A piece of parchment that is bordered with delicate swirls on the borders is nailed to the door of the hospital.

On this day, the 16th of Olos 30, the twin children of Taiah Daekash and Anon D'Athen were born into this world.

The children, Caiah D'Athen and Kenon D'Athen are both in good health and were delivered by Azuros Tjime.

May they be blessed by the Gods and Goddesses, and may they live a good life.


A sentence seems to be added in afterthought, further down.


Please do not disrupt the mother as she recovers from the delivery unless there is a medical emergency.

Taiah gazes lovingly at her daughter in Anon's arms then at her son on her lap with a mixture of happiness and sadness in her silver eyes. She and Caiah had known the risks, that possibly both would die at the birth yet it never entered her mind it would be the strong one! Would this emptiness inside her soul ever abate...Caiah had been closer then anyone ever could be. What would happen between her and Anon without Caiah around? With eyes slowly closing in sleep, Taiah was unable to answer the swirling thoughts and feelings in her mind nor give any support toward Anon who was obviously grieving also.

The Albarain sits quietly in the chair, the girl child held wrapped up in his lieutenant's coat for lack of swaddling clothes. His gaze upon the elfess lying in the bed, he gently rocks Caiah in his arms. Broodingly he watches over the elfess, thinking over his hastily made choices and cursing himself at every turn of consideration. All through the night he watches her, his glare warning off any passersby or would-be visitors.
