Anella just stared at them for a minute. Then she shook her head. "Yes, well...he didn't find out that she was the...goddesss..for a long time, and then..." She sighed like she knew she was going to be talking for a long time.

"Do you want some water?" Laura asked. Markus smiled and shook his head.

"Water would be nice."Anella said, stalling.

Laura popped up and rushed off to get the water. Markus watched her, shaking his head.

Anella made sure Laura was in earshot before beggining her story. She started speaking as though she was reading from a book, her voice soft and even: They were both sitting in his house and night, with a fire in the hearth. It was only a few months since Henry had taken her in. As they sat there moonlight streamed in through the window. As the night went on the light kept spreading further across the floor, and Eva moved away as it did. eventually Henry spoke; "Why are you afraid of the moonlight? It cant hurt you." She looked up at him "They tell tales of a great woman who appears when the moon is large enough to light up the earth. She is said to be terrible." her eyes were watching him closely as she finished. "oh." he said, looking down again."There is nothing to fear from her." "Have you ever seen her?" "Yes." "What was she like?" He sighed "She was the most beautiful creature I have ever seen, but I have no affection for her. Her face showed love for all things cold and beautiful, but her heart knew nothing of things soft and lovely. In her I saw nothing of love, but only of lust and greed and all the sins of men. Her eyes were the blank pits of temptation. And yet I saw a glimpse of something human when she spared me, or perhaps that was just proof of what a silly creature she was, sparing me because of flattery. If she even has a soul it is a blank and terrible as her heart." He stopped, fingering a small ring in his hands. "She loved you." Eva finally said, her voice trembling. "She loved and it tore her appart because she had never felt anything but simple, animal, inhuman emotions! She couldn't stop thinking about you, and it hurt her to see you happy, but it killed her to see you hurt. And she was willing to give up everything, everything that made her special and inspired awe and wonder, everything she ever knew, because she loved you!" He was staring at her now "W-What are you talking about?" Slowly she stepped back into the pale light, tears coming down her cheeks. In and instant all her beauty and glory was back, and the tears were gone. her hair floated around her head like a crown. "I'm Sorry." He stared at her for a long time "You..you're.." Finally he stood up and walked up to her, his own skin reflecting light silver from her glow. "N-no, I'm sorry.." he said breathlessly. Then slowly and hesitantly he kissed her. "Then I woke up." Anella said.

Laura looked compeltely mesmerized. Then she sighed softly and sat down, resting the water on the table. "That was so sweet." Laura said. "I guess it did end in a wedding after all. Sort of." Markus said teasingly. She just nodded, a dreamy look still on her face. "It must have been incredible to have a dream like that, so vividly."

"Y-yeah..sure.." Anella said a little hesitantly. Her father whistled. "That was some dream."

"That was." Markus agreed. He glanced over at Laura again, wondering why it had affected her in that particular way. She did love stories. "Hey people." Raythor said blankly. He stood next to the table but didn't sit down, clearly intending to leave shortly.

"Oh hello Raythor."Anella said, half glad he haddn't heard her story."Won't you eat with us?" "Yes, wont you?" Her father said with a grin.

"I'm not-" Raythor started. Laura shot him a look. "I mean yes. I'd love to." "Nice." Markus said. "You've put your spell on him." "He's too malnurished to put up a fight." Laura said. "I am not." Raythor said.

"You are thin Raythor, you should eat..." Anella said "Nag, nag, nag.."Her father said under his breath. She shot him a look and he grinned again.

Raythor mumbled something under his breath but got a large amount of food and preceeded to eat it. Laura nodded her approval. "That's one thing she never bothers me about." Markus said. "Right Laura?" "I suppose..." Laura said.

"You don't need to be fattened up, you're a prince."Anella said absentmindedly, then she blushed a little "That came out wrong."

"No, I understand. I eat rich food all the time." Markus said. "And I steal terrible food." Raythor said. "Well, not anymore..."

"I hope you won't have to again.."Anella said looking concerned. "I bet you do."Her father said "W-what's that supposed to mean?" Anella said indignantly "I don't know." He answed with a shrug. Suddenly a serving boy ran in, looking for Laura's father. "There's a group of men outside, sir." He said blankly.
