Weather was starting to be colder; winter was hitting harder this year. The trip to warmer lands seemed less exciting as all the years in the past. Goosebumps on my arms, either the cold temperatures or something amiss with the family. Either way neither was a welcoming feeling. Both were COLD, the weather was cold and travelling home to check in with my family was even colder. Yet it had been quite some time since I had checked in and perhaps the warm fires inside the castle would toast me toes.
Life had always been tougher on me then my sisters, of course the oldest gets the blunt of everything, and stepping into the role of head of family was not a desire I had. My life had always been carefree and mischievous, settling down was out of the question at this point, I tried that once and it did not work so well, but I did get AnnaBeth from that experience of life. Love was just a word towards any other person in life, meaningless, unless it was about family, and I did love my family unconditionally and the love I had for my child was the greatest of all.
The tavern in Minoc was joyful this evening, men boosting to each other, kind of like who had the biggest, feet !
Finding an out of the way corner table, I make myself at home, kicking my uncomfortable shoes off under the table and scooting them under my dress tails so nobody saw me barefooted and hopefully nobody could smell my feet. Bathing in the rivers this time of year was out. Perhaps after a warm meal and an ale or two I would inquire of a room hopefully with a warm bath. Glancing at the empty table next to me I spied a newspaper, snatching it up I unfold it and begin to read. Front page headlines, "ELECTIONS", blinking and not really interested in who's the most popular in the Kingdom or who bought off who as most elections are, I continue reading, So as I began to read who was running where and who won what city, there was her name, my Sister, "Jaden Rain had been on the ballot in Britain" Shaking my head, I never understood her desire to do such a thing, who in their right mind would want that headache, I did not even bother to finish reading the story. Turning the page the next headline that caught my eye "Missing", as I began to read of missing people in the Kingdom only one name caught my attention, the name in the listing, Jaden Rain, skimming through the article, it was so confusing Toads, pirates, henchmen, Goblins and Doppelgangers.... tossing the paper on the floor I did not even wait on my dinner; I was out the door.....
