Jaedina: *walks inside, welcoming Kyla into her home, as she heads to the kitchen*
Kyla: ::follows Jaedina in, smiling sociably::
Jaedina: *Kyla hears a child walking in* Mother! What's for lunch!
Jaedina: *says softly* Coming dear.. coming...
Jaedina: *she looks at Kyla* I wish I had a man around the house to help me with all these children... *she goes to the cabinets and pulls out some bread and jam, with peanut butter*
Kyla: ::looks at the child, slightly startled, then smiles at Jaedina:: So, how many children do you have?
Jaedina: 16 and still growing... *she sets the bread apart*
Kyla: ::laughs softly:: Men usually aren't much help with children, even when they're around.
Jaedina: about 8 has already grown old and left... They grow so fast.. and I do mean,, they grow fast.
Kyla: Sixteen?? My goodness....
Kyla: And how many of them are yours?
Kyla: Grow fast? Oh, like Corbin...
Jaedina: I have about 5 kids that are ready to lea-- *is interrupted by kids running into the house, practically crowding around Jaedina.. all saying different things. Kyla is able to catch "hi mom!!" "what's for lunch?!" "mom! she hit me!"
Kyla: ::smiles a little::
Kyla: ::waits quietly::
Jaedina: *she quickly hands the children the sandwiches and attempts to to talk over their voices* Go on outside kids... Mom has to clean...
Jaedina: *all the kids rush out screaming and laughing*
Kyla: Goodness....
Jaedina: *she laughs* What were you saying?
Kyla: ::smiles:: Oh, I just forgot how quickly Corbin was growing...
Kyla: How old are Jorael's children?
Jaedina: *she hands Kyla a bottle*
Jaedina: Come..
Jaedina: *takes one and begins heading for the stairs, walking up*
Kyla: ::takes the bottle and follows::
Jaedina: Only 14 are mine.. the other 2, I took care of them because of special reasons... like with Jorael's son..
Jaedina: *she walks into the room, Kyla seeing a couple babes.. in cribs.. all standing up, but some tend to fall all talking in baby voice*
Kyla: You've had 14 babies? ::is obviously shocked but keeping her voice polite::
Jaedina: *she lifts Jorael's son and hands it to Kyla, gently* This is Jorael's son..
Jaedina: *she walks over and picks up a girl* This is Jorael's Daughter..
Kyla: ::takes him gently, skillfully, her face softening with wonder::
Jaedina: *she lets the 3rd baby out* Let's take them outside.. they could use the fresh air..
Jaedina: *she begins walking out of the room slowly and down the stairs*
Kyla: Oh, he's so sweet.... ::looks over at the little girl:: And she's yours...
Kyla: ::follows::
Kyla: This is all so.... difficult for me to take in...
Jaedina: *smiles* Thank you... *she walks out the backdoor, setting the babes in the crib that is outdoors, she sits on a chair watching the kids* So what about you? You have any children?
Jaedina: difficult?
Kyla: ::gazes at the baby in her arms:::
Kyla: No, no children... No sweetheart yet even...
Kyla: Yes, difficult... It's just...
Jaedina: Is it true what he said?..
Kyla: What did he say?
Kyla: Oh... about my mother? yes, it's true.
Jaedina: I heard him say that you are the kind... that dies when you have a baby... that the women dies?
Kyla: Well... only if I had a daughter....
Kyla: Mother had my brothers just fine... but...
Jaedina: But?
Kyla: You see... it's the magic...
Kyla: To have sons, she didn't deplete her magic.
Kyla: Because the boys can't.
Kyla: But, when she had me, I...
Jaedina: So if you have a girl... It is definite or possible of death?
Kyla: ::stares at the baby:: I sort of sucked hte magic out of her...
Jaedina: Kinda like the magick is handed down..
Kyla: Well, at home... It's definite. But you can't know what the child will be.
Kyla: ::nods::
Jaedina: Is it possible for someone to feed your mother the magick when she was having you?
Kyla: No, it's not like that....
Kyla: As long as she's pregnant, she's okay, because I was still there...
Jaedina: It is complicated. *she smiles*
Kyla: But when I was born, I left her, so the magic left her.
Kyla: Like a bee when it stings...
Kyla: That's why Corbin fascinates us...
Kyla: At home, males can have magic, but only if their fathers had magic.
Kyla: That doesn't kill the mother or the father.
Jaedina: That is right.. the only male in your clan to have magick?
Kyla: Female magic users are rare, because it can only be passed once.
Kyla: Yes. Because the males in the Ramsay line are psychics.
Kyla: Most people aren't either.
Jaedina: Is Corbin psychic?
Kyla: And they tend to avoid those who do.
Kyla: I don't know.
Kyla: He's such a strange case...
Kyla: He had to have gotten his magic from Draegon. Or perhaps the mother. I understand he has one...
Kyla: Things are quite different here.
Jaedina: His mother has magick...
Kyla: Well, perhaps his magic comes from her.
Jaedina: She was once a powerful mage and queen of her kingdom...
Kyla: Once... but no longer?
Kyla: Oh....
Kyla: Draegon
Jaedina: *nods* All the people here were once powerful..
Jaedina: in one way or the other...
