Hi, all -- Just wanted to give you an update on the status of the story.  I have had a really busy week, and now today is my birthday, my boss is coming to town tomorrow and Thursday, I leave for a friend's house on Friday, and I'll be out of town all next week on a business trip.  I will try to get an update finished before I leave for the trip, but if not, do not worry that I've given up on the story.  I won't leave you hanging. :)

Hey guys -- I am SO sorry I have been gone so long.  I thought it would just be for a week or so, but then after my birthday, my boss's visit and my visit to a friend, I had to move to a new house on short notice and I was the maid of honor in another friend's wedding.  And in the middle of all of that chaos, my mom, who had been sick for a while, took a turn for the worse and then passed away last month.  So needless to say I have not had much time or inclination for Sims stories. 

But I finally have my computer set up in my new house, and I finally have a bit of time to spare from all of the necessary family things that have been taking up my time.     Provided I can still find all of my old save files, and after I move some things from my laptop to my desktop computer, I will finally post the next chapter.  Provided, of course, that anyone is still interested in what happens to Jaffaran and Savna and their families.

Let me know if there are still any readers!  If so, I will forge on with the rest of the story.  Thanks, all, and apologies once again for disappearing.  Life intervened.

WHEW! OK. So after that last post, my laptop had a meltdown, and I had to reinstall Sims3 and all expansions, and all of my CC.  Then I had to find backups of the save files, reload them, rebuild some stuff and FINALLY, here is the next chapter.

Thanks, Gwendy and Magz for the kind replies earlier.

----------

Back at our home, Savna was becoming more and more forlorn as we had no word from her family, until word came one morning over breakfast -- a letter saying that Stellan would be coming with Lady Mara to meet Ajiana and to discuss the way forward between our families.  My father asked my brother what he thought of the message.

"I don't like that it's Stellan," Jaffaran said reluctantly.  "He's got a bad temper, and I'm sure he's been more affected by the root than Torin has.  But we need to meet with them.  And Lady Mara has always been reasonable, whenever I've seen her."

My father nodded in agreement. "I was hoping for Radal," he said with a frown. "I've known him a long time, and I think I would be able to reason with him in the right setting.  I'm not so familiar with his sons.  But this is a first step, and it may be our best chance at reconciliation. I'll go and write them back."



It was only a few days later that Stellan arrived with his mother and a small entourage of Pembina staff and servants on a bright clear morning. Our watchposts had reported that they were coming, and Savna paced anxiously at the top of the stairs until they came into the courtyard.  When she saw them, she abandoned all of the usual formality and just ran down the stairs to her mother's tearful embrace.



"Oh, my child... How I've missed you. How we've all missed you."  Lady Mara held tight to her daughter as Stellan slid down from his stallion's saddle.  His greeting was more sedate -- a nod to Savna, and another to my brother who had come down the steps with the rest of us. "Jaffaran," he said simply. "It seems I've been sent to broker some peace."



"We are pleased to hear that," said my father, striding forward to offer a hand to Savna's brother. "Though there may be several disagreements between us at present, there is no need for our houses to be at such odds with one another.  I can assure you that the den'Rhelys want to resolve these matters, and that I would personally welcome a reconciliation with your father. I tried to contact him may times, Lord Stellan... Lady Mara. I would gladly have come to you instead of you having to make such a long journey."



"My husband would not have allowed it," said Lady Mara, still holding her daughter's hands. "He can be very stubborn, as you know, Mithren. And he's very angry about all of this.  But you can make your formal explanations later, and you and Stellan can talk of disagreements and reconciliations later, and I will attend on my Lord Husband's behalf for whatever all of this diplomacy requires.  For now though -- please -- I am just a grandmother who wants to see her first grandchild."



Savna turned eagerly to my father to see what he would say, but I saw Jaffaran shift his wary gaze to my mother instead. She had been standing back from the conversation, observing Savna's mother and brother with narrow-eyed concentration, trying to sense any danger from the two of them.  As she noticed Jaffaran's raised eyebrow, she shook her head ever so slightly, and then changed her expression to a warm smile as she stepped forward with outstretched arms.  "Of course," she said to Lady Mara.  "You are very welcome to our home.  Let me take you inside to some comfortable rooms, and we'll bring Ajiana from her lessons. Let this be the first of many happy meetings."



