Standing up she leads you from the kitchen into a small room, in the room has one window on the right wall, and a small crib, apparantly only a temporary visiting nursery, for the room isn't decorated at all. Poldara walks over to the crib and picks up a very tiny several month old babe,"My moir says that she's small because of her mother. She's going to be like me, and not tall like her father. Aelfwynn says that she was only born a month premature, and that she is just small naturally, nothing is wrong with her."

She holds out to you a tiny child, looking like she was just born, besides that her eyes are open and alert. A stunning green that you recognize in her mother's, mixed with another green that you don't recognize. "She has both mine and my husband's eyes,"Poldara explains, "And she gets her hair from her father too."

She twirls a finger around a piece of Alana's black, curly, silk-fine hair. Her skin is a pure white, just like her mother's, she explains softly again, "She's going to be a great beauty when she grows up."

Turning around she kisses her daughters forehead, then sets Alana back down in her crib."Would you like to meet my son too?"
