Artemis

Artemis smiles while lifting her eyes from the young babies at her feet. Goliath curled behind Mira's back to keep her supported while Vatalanie does the same for Prince Liam. Casden and Analee are taking a stroll in the back garden while Navene chases the princess making her giggle sound like music in wind. Caspian sitting on the ground next to the beautiful new babies gently rubbing his son's head and smiling upon him. Artemis stands up from the bench looking to the heavens. A dark figure coming closer to them making Artemis' smile become wider. She steps away making Caspian's eyes snap up to her.

His eyes landing on the fully grown dark creature that has come to visit often. He turns his attention back to the babies as the raven wings flap making the wind whip around them. Artemis walks to him before bowing as her friend chuffles at her. Lifting her body back up she quickly races to the creature to embrace in a comforting embrace. Kaleo's head curling to engulf her without hurting his little silver savior. Her delicate hands running over the rough scales causing Kaleo to close his eyes.

Another thud beside him makes her release him turning to see the silver dragon has grown equally in size. She now appears to be about the size of a small bungalow. Her piercing gaze making Artemis lock silver with blue. After a minute of a staring contest, Aneesa chuffles similar to her brother which leads Artemis to throw her arms around the dragon's neck as well. The dragon winces slightly but still curls around the silver beauty. Artemis pulls away about to question but Kaleo interrupts her thoughts.

Our savior, it appears we have someone to meet

Artemis turns around smiling gently towards her son who currently was lifted in the air by her loving husband. Vatalanie watching closing ready if he was to fall. Mira making grabby hands wanting in on the fun. Her feet taking her to the young beautiful girl to pick her up. The silver irises locking onto Artemis who pulls her to her chest. Mira rest her head among her chest.

"Come my king"

Artemis turns back around with Caspian following her with Liam in his arms. The wolves walking next to them. Casden, Analee, Cass, and Navene walking out of the maze to see who has arrived. Analee grabs her chest feeling the wind knock out of her again. It never seems to come easy to see these beautiful large yet terrify creatures within the castle walls. Soft lips press to her head make her release her breath. Casden guides his frozen wife over to previously occupied bench. Navene gets tugged to go meet the dragons. He smiles at Cass' childish behavior as he stumbles over his feet.

Kaleo can't help but smile down at the babies. One having a head of dark hair but the eyes resembling so much of his friend. The other babe having silver streams upon his head but the eyes are a vibrant blue. They almost appear to match his own. Leaning forward slightly to get a better look. His eyes go wide when a blue bubble appears out of thin air encasing not only the young babe but also the man carrier him.

Aneesa pulls back in surprise while Artemis smiles leaning towards her son. Placing her forehead to his, the young lad relaxes at her touch allowing the barrier to dissipate. Kaleo attempts again to lean forward sniffing the baby. Liam reaches up to touch the dragon causing a surge of electric to zap Kaleo's nose.

He is learning fast Artemis... How old is he?

He recently turned three months

It was true, it has been over two months since Caspian and Artemis were crowned rulers of Tesalee. During this time, the kingdom has prospered and began trading more with surrounding kingdoms. The other kingdoms royals coming to visit, hearing vast stories of the royal couple of Tesalee. Caspian has become the king that his father always knew he could be and he was right... Artemis at his side has made him a strong and fair leader. The beauty taking on the role gracefully with the wisdom given by Analee. Navene now taking over the liberty of caring for the pack. Cassandra happily to run wild in the woods beyond the gates with her best friend at her side.

Analee and Casden have been around to guide when needed but have truly taken to enjoying the solitary life with their new princess. Little Mira's eyes still holding the color of her godmother's. Analee couldn't be more proud of this fact. She still believes Artemis to be a goddess sent down for her son... Caspian believing the same. He still continues to dote on her like the true queen she is. Artemis and his relationship solid as rock to any who look upon them. They rule together in all aspects and make decisions together.

Kaleo then turns his attention to the little beauty within Artemis' arms. The baby looking curiously to the large creature. Artemis can sense that Mira is only curious and not scared such as their son was.

You have had two Artemis?

No... This beauty is Caspian's sister. Not our child...

She appears to be gifted with your eyes

Glancing down into her arms she smile nodding to Aneesa's comment.

She was born with my eyes. We believe it is due to her difficulties during birth.

"Artemis, she is hurt"

Artemis eyes widen at Navene's statement. Her eyes following to where he is pointing on Aneesa's neck. A cut on her neck, not to deep but enough to hurt. The markings appear to be from a bad landing, possibly scraping branches on the way down. She steps with Mira still in her arms to the side getting a closer look.

It is nothing Artemis, just a disagreement with a tree

Artemis rolls her eyes but stops when she notices Mira's arm coming out towards the wound. She steps closer allowing the baby to touch the dragon. All eyes are upon the baby with breaths being held. Casden and Analee have since joined the rest of the group by the dragons. Aneesa particularly interested to see what occurs with her daughter.

Mira sees the redness standing out against the silver surface. Intrigued she reaches out to touch it. Her skin buzzing when she touches the surface and watches on as the red seems to disappear amongst the silver. The little girl blinking multiple times before feeling her body being pulled back and turned appearing up into silver.

Artemis smiles down with watery eyes at the young girl who has been gifted the same as her. Feeling of a hand on her shoulder makes her attention turn to a teary eye Analee. The queen giving a wobbly smile full of adoration before looking down to her daughter. The silver eyes dulling from the brightness they were a moment ago.

Caspian and the family all hugging and rejoicing while Aneesa chuffles and leans towards the young babe that took away her pain. She will truly be gifted such as her godmother...

This moment being one of pure bliss. One all will cherish even when the time passes. For within the Kingdom of Tesalee, they have found their protector, their savior... their true queen.