My brother must have accepted my mother's reassurance, because I saw his tight shoulders relax as my parents escorted Lady Mara toward the house, calling for staff to bring her bags and some cool drinks to the lavender suite.  Savna turned to follow the two grandmothers toward the house, but Stellan called out to bring her back. "Savna -- wait. I've brought you something from home."  He was digging in an open-topped saddle bag, trying to pull something out with a delicate hand, but having an oddly difficult time about it. "Torin insisted. He said he was tired of being stuck with -- ow -- with feeding and cleaning up, but we both -- argh -- know he never actually did any of that. I'm sure he just thought you must -- OW! -- miss this little beast, and..."

"FARLI!" Savna figured out what was tormenting Stellan's poor fingers as soon as she heard the mewing coming from inside the bag.  At the sound of her voice, a golden-haired cat popped its head out and then jumped to her waiting hands.



She pulled it up to cuddle it against her cheek.  "Oh, Stellan, oh thank you. Thank you, thank you. I've missed him so much. Such a sweet little thing... Such a handsome Farli, all dressed up in his pretty new collar for the trip.  Did you miss me too? Such a happy little kitty. Who's my happy little kitty? Farli is! That's right!"



My brother looked perplexed, but affectionately amused as he watched his normally elegant wife babbling nonsense and cradling her cat like a long lost child. As she started apologizing to Farli for leaving him behind, and as the cat was rubbing its cheek against hers, Jaffaran turned to Stellan with a wry smile, and tried extending a hand once more. "Well, that went over well.  If only it were so easy for the rest of us to forgive and forget."

"I've brought her some other things," Stellan said coldly. "Books and jewelry and the like.  I assume you'll have someone take them inside?"

"Of course," Jaffaran said quietly, recognizing the rebuff for what it was, and accepting it in stride. "Let me show you to some rooms, and we'll bring your things in as well."  As the eldest son of the den'Rhelys, it would fall to him to see to the comforts of the eldest son of the Pembina.  And it was therefore bound to be an awkward few days if the two of them didn't find a way to get along. 



As for Savna, though, she couldn't have been happier.

Aw, so good to see you back! I teared up a bit at Savna's reunion with her mom. Well, I am glad to see that this wonderful story is continuing forward. Welcome back.

Re: Ajri's Ivory Shores: Chapter Twenty-Four - Building Blocks
« Reply #113 on: September 19, 2014, 12:47:16 AM »
As my mother and a group of staff led Lady Mara and her handmaidens down the halls to her chambers, Jaffaran and Savna headed down the breezy arched walkway to the classrooms and library.  As they approached the door, Jaffaran slowed. "Savna, wait.  I will have to go back to Stellan and my father after this.  But I need you to promise me you'll stay with Ajiana.  You can't leave her alone with your mother."

As Savna turned back, her head was tilted in confusion. "Of course I'll stay. But Jaff... She's my mother. What do you think would happen?"



"I don't know," Jaffaran admitted, with a small sad smile. "She never seemed as dangerous as Stellan or your father -- but I just don't know. I can't believe that whatever is behind the root wouldn't try to take advantage of this visit."  He put a comforting hand on Savna's arm, and kissed her briefly on the forehead as the palm leaves rustled around them, blown by the gentle, scented breeze from the coast. "It wouldn't be your mother who would do anything, Savna.  You have to remember that. Whatever evil it is that we're up against would just be using her.  Just like it was using your father.  And your brother," he added,his eyes sliding down to where two of our staff were leading the Pembina horses to the stables.  Stellan's black charger was pulling at the halter.  "If they will let us help them... If we can defeat it, they'll be free of it.  All of your family will."



Though Jaffaran watched with a wary eye as Ajiana made her formal greeting, he needn't have worried.  Lady Mara was delighted with the child from the moment she saw her, and seemed to want nothing more than the chance to be a doting grandmother.  He hovered long enough to make sure all was well, then made his excuses, pausing only to shoo the cat back into the room as it tried to dart out the door on his heels.



