“Really? Thank you Daddy!” Lilly threw her arms around her father in a very small tiny adorable bear hug…around his leg.
“I’ll go get it!” Lilly jumped up and ran past her father bolting downstairs.
“Mommy!” Lilly called out jumping rushing down the stairs. “Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy! Mommy can you hear me? Mommy. Mommy are you there?”

As Lilly made an enormous racket barreling down the stairs, Alcibie winced and tried not to look incase her child went straight into the wall. She set down the last of the healing supplies in the nearest trunk and closing it with a snap.
“Lilly, I’m right here. I am guessing Daddy told you we were going to Ostia? Do you need help packing?” Alcibie asked her child as she burst downstairs.

“What? Nu-uh. We’re going to Ostia?” Lilly asked looking at her mother. “We’re going to Ostia! They have a castle right and a princess! Mommy can I please have my traveling bag? I want to go to Ostia and Daddy said I could bring my Book!” Lilly tried not to notice as her mother turned the color of her hair.

“Your book?” Alcibie forced a smile on her face and tried not to curse the Saint who was probably getting back at her for getting pregnant in the first place with an overly gifted magic favoring child. Lilly was still looking at her when Alcibie snapped out of her daze.
“Um…oh here you can put your things in here.” Alcibie said giving Lilly a brown leather pack. The cleric tried not to think about the fact her own child would be sitting next to her looking at the red tome doing her best not to light anything too important on fire.

“Thank you mommy!” Lilly shouted, jumping up the stairs.
“Daddy! Daddy! Daddy! Mommy gave me a bag. Help me pack now.” Lilly smiled brightly.
“You didn’t tell me we were going to Ostia!” Lilly giggled, “Do you think I will be able to meet a princess there? I can find out if she eats cake with every meal if I meet a princess!”

Night looked down at Lilly and smiled. "Sorry, sweety, Ostia doesn't have a princess. It has a Marquess, just like Laus." he explained, stuffing clothes and dolls into the bag. "But I'll buy you a big, big cake!" he assured her, feeling a little guilty about the lie. There was no place to buy cake in Ostia. If what he was told was true, there wasn't even an Ostia left. But he had to go.
"Allright, Lilly, here's your bag." he said, holding it up, but he didn't hand it to her. "Now, go get your book and meet us downstairs. And don't play with it, allright?" he warned, leaving the child to her own devices.
Once he'd fetched his iron blade, Night descended down the stairs. He set the brown bag down, looked at his wife, and sighed. "I really hope I'm right about this." he said. "But part of me hopes I'm not." he admitted. If he was right, then that meant that whatever life he'd had was now burned to the ground.

Alcibie set down what she was storing away. She had been stuffing everything that would not last the trip into an empty crate, she figured she could leave it outside and it would be gone by the time they got back…if they got back, some dark part of her mind whispered to her. They were going into what would surely be a war zone. Lilly would need that spell book and she would need her staves. Night would probably be cutting down people with his sword before they even got there.
“Night…” Alcibie whispered. She embraced her husband and tried not to crush him too close. “I do not think you could stand to sit here and wonder about it. You-We have to go.” She stayed there for a second before coming to her senses. She tried to say something about making money from the fleeing refugees, but she could not even joke about it. Ostia had fallen to the insanity.
“I have been putting all of this into boxes. I think we should leave the drinks here, and a lot of the fruit. Really I have my remedies in one crate and I think all I really need is some clothes. It is so weird how much stuff we have that is just not needed.” Alcibie looked to him and frowned. “Oh God, I cannot believe I am going to say this, but I do not feel bad about leaving it behind. If you tell anyone you will have to sleep with one eye open…”

Night returned his wifes embrace. "Thanks, Alice." he murmured, kissing her forehead. Then she returned to her usual self, and he just rolled his eyes and chuckled. "We'll be back some day." he assured her, setting a hand on her shoulder. "Besides, this trip'll be good for us. My swordplay's been getting rusty, and when's the last time you've used real magic?" he asked. "It'll be just like the good old day-Wait, leave all the drinks?" he asked, as if the prospect of going without his beloved Ostian Thunder would drive him mad.

“Did I miss the turning point in your life when you fight better drunk?” Alcibie asked leveling Night with a look.
“Never mind forget I said anything. That box Healing supplies, the one next to it food. Please make sure they get into the wagon. Anything else you want you can bring. I will get a few more things from upstairs and grab Lilly.” Alcibie smirked before leaving her husband to do the heavy lifting. He said he was getting rusty, the heavy lifting would help him get back into shape.

Night nodded. "Yeah. It happened about nine years ago." he replied with a grin. Left with the task of loading the wagon, he picked one up, and started hauling it out to the stable.
Having hauled out the boxes, Night started hitching up the horses. "Hey, girl." he greeted, leading the first out to the wagon. "Ready to go on a trip?" he asked, harnessing her and placing the bit in her mouth. After a firm pat, he left her to get the other horse, and harnessed that one in like-fashion.

She went into their room and stuffed the clothes most likely to survive a battle into the bag. Then she looked around. Her staves were downstairs, the gold was downstairs, not like she needed anything else really.
“Lilly…” Alcibie called out looking at her daughter, “ready to go?”

Lilly blinked as her mother entered the room. “Mommy Daddy said there was not princess in Ostia. That is silly you said they had a castle and all castles have princesses and dragons guarding them. Are we going to save the princess from the dragon? Then we can eat cake!” Lilly smiled and clutched her book close it was a good book and awesome book, the best book ever!

Alcibie blinked and stared at Lilly for a second. Then she rubbed at her face and tried not to eye the fire tome in her child’s hands.
“I told you about Myra. She was a nice Dragon. Not all dragons are nice Lilly. Some dragon just like burning things…” Alcibie blinked and looked at her daughter. “Just like some little girl I know. You have not been secretly talking to dragons have you Lilly? No, of course not you would have told me. Come on let’s go down stairs.” Alcibie held out her hand and Lilly grasped it. They walked downstairs together and Alcibie grabbed her staves heading outside.

“That’s right Myra was a dragon!” Lilly smiled and clapped her hands. “I think we should see another one!”
“Wait do dragon’s like cake? Is that why they go after princesses because they eat cake? What if Dragon’s don’t like cake?” Lilly asked as her mother grabbed her make people better sticks. Then they headed outside. Lilly saw her father by the horse.
“Daddy, when we meet a dragon we have to ask if they like cake. If they don’t like cake then you can kill it because I don’t want to be its friend then m’kay!” Lilly smiled sounding pleased of herself.

Night looked down at his daughter, not sure what to say. "Uh...right. Whatever you say, Lilly." Wow, she was insane. Part of him felt proud, another just plain scared. Lifting the little girl up, he set her inside the wagon itself, then picked up his wife and set her in the coach, before climbing up after her. "Allright," he said, taking hold of the reins, "Here we go." And so he whipped the reins, and the wagon started off down the road.
