Even as she was speaking with Asheni she caught sight of another face. Two beautiful green eyes peered in, almost seeming to have a double take before the head stopped and the eyes froze in disbelief. From her place there in the nest of pine needs Crusade smiled up. Cifer. Her mate. The father of three new little warriors.

Crusade started chuckling at the look on his face. At the wonder of it all. These two lovely old folks, parents. Soon the chuckle turned into a laugh, a real silver ring of a laugh, like she used to in days gone by. This was heaven.

And it because more so when another face showed up. This time it was Crusade?s turn to stare in disbelief. Her jaw dropped and her remaining eye stretched wide. Was it? No? it couldn?t be! ?Rogue!? she choked out. He started talking ? at first she couldn?t catch the words. She was absorbed totally by the face. By those eyes that had once been so tiny and carefree. Even now they glimmered with his quirk of humor. It was then that she heard his words. Well he?d live today. She wouldn?t kill her brother on the day of their reunion. ?Rogue it IS you!? she cried. And the eyes that had danced with laughter were now rimmed with the extra light of tears.

Joyful ones though. For this was as good as any heaven Crusade could imagine. Maybe she was already there. Perhaps the next to walk in would be her mother or her father.

Well it was a grey wolf that next strode into the mouth of the alcove, but it wasn?t Drake. It was Keki! And she had a pup! Crusade stared in pleasant surprise as Keki told off Rogue. That made Crusade laugh again. Barely did she stop to introduce them to eachother. ?Rogue! Meet your adopted niece, Keki.? She flicked an ear beside her. ?And this is Maka. Maka, Keki, this is Rogue, one of my brothers?.? She was still at a loss as to how this all was possible.

Keki was already coming to sit beside the aged mother, however, and Crusade turned her attention to this new little bundle of joy. ?Hello there.? the timber fae chuckled. She was ready to explode with motherliness at the moment and she was quite ready to share her new flow of milk if the little one needed it. ?Who?s this adorable whelp, Keki? He?s not one of Gargoyle?s litter ? Where?d you find him??

It was then that the pup turned over slightly and Crusade got a look at it?s back. The markings? they were just like Keki?s?

Crusade looked up to her adopted daughter with a start.