After the formalities were completed, Mara perched her granddaughter on her lap and unpacked a trunk full of gifts, including a folding table full of blocks and tools -- this one was painted in den'Rhelys blue and gold, but it was otherwise just like the one that Savna had practiced the first of her Pembina skills on so many years ago. Ajiana was delighted with the presents, but even more delighted with the chance to meet the other side of her family.  Eventually, after scores of questions were asked and answered, and stories told about Ajiana's aunts and uncles and cousins,  Savna and Mara settled in on the the couch with cups of floral tea.  Ajiana scooped up Farli and plopped him down on the activity table while she went to work with the blocks.



"Well he seems to be a kind man," Lady Mara said as she sipped from her cup.  "But tell me, child. Are you truly happy here?  You left so quickly, in the dead of the night, we never had a chance to talk. I never had a chance to really meet this man you ran away with."

They hadn't had a chance to talk because they had both been locked in their rooms -- Savna by force, and Lady Mara by choice.  But Savna steered the conversation away from those days, and told her mother instead about her sunny wedding, and the days that followed.  How she found our family to be warm and welcoming, and that we were all good people who only wanted the best for her and for everyone else. How she had fallen so deeply in love with Jaffaran, and how happy he made her.

"It's good to see you happy," Lady Mara said softly.  The faraway look in her daughter's eyes was all the more proof she needed to see. "And a mother in your own right," she added, reaching out to straighten one of Ajiana's hair ribbons. "I can't believe I'm a grandmother already! And to such a beautiful girl.  And is she... Does she do well in her classes?"



It was the same tentative inquiry made by various other elders of our family, and representatives of others.  Whenever they saw Ajiana for the first time, or heard that she was a product of two separate houses, they always found a way to politely ask if she was normal. As if they were expecting to find her defective in some way. The opposite was in fact true. 

"She does exceptionally well at her classes," Savna said proudly. "There are certain skills she's better at than others, but that's true of any child. Her teachers say she has great talent for some of the more difficult lessons they teach.  I'm not sure what all of it is," she continued, her cheeks flushing slightly pink.  "There's still a lot I don't understand.  But she understands, and that's what matters."

"Well, she is remarkable,"  Lady Mara replied. "But you musn't neglect her other studies. She is Pembina as well, you know, and...



"FARLI!"  Savna reached out to try to stop the little cat from swatting at her blocks, but it was too late.  One swat of his soft little paw, and the multicolored construction came tumbling down into pieces.  "Ohhh..." she moaned. "I was trying to build the tower."

Lady Mara stood up with a tolerant, kind smile, gathering her skirts in preparation to sit beside the girl. "Here, my darling, let me help you put those back together --OH!"



Before her grandmother could take a step forward, Ajiana twisted her fingers in well practiced motions, her hands forming the shapes of ancient glyphs in the air.  A crackle of blue light sent Farli jumping for the floor, and then the blocks reformed into a model of the ancient tower on the highest of the hills around our home.

"How did she-- what did she---"  Lady Mara put a hand to her face in shock.

Ajiana smiled in delight as she scrambled to her feet to show off her handiwork. "I fixed it, grandmother."

As Farli hissed from his hiding place beside the chair, Savna stood as well, smiling reassuringly. "It's what she does, Mother. It's who she is. She's both of us, Jaffaran and I. A magician and a builder, all in one."



In the meantime, Jaffaran had been in my father's study, trying to talk to Stellan.  But they had been going over and over the same points since the conversation started, and never making any progress.  Jaffaran had apologized for the way he'd left with Savna; my father had offered to go to the Peninsula to talk to Lord Radal directly; they had both tried explaining the basics of the evil that was lurking in the ruins.  And each time they made it through the litany of talking points, Stellan would steer them right back to the first one and the conversation would start again from the beginning.  It was maddening -- almost as though he were deliberately trying to keep the conversation going around in circles.



In fact, Jaffaran was about to confront the Pembina heir with that very suspicion when my mother interrupted, calling him out into the hall. "Stellan is distracting you," she confirmed. "We were right to be wary.  There is evil at work in this visit."

"You saw it?" My brother asked quietly. As part of our precautions while the Pembina were at our home, my mother and her sisters had been making use of her crystal viewing stone and other powerful spells to keep watch over our guests -- and to try to detect any possible treachery from the forces beyond the Gate. "You know what they're doing?"



