
Those hazel eyes watched the boy studying his expression though the boy was slightly hesitant in his approach yet when he heard, the boy speak and asked him if he was his uncle from there lowered down to one knee then placed the sheathed sword upon, the ground though Rohan remained silent finally after a moment he finally responded "Yes...Braden." he paused. As his words trailed off "I am your Uncle Rohan." he added then nodded his head. From there he moved his arms up opening them wide slightly while looking to his nephew.
She smiled, watching the interaction between Rohan and his nephew. She stood back alittle as she let them meet each other. Eyes full of kindness and happiness at this meeting between the two family members. Then the boy looked at her. "Who are you pretty lady in the blue dress?" She looked to Rohan as he moved back a little to allow Mara to introduce herself. She smiled softly to the boy, knealing over a little "My name is Mara. I am an old friend of your Uncle Rohan's." she smiled softly, blushing lightly as her eyes left the little boy's and looked to Rohan as she mentioned his name. After a moment, her eyes went back to the boy. "Your name is Braden right? I am so glad to be meeting you."

A few minutes later he would return joining his son, brother and Mara in front of the manor "I've placed the horses in the stable." he began as William, looked to Rohan "There are a couple stable hands in there that will provide food and grooming for your horse." he said as he looked up toward, the front door of the manor seeing a few servants emerging from it as they moved down the steps while the the burly driver had stepped up to untie the ropes. As he began lowering the crates for the servants to take "Those crates go in the kitchen." William said just before each, crated was taken then carried up the steps and into the manor they would return and resume to collect the remaining crates, though once they reached the pictures and the large sack of clothes he spoke yet again. "Those pictures and that sack of clothes go in my brother's bedroom." he said before two servants grabbed each of them then were taken up the stairs and into the manor.
Those hazel eyes peered up at the lady in the light blue dress as he awaited her response and though it wouldn't take long when she told him, her name then he heard her as she told him that she was an old friend of his Uncle Rohan's and that she was so glad to be meeting him, a smile formed upon the little boy's lips as he nodded his head though after a moment Braden turned his head. As his eyes shifted toward the large black wolf who had remained at his uncle's left side though over time, Fenris slowly yet surely approached him yet the boy did not back away as he simply allowed the large black wolf to approach him as his left arm moved out, so that the wolf could smell his hand which Fenris did for a moment then before long he began wagging his tail happily as Braden felt the wolf's tongue. As it licked his hand which caused Braden to laugh and quickly pull his hand away.
After a moment of watching the interaction between Mara and his son to Fenris who sniffed then licked Braden's hand as he moved behind his son, while Fenris moved back to Rohan's side as he lightly placed his hands upon his son's shoulders while his eyes shifted between, Rohan and Mara as he spoke calmly "Come." he paused allowing his words to trail off. "Emilia is expecting to meet you." he said shortly after motioning the carriage driver to leave.
Rohan stood shortly after taking up his sword and simply slipped it up and over his shoulder so that the sheathed weapon laid across his back, from there he heard William speaking of his wife expecting to meet them as Rohan's hazel eyes shifted to watch Braden who broke away, from his older brother and moved toward him his eyes looked down at him watching as he raised his arms up. Though after a moment Rohan moved his arms down and his hands underneath the pits of, his nephew's arms to lift him off the ground from there he shifted his body and moved him up so that he could straddle upon his shoulders. After getting situated upon his shoulders Rohan's hands moved down to grab, onto his Braden's boots while he felt his nephew's hands to lightly upon each side of his head.
Though once William turned around and moved toward then up the steps Rohan's form turned to Mara a moment as Braden looked down to her, with a smile while situated upon his shoulders though Rohan would eventually do the same then with that he turned then started, moving up toward the steps moving up them and approached the front door which he walked toward. Though upon approaching the door Rohan lowered himself down just enough so that he could move into the manor with Braden.
