The Manorhouse at Aethyia

The house stood before her looming. Her vardo stopped in front of it. She looked up at the building with a half broken smile. One this would have been the happy home for her family. Now she wasn't even sure how she felt about the building and feelings of abandonment streaked through her. Her mind would later remind her that her traveling had left Thartis alone for so long he probably annulled their marriage by now, but she was still young enough to introspect at how she felt first. She stepped down from her seat, the damp earth making a small thud as it absorbed her weight. Someone was approaching from the east, but they would be a few minutes before arriving to where she was. The horses snort was one of impatience, they had grown accustomed to going, going, going during her travels and now they wanted to go again. She reached over to pat the quivering hind quarter of the beloved animal. "It's okay We're going to be here for a bit. I have to grow up and handle things. No more running away, my lovelies. Being a grown vampire means facing things you don't want to face." She spoke softly to them, more to reassure herself than to answer them. Still, she began methodically settling her vardo down. Where it was would suffice for now. She was Baroness of this land and it was time she learned what that meant, faced her husband, and dealt with all that was due in the world, but first, she would settle her horses and home.