"No," she admitted. "We can't see what they're planning.  We can only hear whispers, snippets.  That's how we know they're making use of Lord Stellan, and how we know that this visit is in fact the very danger we were concerned it would be.  But we're watching him too closely.  They need someone else to do... something."  There was a frustrated edge to her voice as she spoke in such general terms.  But finding facts with the seeing stone was like trying to find a single black marble in the dark -- in a bag of other marbles, using only your feet. I was terrible at it, but my mother and a few other scholars were able to pull some threads of knowledge from the orb. "We know it's another Pembina..." she started to explain.

Before she could say another word, Jaffaran had turned toward the courtyard, and the guest chambers beyond. "Lady Mara," he said, pulling away from my mother.   



"No," she replied with a shake of her head, reaching for my brother's sleeve to hold him back.  "I don't think so, Jaffaran.  It may be one of her handmaidens, or the young cousin who serves as Stellan's servant. There are many other Pembina here right now, and Lady Mara may be but another distraction.  'The little one,' they said. 'It's time for the little one.'"

Good. I mean it. I felt weird about leaving something so personal just . . . out there, so I redacted it. Sort of a privacy thing. I'm sure I can't be the only one who gets weirdly anxious and edits their own posts!  :P Now I'm just waiting for Aijana to go all evil or something. Unless you suddenly introduce another "little one."

Well, here we go.  Those of you who have made it through all of the set-up and meandering character stuff, and hung around while I disappeared for a couple of months, congratulations. ;) Big Stuff will finally happen.  Mwahahahaha.
 
---------------
 
As my mother and brother were speaking, three generations of Pembina women were completely oblivious to the tension in my father’s study.  The only one who seemed agitated was the cat, whose fur was still standing on end after Ajiana’s magic.  He bolted for the door as soon as it was opened by one of Lady Mara’s handmaidens, who had come to start preparing her bed.
 


“Farli, no!”  Ajiana nearly bowled the poor young servant over as she darted after the cat, hands out to try to catch his tail.
 
“Darling, don’t chase – oh, there she goes.” Savna sighed as the sound of her daughter’s sandals clattered away down the hall. “Off again like a wild pony. She’ll be up the towers and down the stairs, in and out of the stables and kitchens...”

“I remember another little girl who liked to run off into mischief,” Lady Mara noted with an indulgent smile, fussing affectionately with the patterned silk draped around Savna’s neck. “I remember despairing that she would never grow into a proper lady, nor stop running off.  But now here you are – a very proper lady indeed.”  Her smile faded a bit as she gave the silk one final pat into place, and she smiled bravely though she was blinking back tears.
 
“I haven’t run off,” Savna said quietly, taking hold of her mother’s hands as she finished the unspoken thought. “Not from you and not from home.  I want us all to be family – you and I, and Stellan and Jaffaran… father…”
 


 
Lady Mara nodded hopefully, but offered no other response as she wiped at the corner of her eye.
 
“All right,” Savna said, giving her mother a quick kiss on the cheek.  “You’re tired after your trip, I’m sure.  Sleep well tonight, and I will go and find Ajiana before she can get into any mischief.  And then tomorrow we’ll talk again.”
 

 
As she left her mother's chambers, Savna strode along after her daughter, following the directions from scholars and staff who had seen Ajiana run past.  “That way, my lady,” they said. Or, “She went through the arches. “Or, “She’s run off again, has she?  I saw her head for the stairs…”
 
So down the stairs she went, into the lowest hallways of the palace, past all of the guards, and past all of the unseen magical locks that would keep out any person not a member of our household.  Down to where the ornate carved marble and gilded window ledges gave way to simple brick walls and stone, and the bustle of the living and working quarters gave way to the quiet of a tomb. 



A cold breeze blew up from below, and Savna shivered as she stepped onto the silent bottom floor.  “Ajiana,” she called out, her voice coming as a whisper. “Janni!” she tried again, more loudly.  “I can hear you up ahead.  You know you’re not to be down here!”
 
As the echo of her voice faded, she heard a distant, higher pitched shout about the cat, and how it was still running away.
 
“It doesn’t matter, little one,”Savna called back, clinging to the wall. “Farli will find his way out when he wants to. It’s what cats do.  Come back now, Janni!” But she got no answer. She picked up the hem of her dress to hurry forward, sighing once more at her daughter’s tendency for mischief.
 

