Hours before sunrise, Kyera slipped into Raina"s room . The little girl was tucked into the window seat, an open book on her lap . It was clear that she had not intended to go to bed yet . Kyera couldn"t blame her, it was probably nerves . No 7 year old slept much their last night of their 7th year .
The events of the last year waltzed through Kyera"s mind . From the frightened child she rescued from the hyenas, to the first time she touched the Zither . The wedding rescue, and the child"s sheer joy during the s...o...b..ll fight . The memories of a mother . They felt stolen somehow, like Kyera shouldn"t have been the one she loved so dearly . Yet… the child had chosen her and so had her father . Kyera"s hand caressed the baby in her tummy .
Advertis.e.m.e.ntWith a glance at the slowly setting moon, Kyera steadied herself . She reached out, and gently rose the child from her slumber . "Good morning, my dear . We must begin . " She whispered tenderly rousing the child . Raina"s soft blue eyes fluttered open sleepily .
"Mommy?" She whispered reaching up to rub the sleep from her eyes . Kyera smiled and kissed her forehead .

"Yes baby, come along we must get dressed and ready before we must join the family at the cliffs . " Kyera explained with a bright smile . With mention of the cliffs Raina sprung to life . Her birthday was in the morning . Finally, after all this time… it was her birthday . The wait was over . She would finally find out what the big secret was .
Kyera chuckled at her excitement as Raina threw her arms around her and hugged her . "Good Morning, Mommy . " She cheered happily and Kyera turned the hug into a slow spin .
"Goodmorning . Your dress is ready . " She said with a smile . Was Raina imagining things or did Kyera seem nervous as she mentioned the dress?
Raina nodded "Then let"s get ready . " She replied excitment filling her tones . Kyera chuckled and followed him with a kindly smile . She took Raina"s hand and the mother and daughter pair dashed to get ready . It was completely clear they were both happy .
Kyera sent the Maids away and began to dress her daughter herself . The dress fit her form beautifully, every inch tailored to settle naturally . The dress itself was made of leather that came to her knees and beneath it was a set of frilly skirts that touched her toes . There was a gold ribbon tied at the bottom ruffle . Kyera smiled as she knelt down .
"It is time to teach you something new, Raina . This is special and was designed by your great Grandmother . " Kyera United the bow at the bottom of the dress . She slid the material up the ribbons and the skirts ruffled and bunched to create a shorter but more interesting dress . The pale wolf fur boots that came up to her thighs were suddenly visible behind the wispy white cloth . Once it was high enough, Kyera tied the bow again .
"What is that?" Raina asked giggling like the schoolgirl she was . Excitement in her eyes as she examined the dress . She looked like a Princess with the fur Cape and soft blue and white dress .
"This dress is something every mother makes for their daughter"s eighth and Seventeenth birthdays . It is called Fanor Delfast, or loosely translated "The Dress of the Flight" . It is meant to represent a Child coming of an age of Self . At eight you are no longer a mother"s toddler, or perfect doll . You are your own person and must begin learning yourself . " Kyera explained gently . There was pride in her eyes as she looked at her handiwork on Raina"s pet.i.te frame . The child had filled out a bit since being here, and looked more healthy than she ever had . The Frost Lands suited her well .
