Weight Of Paradise

Valtiel was settling in well in Fenmyre, she felt. Everyone was very kind, Cerberus most of all. She'd met the boys father and had been given permission to stay. That took a huge weight off of the girl's mind. She wouldn't be forced out into the world on her own and could stay on the island where she felt comfortable and safe. That wasn't to say that she was just laying around, being lazy. Val tried to fill her days with work while Cerberus was out on the island doing his princely duties. She was putting on weight, but more than that, she was putting on muscle. The girl trained, pushing heavy logs and things along the beach. She hunted on the island to fill the stores and did whatever was asked of her.

The highlight of each day was the evening when Cerberus came to join her. They spoke little, but just spending time with him made the dark lady feel better. Still young, she was working on her confidence and really learning who she was and he was helping her tremendously. Val was very thankful to have a master like Cerberus.

Cerberus surprised Val by asking her off of the island for a bit. The fae felt no fear since she wouldn't be alone and went along happily. Cerb's dog carried a little basket and the pair moved along the winding river. "Thank you," the obsidian girl spoke with a grin. She didn't even know what they were doing, but he had cared enough to take her with him, so she was grateful.
