Re: Teaghlach
The trip to Ireland had been fraught with tension and familial drama. To say it had not been the ideal reunion would be a massive understatement. Still, Erolith couldn't help but feel a strong sense of joy at the whole thing. His daughter had returned home. He got to see her all grown up, confident,...

Re: Teaghlach
Sleep came easily for the last Ontari. But it did not stay long. After scarcely a few hours of deep, dreamless sleep, Alexia’s eyes simply opened and refused to shut again. In the feeble hope that she could fall back asleep, she stayed motionless within Danny’s arms, and, although his embrace brough...

Re: Teaghlach
Things were awkward around the Longbow home. Alexia hardly left the 'guest' room after the talk she and Ero had. It was only after nearly a full ten hours, and at Danny's gentle urging, that she finally ventured out, if only to ease the look of concern on his handsome face. When she finally left the...

Re: Teaghlach
Danny and Erolith arrived not a moment too soon as mother and daughter were shouting at each other. Angry voices filtered out from within the farmhouse, muffled by the heavy wooden door. It seemed all hell had broken loose in their absence. Exchanging a worried glance, Danny and Ero pushed into the ...

Re: Teaghlach
Milisindiel Longbow wrenched open the door to the quaint little cottage and held it as Alexia, Erolith, and Danny silently filed in. With one last glance around and a quickly uttered modification to her cloaking spell to doubly conceal their vehicle, she, too, slipped inside and quietly shut and loc...

Re: Teaghlach
The further away from the city they got, the greener and more lush the country became. It really was a beautiful place, seemingly unmarred by the footprint of the modern world. Danny focused on the road ahead as they drove in silence. Following the curved road, the shores of Leogh Neagh eventually c...

Re: Reunions
Most of the rest of that day was spent cleaning up what little clutter remained from the end of the night. Little by little, the family parted ways. Ginny and Michelle left first, followed by Bill and Rose with the kids. All that remained to finish closing the place up were Gerry, Kara, Danny and Al...

Re: Reunions
Sunlight peeked in through the blinds, casting its glow across Danny's face. His water/alcohol/water balancing act fended away whatever hangover he probably SHOULD have had, but the haze of sleep still clung for dear life behind those green eyes. His face scrunched up unfavorably as he turned away, ...

Re: Reunions
Alexia had a fan. There was no denying the admiration and infatuation in Nasya's ice-blue eyes when she looked at the fae. She shadowed her all day, striving always to keep her attention and get the wild haired brunette to play with her. Who could blame the kid? She was a little girl who had her ver...

Re: Reunions
Nasya had been very patient. She had been patient all day. From the moment she woke up, she was steered and redirected again and again. Nearly all the other adults firmly suggested she give Alexia some breathing room even though Alexia herself had asked for no such thing. Something Nasya found both ...

Re: Reunions
he first two evenings involved late nights out by the small bonfire, snuggled up next to Danny with Gerry and Kara. Ginny and Michelle joined them the first night, but a few too many drinks the night before had her absolutely beat. Danny was still asleep when Alexia woke, leaving her to wander the c...

Re: Reunions
Alexia would find the Cabin a constant source of activity during the day. Card games, board games, hikes, fishing, darts. Nasya insisted on playing any game she could with her new Fae friend. The little girl even fashioned herself a set of makeshift faerie wings out of some sticks and leaves she fou...

Re: Reunions
As soon as everyone was settled in, Kara made the executive decision to spearhead the grocery run, insisting that Alexia join her on the trip. They piled in the SUV and, immediately, Kara rolled down the windows. The quiet, lonely road was flanked on both sides by dense acres and acres of trees as f...

Re: Reunions
The Finnegans’ lakehouse was a beautiful 5 bedroom, two story cabin facing out onto the lake. A long deck stretched out over the slight hill leading up from the waterfront. A firepit sat a little ways to the right and had seen many a fourth of July party over the years. The property was surrounded b...
