[Lady Annawen]

---

Annawen sat in her office and read over more of the paperwork from the past week,"momma...,"her eldest son said as he called from the door,"yes Sashi what is it..,"he said as he stepped inside and moved around to stand next to her,"I had a dream about Poppa...,"he said causing Annawen to look at him quickly,"tell me what did you see..?,"she asked as she sat back and looked to him.

"He is coming home soon momma...,"he said as Annawen's eyes began to fill with tears,"I do hope you are right Sashi...,"she said as she looked away from the young boy who was now sitting on her lap,"don't cry momma please...poppa is coming home...,"he said as Annawen hugged him gently,"go find your sisters and brother..tell them they need to wash up for dinner...,"she said as Sashi slid from her lap and moved off to do as she asked.

Watching her son leave she took a deep breathe and moved to the huge window that overlooked the garden,"my love...,"she whispered to herself as she watched the cranes feeding from the pond.

"Anna...."

Hearing a voice she looked around half expecting to see her cousin or Miyu standing behind her,her face paling when no one was visible,"Whose there...?,"she called out as she turned around and placed her back against the glass.

"Anna...my Tejinashi-ryuu.."

Annawen stood for a moment,tears streaming down her face,"Ashi....,"she whispered as she lifted her hand up and grasped the Pendent he had given her the night the twins had been born.

"I am coming home to you my love.."

Hearing those words Annawen sank to her knees in tears,praying that at last her Samurai would return home to her.
