New Kingdom

Cirdan started to cry loudly. "Keiko! he's your brother!" Rai said, almost yelling, as he pulled his Son's hand from his Daughter's mouth, noticing blood and fang marks. "Oh my..She has her fangs already?!" he then looked at Keiko, Cirdan's blood running down her chin slightly. "Oh yay..she's tasted blood..Damn, this is probibly gonna be hell" Raito said, thinking about what she might do, If she liked the taste of blood like her wolven part, she might go crazed for it. However If larien's side kicked in, everything might be fine.

Larien picked Cirdan up wrapping a bandage around his hand. She kissed it lightly and looked down at Keiko. Keiko whimpered slightly reaching up towards Rai and began crying. "I think she's okay," The princess said. "She would've went after her brother instead of you if that side was going to kick in."

"Yeah. I think your right.." Raito said, picking Up keiko and whipin the blood off of her chin. "dont bite anyone again got it?" Rai said looking his daughter in the eyes. Cirdan looked horrified at his sister, wondering what had just happened.

Larien rubbed Cirdan's head. "It's okay," she said quietly. "Just don't grab sissy's ears." Keiko's wolf ears twitched.

Cirdan nuzzled against Larien, Hoping it wouldent happen again. "Aww..Look Keiko, You scared him, appologise" Rai said, holding Keiko up to cirdan

Keiko crossed her arms in a pout and Larien held Cirdan up to her. "Go on, sweetie," She said. "Make nice with your brother. Do it for Daddy?"

Cirdan squirmed in Larien's arms terrified of his sister at the moment. "Keiko..."

Keiko pouted and then patted Cirdan's head lightly with her hand, her ears twitching. "There see," Larien said. "She's sorry, she didn't mean to hurt you."

Cirdan cringed as Keiko patted his head. then relaxed. "there see, now was that so hard Keiko?" Raito laughed slightly, turning keiko around so he could look at her.

Keiko pouted, crossing her arms again. "Oh you'll live silly girl," Larien said holding Cirdan. "You can carry her but once we get to the stairs we have to switch. Father will be inside soon."

"Right" Raito said as he held Keiko closer, while Cirdan almost dozed off In Larien's arms "Ladies First" the hybrid chuckled

Larien giggled shaking Cirdan slightly. "Come on sleepy head," she said. "Stay awake long enough to see your grandfather." She smiled as she walked down the corridor.

Raito Followed her, Keiko still in his arms. "so..is this just going to be a formal meeting or something?" Raito said, Cirdan woke up slightly shocked by the shaking, looking around to find the source.

"Yes," Larien said as she cradled Cirdan. "Father has brought the other two elven kings with him.." She sighed. "They're going to try and make me chose today. They'll be staying here to decide which village we're fit for." She stopped half way to the stairs watching her father walk inside.

"so we have to swich now?" Raito said, seeing the king. Cirdan looked down, seeing his grandfather for the first time.

Larien nodded, turning to him. Keiko placed her small hands on the banster looking down at her grandfather.

"alright Keiko, Time to go to Mommy." Raito said, reluctantly placing his daughter in his wife's arms. Cirdan looked alittle mad that Keiko was now in his space

"Oh you'll live," Larien teased Cirdan kissing his head before she walked down the stairs. The servants and guests alike seemed to have frozen, looking at the stairs as the new royal family made their way down to greet the King. Larien was used to this but worried how Rai would handle it

Rai tried his best to keep calm, however, his ears kept twitching around wildly "Im kinda nervous." he said, opening up the mind link, he hadent used telephaty in a while so it sounded like a cell phone going through a tunnle. Cirdan looked around at all the people, amazed that they existed

I know, Larien said slightly glancing back at him. I hate to say it but you will have to get used to this as will the kids. She smiled reaching the bottom as her father approached her. She curstied, bowing to her father.

'I know. I just wish this wasnt so hard, He must be one heck of a warrior...' Rai thought, bowing to his father in law. Cirdan looked up at the king.

The king smiled looked down at his daughter and granddaughter. He placed his hand gently on Keiko's cheek under her chin. When she giggled, Torin burst into laughter.

"wow..Your dad has a soft side Larien..I didnt know that.." Rai thought, simply amazed. Cirdan watched Torin, his fears put aside and he giggled quietly.

PRetty amazing huh Larien smiled as her father looked down at Cirdan. He laughed. "My grandson looks more like my daughter!" He said with excitement. "Through generations the girls have always looked like their mothers, but finally a boy!"

"R.Really??" Raito said, looking down at Cirdan, who smiled, looking up at the king and the prince. Rai almost cringed as Torin laughed, It was incredibly strange, but he resisted the urge to twitch.
