"I have been afraid plenty of times Éden!" Aeryn said. "Do you know why i am here?" Her sharp grey eyes narrowed. "I am finding my mother. Now if you excuse me, friend, I have business to attend to." Aeryn had finally spotted Alaemas and Dolenmar sitting near the fire.

"How long have you been here!" Dolenmar yelled surprised. "A very long time" Aeryn said. "And i have had time to shower, unlike the both of you." she said cheekily.

"Come now!" Alaemas said placing a hand on her shoulder. "We dont smell that much." Aeryn shuddered and then laughed. "Well i need to go upstairs anyway and get dressed in something different." She left them and began to ascend the stairs, her eyes were on her feet as she walked up the stairs. She bumped into something, her eyes rose, and she was met with what looked like a mirror image of herself.

There was a silence between them, as they stared at eachother. Then Umbria's voice spoke, deep and full of age, "You have come looking for me,and I am found." She said, her head high. "I need to talk to you, now ive found you, i have so much to say!" Aeryn managed to stammer. "mother-"
"dont call me that."

Umbria's eyes were hard, "if you must, follow me" she walked down the stairs, past Dolenmar and Alaemas, and sat down on a chair in one of the far corners of the room. "What have you to say to me?"
