The Tiger Within

"Daxin… I want my Daddy . " Raina tangled her little fingers in Daxin"s neck fur . The world nodded and turned away, leading Raina away .

"You don"t have the right to call any of Kyera"s family your own, Akira . Kyera"s name lays on my family register . " Half Eye reminded her, his voice cool as ice . "The shadow King will take his due, Queen Shadow Dancer . "

"No one calls me that anymore . " She growled at him once again but Half Eye Laughed .

"Yet, I notice you wear a high neck gown to hide his mark . You made your choice, My Lady . He is being lenient now, but if you hurt Kyera again, he will send the lady Raven to invite you to Moria . " He says quietly "Personally . "

His words left her standing speechless . What could she say to that? He was right . She turned away and Half Eye smirked walking back toward the royals to find Raina and Daxin waiting .

"Shaman Half Eye… can I have a word?" Raina asked a bit fidgety .

"I have quite a few to spare, what kind of word would you like?" He asked and it took her a moment to realize he was teasing her . She smiled .

"I was going to ask you not tell my Mommy I met that lady . " Raina replied and Daxin looked at Raina curiously . "I don"t want Mommy mad at me . "

"Your Mother will not be angry, I a.s.sure you . Akira was out of line and if it makes you feel better, I will be your personal escort tonight . " Half Eye offered showing her a smile and bowing low . It was something he rarely did and the stiffness of his old muscles reminded him why he didn"t do such things .

"Thank you, Shaman Half Eye, I think I am just going to stay with grandmother . I need to take her the tea . " Raina turned away and swept off to her grandmother, pouring her a cup of tea . She also poured a cup for Vella who was sitting next to her mother, the baby on her lap .

"I was wondering where you went, Princess . Your father and I were getting a touch worried . " Evelyn offered as she sipped her tea . It was warm and soothing, exactly what she needed .

"I got held up by a servant that was out of line . It is okay though, Shaman Half Eye came to rescue me . " Raina replied offering a dazzling smile, hoping to distract them from her story . Evelyn smiled and nodded at Half Eye her eyes warm and kind as she sat in the chair .

"Thank you for looking after the Princess . Have either of you seen Clovis?" Evelyn asked a bit curiously . Raina shook her head tilting her head slightly to one side . "He went to inquire if everything is prepared for your Mother . " She smiled seeing the way her granddaughter beamed at the mention of Kyera .

"Is it almost time for the Princesses to appear?" Raina asked rather excited . She was already missing her mother, having not seen her this morning .

"Yes . They should be coming in soon . " Vella agreed offering her niece a pretty smile . Raina turned and hugged her little cousin . The baby boy chuckled brightly as Raina tickled him playfully .

"That will be fantastic . I am ready to see her dress . " Raina replied with a smile .

"Oh? You know about her dress?" A familiar voice asked from behind her . She turned and smiled seeing Kan, appearing dressed nicely in a guard"s uniform, a sword at his side . The child chuckled, knowing that was just a fancy toy for the Tiger in human form . It would be the last thing he reached for if it came to protection .

"No, but I know she"s safe now . When your near , Mommy isn"t far away . " Raina replied sharing yet another smile . Kan knelt and bowed his head to her .

"As always, our Princess is as intelligent as she is fair . " Kan replied with a slight purr to his voice . His respect for the child was a bit surprising .

"Are you one of Kyera"s guards?" Vella asked raising an eyebrow . She had not seen Kan before and the way Raina seemed familiar with him was new . She had never been close to a guard before .