Jaedina: But he's somehow reduced them to nothing but servants and breeders for his kingdom...
Kyla: ::looks down;: He was lying when he said he wouldn't touch the castle, wasn't he?
Jaedina: Kyla... *she places his hand on yours* There is something that makes me curious about you Ramsays...
Kyla: He's probably got it all taken over already....
Kyla: ::looks up:: What's that?
Jaedina: From what I hear.. you aren't evil... you aren't powerful rulers.. you only have the ability that Draegon wants in his bloodlines...
Jaedina: *she smiles* He has no reason to destroy your home...
Kyla: Yes, I suppose that's true.... We certainly aren't all that powerful... If he wanted the power, he'd go after King Bartholomew, not us.
Kyla: Oh.. I see.
Jaedina: Bartholomew?
Kyla: ::smiles;: It's beneath his interest. Well, that's nice.
Kyla: ::looks at the baby, smiling:: He's so beautiful... Jorael would be so proud...
Jaedina: He's letting you take the children.. to Jorael...
Kyla: To Jorael?
Jaedina: His children...
Kyla: ::gasps slightly:: Oh.... ;:looks sad:: Away from you....
Kyla: Oh, I'm so sorry...
Jaedina: *she smiles* Don't be...
Jaedina: I would rather have the children be outside of this realm than in here with me..
Jaedina: If you take the children, you will never know how much it will mean to me..
Kyla: ::nods slowly, still sympathetic:: yes, I see....
Kyla: Oh, and if it's true, then Jorael must be all right...
Kyla: I've been so frantic...
Jaedina: *smiles*
Kyla: We really need him desperately. ::smiles;:
Jaedina: I haven't named the children...
Kyla: No?
Jaedina: I thought the father should do that..
Kyla: Oh, isn't that hard for you though?
Jaedina: *she smiles at her daughter* Yes.. but... If they don't have a name in 2 weeks.. I will name them...
Kyla: :;looks over at the baby girl::
Kyla: I see.... And... Does Draegon know... will he let the children go if ....
Kyla: ::hesitates::
Jaedina: If?
Kyla: He knows so much, surely he knows the condition things are in....
Kyla: ::smiles dismissively:: I'm sure it's all fine.
Jaedina: *she looks and quickly stands*
Kyla: ::follows her gaze, getting up as well....::
Jaedina: *she begins shouting* Kids.. Kids! Get into the house now! *she hands the daughter to Kyla* Please take them into the house..
Kyla: ::take the little girl in her free arm and heads inside::
Jaedina: *Kyla can hear loud thundering, the sun quickly ceasing.. kids rushing inside*
Jaedina: *is still outside, rushing to her black cat, picking him up and running inside, shutting the door before the rain rushes*
Kyla: ::takes the babies upstairs to their cribs and gently lays them down;:
Jaedina: *she sighs* damn storms..
Kyla: ::looks out a window, intrigued, then heads back down again::
Kyla: That was fast!
Jaedina: *she shoos the kids to their rooms to play games*
Kyla: ::looks out a window again::
Jaedina: Yes.. that it was.. I hate the storms, they totally restrict rooms for the kids to play in..
Kyla: ::nods:: yes. Rainy days always do.
Jaedina: *she sits down* I was thinking of naming the daughter.. Cessa...
Kyla: Cessa... that's pretty. I will tell Jorael. I'm sure he would want to please you too.
Jaedina: Cessa Lynn...
Jaedina: *she smiles and opens a book.. not really reading, just looking at Kyla*
Kyla: Cessa Lynn... I like that... :smiles;::
Kyla: ::gazes out the window, her face growing worried again::
Draegon: *comes in, shaking his clothes, letting the rain off it* Hello Jaedina.. Kyla..
Draegon: *nods*
Kyla: ::looks at Draegon;:
Draegon: We are having trouble, It is time for you to go home Kyla... *he nods to Jaedina*
Kyla: ::nods belatedly, deciding she'd better acknowledge him::
Kyla: Home?
Jaedina: *obviously trying not to cry, walks up the stairs, coming down with the two babes, handing them to Kyla*
Jaedina: *she whispers* Take care of them..
Kyla: ::takes them gently, looking at Jaedina, trying not to cry for her:: I will.
Draegon: *a portal flashes open by Kyla* Farewell Kyla...
Kyla: ::looks at Draegon::
Jaedina: *cries out* Wait!
Kyla: ::turns back to Jaedina;:
Kyla: Yes?
Jaedina: *she rushes to her jewelry box. frantically opening it and rushes back to Kyla, handing her two items* The crucifix.... on the chain.. my mother gave me this and I think she should have this... and this ring.. is for the son... make sure they get these when they get older....
Draegon: *gets impatient as he walks to Kyla, guiding her away from Jaedina and to the portal*
Kyla: ::nods:: I will. Jorael will take good care of them...
Kyla: ::resists the pushing a little though not much for the safety of the babies::

Scene: The ground begins to rumble slightly.

Draegon: Go now, Kyla!
Kyla: ::looks alarmed, then steps through quickly::
Draegon: *the portal closes as Kyla finds herself in the woods, near the ramsay castle*
Kyla: ::looks around quickly, then hurries towards the castle::
Kyla: ::the guards recognize her and let her in::
