[Sadira Reflov]

---

Sadira was unable to sleep. She carefully rose from the bed, ensuring she did not awaken Zarlox. She wrapped her robe about her and went into the adjoining room to the bedroom. She looked about the room and sighed. She decided that perhaps some tea would be good for her, so she went into the dining/kitchen area to get her some. Once her cup was warm and full, she made her way back to the sitting area. There she found a chair with a footstool. She settled herself down propping up her feet. She smiled as she gazed upon her swollen belly. At first her thoughts went to if it were a boy or girl. She realized that her and Zarlox had not choosen a name yet. It was then her thoughts went back to their earlier conversation.

She couldn't believe Zarlox wished to whisk her away, while Sanctus was at war. She knew something had happened. Perhaps the Lich Lord had made a threat against her. Once they arrived at their temporary home, was when Zarlox told her...Bailos was alive. She could almost feel the fear tighten its grip about her almost cutting off her air supply.

"Love, perhaps twas someone that just looked like him."

She said in hopes it could be possible. Zarlox shook his head.

"Nay love, it was his words. I know how he speaks, and it were his words."

Her eyes widen.

"You spoke to him!?"

Zarlox relieved her fear as he informed her it was a letter. It was sent to Talon, whom then shared it with Zarlox. She reached to caress his cheek.

"Was I mentioned in the letter?"

She asked even more worried. The thought of the bracelet that held her captive, the words inscripted upon it. Remember, you're mine always She shivered as that whole ordeal came to her mind. Zarlox told her that she was indirectly referred to, as it was for the whole Skyfire family.

"Love, perhaps he has forgotten about me. After all, I am no longer of importance, I do not hold any power as I had. When the city was under my rule, I had more weight. But now, I do not. I have nothing to offer him."

Zarlox shook his head.

"Love you have pull. Remember you are now a Princess. You are part of the royal family, so you have importance."

She sighes shaking her head.

"But I can nay give him what he wants. I do not have the power to give him the city, as I had done once before."

She felt, that Bailos has no use for her. She no longer held the most powerful seat within the kingdom. She was now a citizen of the kingdom. Though she was a princess but it was not by blood nor adoption as Zarlox had been. Her status was gained by marriage.

"Promise me love you will remain here. Just til we are sure it is safe. Please do not go near the bank. I have thought about this for sometime, in case such would come to be."

She looked at him looking confused. She had no coloring of Sanctus, she even took off the crown. She moved away what more was there?

"Love, the servants and guards I have hired. They believe I am an adventurer whom came into an inheritence, when my father, a rich merchant had passed. They believe my name to be Vian, and yours is Heather. We are Vian and Heather Visage."

Her eyes widen abit more. A new name???

"But love, I...I am unsure if I can do that. I have been Sadira for so long, I am afraid I may not remember. What if I messed up."

Zarlox had worry in his eyes.

"You can't love. Yours and the baby's safety is at stake. Please do not let anyone know of who you are or where you are from. Your name is Heather."

She nibbled her bottem lip and nodded.

"Aye love, Heather it is."

He then questioned her a few times to ensure she got the information right. He then told her that one person could know of her whereabouts. She pondered a moment.

"Ivory. I would feel more comfortable having her look after the me and the baby. She has been with us through out. I would feel safer and more comfortable."

He nodded.

"Then perhaps tomorrow I shall seek her and have her come. Meanwhile love, let us rest."

She agreed and they retired to bed after putting away her clothes.

Now here she sits gazing out the window of her new home. She was missing Sanctus, but she knew for the safety of their family, this is where she must remain. She took a sip of her tea and hoped to the virtues that Bailos would not beable to find her.
