CHAPTER 102

I will tell Father that all the taxes are to be stopped and everyone who lost their home be given back their homes. It will take while to recover but we will make sure no family or person does without anything. And get the schools re opened. Yes, Brandon said I will make sure we start that I will put out orders to guards tomorrow. Nirka smiles it will take time and the people will need to know that under my rule they can trust the guards. Before I leave, I will gather all that we can and let them know that they can count on me to right all the wrongs. When are you planning on going, 3 or 4 days. I will talk to them just before I leave. We will get it done Ryan said. I will have some surprises for some of my faithful and loyal guards when I am reinstated. they finally came out of the forest into the field, the dragons were waiting for her. Nirka dismounted and went and gave each of them a kiss. Tanking them for their help. Lucy said it was a beautiful night and they were going to spend the night in the field. They wanted to see Sarah and father in the morning. If you need anything let me know Nirka told Lucy. When she got to the stairs of the cottage, she took two at a time throwing open the door she ran to her father, who had stood when she came in., he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tight. I’m so sorry…, Nirka put up her hand to his mouth dad I know it was not your fault. Your brother he asked her. she simply replied Dead. Good! Father said. Nirka smiled you don’t know the half of it she said to herself. She would never tell him that Trevor was behind Tod killing her mother, that would only hurt him more. Devon tapped her on the shoulder, you think I could get one of those he asked. She went into his waiting arms and held him close putting her head on his shoulder the silent tears finally started to fall. She made Devon just stand there and hold her for a long time. He linked her, its ok love, cry it out I understand she answered him saying I will tell you it all when we are alone it is worse than I had ever imagined. Ryan and Gwen went to get Sarah, Peter, Jenny Issabel and Peter’s wife. Brandon went to father and hugged him. Brandon asked him if he wanted another glass of whiskey, but father said no just coffee. Comin up Brandon said and went into the kitchen to heat the water. Ryan had just come threw the woods with everyone when Father saw Sarah he started to cry, he was so happy she was ok. Sarah ran to her grandfather and hugged him. Nirka was cuddled up on Devon knee now on the couch, she said to Sarah take your brother and his wife to meet the dragons. They are in the field. Sarah got so excited she practically dragged them out the front of the cottage. Everyone was now laughing. Father said to Nirka she sure looks like you now, as I did mother at her age. When did she have her awaking Father asked. Just yesterday Nirka told him we made her birthday special. We held off going after Trevor for a day so her awaking would not be tarnished by the war against Trevor. They could hear the three outside getting very excited about the dragons, Nirka got up and looked outside just in time to see the three dragons take off each having one on them for a ride. Nirka smiled and Jenny handed her a goblet and told her to drink. Peter and his wife would be staying at the cottage with the dogs while they were gone. Brandon and Jenny insisted that they be allowed to come along. Brandon decided to have Joel and Susan also come along. They still had enemies in the human world, and they were not safe to travel unprotected. Brandon would not let her say no, Nirka agreed but only because they were taking Sarah with them. Nirka wanted this to be a fun vacation for them and a Sarah as well as a learning experience for her. Nirka it is time Jenny said from the closed drapes, Brandon is announcing you. Nirka took a deep breath, she hoped they did not hate her for being gone so long. She stood beside Jenny waiting for her que. Brandon said into the microphone, Father, council members and all residents of the realm who have gathered here today I present to you Mother. Nirka stepped out from the drapes. There were hoots and hollers screams of joy. Nirka stood silently letting them express their feelings. Brandon went down on one knee if front of Nirka and said Mother, then every single person young and old as far as you could see all together did the same including her father. Nirka raised her hand for them to stand and everyone stood quietly waiting for her to speak. Thank you everyone, I wish to ask if you will forgive me for being away for so long.? Will you accept me back as Mother again. everyone yelled yes at the same time. She smiled I will with the help of my loyal guards restore the realm back to its glory. As you can see I’m not dressed in any fancy dress or have any fancy jewellery on except my wedding ring. I from now on will always dress like this I don’t want to be put on a pedestal I am an equal to you all. I will be going away for a fortnight. You will be in good hands with Father, I hope you can give him a chance to prove himself to you all. Yes Mother. Everyone shouted. I will be taking my family and going and visiting family in the human world and see what damage has been done since the gateway was closed. I am still dedicated to saving the humans and in turn saving our selves. She said thank you to everyone, bowed and turned to leave when everyone for as far as the eye could see knelt until she was behind the drape. Then everyone could be heard celebrating. Shall we go to the cottage and get this adventure started Brandon asked, Nirka took Devons hand and said yes, I think we should, they all climbed into the wagon except farther and when everyone was seated Brandon got the horses going onto the trail that would eventually get them to the cottage.
