Hiram was happier than he had ever been. After such a long and emotionally exhausting search, his family had finally been brought together by nothing less than the grace of Raas. The trip back to his claim had been shorter than he anticipated, especially after spending so long following a winding path south. But no longer was cardinal burdened by the uncertainty of his search. Guided by the light of the Lord, Hiram returned to the grotto with his two beautiful daughters in tow.

He had learned so much about them in their time of travel -- and now, he finally felt like a proper father. @Laurel, she was such loud girl, full of spunk and spirt. She possessed such a lively nature, bringing a smile to her father's face more often than naught. And @Indra, quiet at first and sometimes overshadowed by her sister, had a smile that could brighten even the darkest of nights. Oh, how he loved them so.

Once they had returned, Hiram soon learned how much of a handful his girls wold be. His time was spent with them, making up for the time he had lost in their quickly dissapearing youth. He rarely got a moment of silence or sleep with them around -- but he was happy. So, so happy to have his girls back home.

That morning both his daughters slept soundly within the protective cover of the grotto. It was one the first moments of silence that Hiram had received since arriving home and he relished in it greatly as he watched them slumber from afar. His attention somehow strayed as a certain scent pulled at his senses. A sweet perfume hung in the air -- from who, he did not know. It's hold over him however was creeping, slowly building until he had to rise and pursue.

Just as he rose, the howl sounded from the den mouth. Jhala. He stepped forward, out of the cave and into the light of day as he was ensnared by the spell she had set upon him. "Jhala," he spoke, voice nearly a whisper as he neared her to take in her scent.
