Sadira's soft green eyes gaze along the walls of their home. It feels like its been years since she last step foot on the soil of Sanctus. As she walks along her finger lightly glides along one of the bookshelves, shaking her head as she notices the small film of dust on the tip.

"Well I guess I know the first thing to be done, after unpacking"

She moves quickly up the steps to their bedroom. She had told Zarlox to go on and do what he needed, she would unpack and get things settled up. She had heard of so many new recruits, new citizens. The thoughts of even the older ones, that she didn't get to know that well. As she moved about unpacking and cleaning, an idea came to her. Perhaps a nice dinner, to meet the new faces, become reaquainted with old friends and family. Just as she became lost in that thought she heard a cry that nearly pierced her eardrum, with a fear in her eyes, she quickly makes her way to the window. Once her eyes set upon the creator of that sound, she sighs with relief. Her daughter, who wants to so fancy herself in the role of her father and brother, had killed a very nosey vampire bat. She opens the window and yells out.

"Ronia Maria Skyfire! Get in here and help me with unpacking and cleaning!"

Ronia, eyes deadset of her fathers looks up at her mother, her face forming into a frown pout, that Sadira has seen many times before, she could see her daughters mouth moving in a grumbling. Sadira could not help but smile, that would form slowly into a small sad frown. Where was her son? What could have happened to him. Taking in a deep breath, she clutched at her chest, turning around slowly looking upon their bed. Now they have returned, will they nightmares continue to stay at bay, or will they return once again. She could not help but let her mind wander, was Bailos still around? She quickly wrapped her arms about her as her body shivers from the memories. Only did Ronia's voice break her mothers trance with a slight moaning huffy tone.

"alright mom Where do you WANT me to start"

Sadira looked over at her daughter, whose dress was splattered with blood, shaking her head closing her eyes, not wanting to see blood already...so early in their return.

"A bath for you for starters"

Sadira says as she makes her way down the stairs to start working on doing the dinner and leaving her daughter to clean up.

The cleaning and unpacking had gone well. Sadira's home began to look lived in once again as objects started to find their place and dust bunnies were in full retreat.

Sadira heads into the washroom to tidy up before dinner after another afternoon's work to make a warm and welcoming home. Rinsing her hands in the wash basin, she reaches for the towel to dry off and notices a polished, verite hand-mirror sitting rather awkwardly near the basin. Everything went numb as she instinctively reached for the out of place mirror. She cautiously places her hand on the handle and she can feel her heart sink as she brings it nearer and looks closer. The quality of the craftmanship, the flawless metal-work...this was done by a familiar hand. She turns the mirror over and examines the entirety of the object.

As she turns over the mirror side the evening light coming from the window catches the face and flashes brightly before turning slightly more and picking up her reflection. As Sadira locks eyes with herself an ear-splitting scream of pain and agony erupts from what feels like inches away from her ears! Startled and frightened she instinctively lets go of the mirror and steps back until her back is flush against the nearest wall. The mirror falls helplessly to the floor and shatters. The screaming stops. She is alone. You know what they say about breaking mirrors...

Sadira locked the bathroom door and wouldn't allow her daughter to enter the room. How long had that mirror been there? Her soft green eyes looks about frantically in their house as if she was expecting him to walk out of a shadowy corner. Sadira trying to keep her nerves at bay, as she went do work on dinner, though something in her eyes couldn't be hidden..especially not from her husband. She worked on anything to keep her mind occupied on other matters, than that mirror. She waited til her husband would return home, so she could show him the mirror and tell him everything. Was this something of a clue onhte whereabouts of her son? Ronia could sense something was up with her mother, but the vibe she was getting from her..Ronia didn't press the matter. Sadira's gaze would look through the window the brillant colors as the sun slowly went down. Soon Zarlox would be home...soon she would feel safe..perhaps soon she will have answers.