 
In my father’s study, Stellan reeled against the fireplace, his hands going to the brick to hold himself steady.  Voices echoed in his head, heard only to him, one atop the other.  "Do not let your sister interfere." "We are close, so close. “She will stop us." "Do not let her interfere."



He lurched back, running into my father, who had gone to aid him.  “Savna will not interfere,” he declared, seemingly to the air.  My father stepped back, confused by the words.  Stellan pushed him farther aside as he headed for the door.
 
"Stay where you are." My brother’s voice was commanding, and for a moment, it halted the Pembina heir’s stride.  “Savna won't interfere with what? Where?” He reached for Stellan’s shoulder, trying to force the man to meet his gaze.


 
“Jaffaran, wait,” my mother warned.  But her words were lost in the sound of rushing wind that tore through the study, blowing out the candles and putting out the fire.
 
When Stellan lifted his gaze in the sudden twilight, his eyes were changed.  They were black as the night without any stars -- black as the nothingness that was held behind the Gate.  When he spoke, it was with the sound of four voices in unison. "You are too late.  You cannot stop us. The little one is there."
 

 
“Stay back,” my mother called.  But the wind had receded, and Stellan had collapsed in the silence left behind.
 
Jaffaran was pacing, lost in thought, trying to puzzle through Stella’s words. “The little one,” he murmured to himself. “He said Savna. And the little…”  He looked up, suddenly alarmed.  “No.”

 

My mother’s eyes widened as well. “It can’t be,” she whispered.
 
“No,” my brother repeated. “No, no no…”  He ran for the door, yelling his daughter’s name.
 

 
“Ajiana!”  Savna finally caught up with her daughter, rounding the corner through an archway into an octagonal room. She stopped immediately as she came face to face with the Gate.
 


“Lady Savna,” greeted the scholar who had been standing watch.  It was my mother’s uncle Aiden, a wise and gifted man who had been one of the few trusted to monitor the gate during the Pembina’s visit.  “I think you’ve come looking for this?”  He patted Ajiana’s arm, and turned her to face her mother.
 
“Yes,” Savna said, tearing her eyes from the horrible black void.  “Y- yes, thank you.” She tried to smile as she stepped forward, but her hands were shaking, and her voice was shaking.  Every hair on the back of her neck was standing on end, and she wanted nothing more than to run from the room and never look back.  I knew the sensation well.  Most people could only face the Gate after extensive training. Some never could.  Savna reached for her daughter’s hand to try to pull her away. “I told you to stop. You're not to be in here! I'm sorry," she added to Uncle Aiden. "She was following the cat."
 
Aiden smiled, recognizing Savna’s discomfort for what it was.  He ruffled Ajiana’s hair and then ushered her forward.  "Not to worry.  She's an heir, after all, and she’s growing up quite nicely. She'll have my job down here soon enough."
 

 
Savna simply started backing toward the door. "We should go."
 
"Of course, my dear,” Aiden said kindly. “And as for you, young Lady, those cats can be mischievous creatures.  You would do well do remember to listen when your mother tells you to--" He stopped, his mouth hanging open in shock as something caught his eye.  He stared over Savna’s shoulder at the moon dial that bound the locks on the gate.  "Lady Savna!  Take the girl. GO!” He pushed them roughly toward the door.  “Get your husband. Warn the others! It's opening the--"
 

 
Aiden froze, as if turned to marble. Savna gasped and spun around to see what was happening. And there, projected from the bauble around Farli’s new collar, was a spectre of pure darkness.  Ghostly hands were turning the intricate spheres of the moon dial, the metal clicking and groaning as its mechanism spun in patterns not traveled for generations.
 
Savna looked down at her little cat, then up at the dark figure, terrified at what was happening, horrified at the unwitting part she had played, but powerless to stop it. The dark figure met her gaze with his unblinking, malevolent stare.  And smiled.

Aw, thanks, I'm glad someone's still interested.  I think I picked the wrong time to come back, with everyone all excited about Sims 4. :)

And I did sort of introduce a new "little one," after all... I just introduced him back in Chapter Twelve, and then tried to throw you all off the scent.  Cats. Can't trust them!
