He nods to her as they head inside. He held his little with a soft laugh at her antics and snuggled and kissed her. Such a bright little child, strong willed and no doubt feisty as she grows older. Later tonight....he needed to come here alone.

At the end of the week Willow had left to return to her own domain and life went back into routine for Novakon and little Rose. Though on Roses Second birthday, Willow once more made the trip to attend even though there was no party thrown for her. Rose was quite the walker now, and by her third birthday she was the average toddler who managed to some how slip away from Novakon when he wasn’t looking to end up getting herself filthy from playing in the volcanic mulch in the garden. Rose at 3 was a handful, loving to push Novakons worry buttons but seemed sorry when ever he’d find her and give her a good lecture. At 4 he had his back turned over only a moment and Rose wondered from his side while he had a meeting, “Where is Lady Rose?” one of his men said noticing she was no longer there and the door was open.

Each time he had lost her he went crazy to find her. He couldn't stay cross at her because she was so much like her mother, and like him. Each year that he met with the lady lightning he always felt calm and felt an old familiar feeling. But each time he went on his own to Kitiaras grave to try and speek with her spirit....he always was left alone. Now at the fourth year of roses life he looked around and growled with irrataion and hurried out of the chamber. Ordering maids and servants to find her. It was time he guessed to start being alittle more strict or carefull with her. He had long since promised himself never to let her out of his sight or care for very long.

A maid cried out, “My lord I’ve found her” She said from the window that over looked the garden, “She’s down tbe the white rose bush again My lord” The maid added to him. Rose had wondered away from her fathers side and had gone out side where she could have fresh air and sunlight. She had on a little black sun dress and a black ribbon tied into her blood red hair. She was standing in the flower bed by the rose bush that bloomed over Kitiara’s grave and turned when she heard many voices yelling her name.

He laughed at how quickly she had made her way outside. He nods and went out to the rose bush, to his beloved wifes grave. when he reached Rose he knelt down and looked at her sternly." Rose, how many times must i lecture you about running off like that? Your going to give me a heart attack doing that one of these days. "

Rose turned and looked at him, “Sorry daddy… I followed mommy” She said to him softly. She had seen Kitiara’s spirit and had left his side to follow which lead her here to her place of burial. “Daddy how come you don’t disappear like she does? I wish I could go invisatable” she said unable to pronounce all words correctly. She moved towards him as she put her small hands on his cheeks knowing he must be upset with her for wondering off on him.

He smiled softly and only managed a very small smile. His arms reached out and pulled her softly into a warm embrace. " I can't disaapear like mommy because i'm alive. Mommy is a spirit, here to help you. " He knew it was getting time to tell her but he was so afraid of doing so.
But he wondered, why had Kitiara's spirit lead Rose out here to begin with? He wished she wouldn't disappear every time he came close to her. Over the four years now, he had become more and more attrackted to Willow, but he couldn't bring himself to do anything about it. He desperatly wanted forgivness and approval from Kitiara before he could keep that promise.

Rose smiled as he pulled her into his arms and she put her small arms around his shoulders, "So?" She asked curiously as she laced a little kiss on his cheek, "She's got such a pretty voice daddy... I like it when she sings to me... you don't ever sing to me like that" She said as she glanced back at the rose bush, "She told me to come sit with her tonight and she'd sing to me again"

He laughed softly at what she said. " Baby, your daddy can't sing to save his life. Your mother knows all about that. I start singing and you'd start looking for something to make me stop. " He kissed her forehead softly. With a gentle sigh he looked at the rose bush and shook his head. He missed her so much and what had happened still ate at him. He smiled though.
" run back inside and wait for me. I'll be along in a minuet. " He let her go and gave her a warm smile. He waited untill she was out of earshot before looking to the grave. And whispered softly. " My love.....please forgive me. Help me overcome this pain, and please....watch over our daughter. You...were right again...there is someone else that can calm me, but not as you could. Let me know that i am loved still and that you approve of the lady lightning. I will not break another promise to you as long as i live. " AFter he finished he waited only a moment before touching the gravestone and then leaving to meet up with Rose.

That night the bed shifted slightly as rose climbed off it in the middle of the night, the soft light song bird voice carried in on the wind from the open window has woken her from her sleep. Rose usually slept beside her father and still didn't even have a room of her own yet. She was dressed in a sleeveless pink night gown that went to her feet. She moved to the door of the room and it was the sound of it shutting that actually woke him. Rose trailed her fingers along the wall as she moved to the stairs and went down them. The familure faint sound of Kitiara's lullaby the one she used to sing often to her son when he was a child drew her out of the palace on the cloudy moonless night.

He stired lightly with the shifting of the bed. He remained sleeping as the song birds song came through the opened window. But when the sound of a door closeing his eyes shot open. He sat up and looked around and noticed Rose was gone. He stood and dressed in pants as normal he walked out and followed his little . He knew where she was likely heading as he now caught the sound of Kitiaras lullaby.

Rose moved around the corner of the door leading out into the garden as she moved down the stairs into the garden she saw a figure kneeling by the rose bush. She approached slowly almost like she was in a trance. She put her hands on the dirt as she climbed onto the flower bed and sat beside this figure she was so used to seeing. Rose laid down over the grave of her other listening to her sing, and still to young and innocent to knowing what Kitiara was. As she sang Rose closed her eyes and laid there falling asleep.

He held back for awhile just watching and listening to her. He silently moved in closer once Rose had fallen asleep again. He only smiled to himself and knelt beside the grave. He figured Kitiara would vanish at his appearance anyway.

Kitara didn't disappear but instead continued to sing as Rose laid there once more sleeping. Kitara was dressed in the dress she had been buried in. She was watching Rose, her eyes where not on him and she looked so sad as she watched Rose, her hands on her lap because she knew she couldn't touch her child.

He watched the grave and listened. With whispered words he spoke to her as she continued to sing to their daughter. " she is so much like you every day. I wish....that i could take back what i had done. I love you Kitiara....but i think it is time to let go...for both of our sakes. "
