"Don't worry first Aunt, the Good big snake only eats the evil black bellied snakes . As long as your a good person he will protect you . " Raina said with a smile . Clovis shot Feya a look that chilled her blood . She knew at that moment, though the words came from Raina's lips, it was a warning from Clovis' own heart .

"Oh, then I shall be fine, don't you think, Raina?" Feya asked, her voice velvety smooth . Raina seemed to think for a long moment and Feya's mind couldn't help but wonder how much he had told their child . Finally, Raina pursed her lips and began to speak .

Advertisement"Yes, but you need to keep an eye on my cousins…" Raina replied seriously . Her sweet little face seemed truly concerned . Though Clovis was fairly sure why she said that he decided to prompt her anyway .

"And Why's that, Princess?" he asked and she looked up at her Father with true concern .

"They are young but they don't know any better and can be mean sometimes . The Good Indigo Snake doesn't like mean kids . " she pointed out and he sighed, having expected this . Feya's interest was peaked .

"But they are close to your age, and two are older than you, Princess . " Feya pointed out smoothly . Clovis shot her a death glare and she was lost . She didn't realize she said something wrong till Raina looked down at the edge of her sleeve, fiddling with it .

"Yes… but Beauty Lyra says I had to grow up faster because I didn't have a Mommy to protect me . They get to be kids longer and need more attention . " Raina's response was like shards of ice digging into Feya's heart . Before Feya could respond, Clovis picked his little girl up . He placed a kiss to her soft raven hair and shot Feya a look that was filled with sorrow and disappointment of a broken heart .

"Let me walk you out, First Princess Feya . " Clovis interceded before anymore could be said . Feya nodded and Clovis walked toward the doors . "Thank you, Feya . If it wasn't for you, I would have been too late to protect what I have . " he whispered so Raina could not hear . He then turned and walked back inside, carrying his little girl to her room .

The Beauty Palace of Winter Rains

Kyera stood quietly in the mirror looking at the slip she wore . Mally was preparing to wrap her in silks and satins again but Kyera shook her head . She raised a hand and swirled it several times . The shadows seemed to follow her every move . The cloth found itself wrapped and swirled around her, tied snuggly and carefully in place . A fox and a wolf tying the bow on her hip .

The purple fabric fit snuggly to her bodice and hips drifting off her hips . She spun a few times and the wolf and fox tugged and danced beneath the dress making sure it settled on her properly . Mally watched in awe as the three played with the fabric till it set perfectly on Kyera's petite frame . She felt as though she was watching a gypsy dance with the spirits beyond . Suddenly, she understood why Kyera had always been so self reliant .

"Wow… That fits well . . " Mally commented inspecting Kyera as soon as she stopped spinning around . Kyera nodded as the wolf and fox shifted forms to tend to their lady's hair . White tendrils were carefully woven and pinned into place to create a woven pattern at the back of her head . The other strands teased and tempted into lovely curls cascading over her back in thick waves . The Fox reached for a little box on the counter only to find it quickly stolen by Mally's swift hands . "No little spirit, this one I get to add . " She chided him opening the box . She brought out a pair of amethyst and silver hair pins . Kyera waited patiently as her friend slid the piece into her hair, the dangles contrasting against her hair as they shimmered in the light . Mally Sighed and Kyera turned to look at her curiously .
