"Thank you for coming to me here, Diell has a liking for wandering and I'm sorry he disturbed you in the law room".~ Wondering how she knows this you still don't ask~."My Mother of My Heart, Whisper, shall join us if you don't mind"?~ You say, "No of course I don't mind..." and she nods to her mother continues with the introduction.
Stepping forward from the mirror of time, Whisper smiles to her beloved stepdaughter and grandson. Looking to be maybe 25 yrs old she walks to Tarthar's side with a quiet yet alluring sway. Putting her hand on her grandson's shoulder, she looks up at you and grins her lavender eyes flash with welcome and she too mentions for you to come forth.
"Don't worry traveller, For if I or my daughter were to hurt you, you would not have gotten to this point. This is a safe place and all are welcome to an extent. So feel at ease in my presence for I mean no harm to you and yours neither does my grandson, he's mearly a curious child."
~As Tarthar, Whisper,the child and you wander the Gallery you stop before a womans picture that resembles neither of them and you ask, "Who is she...?"~Stopping before the huge picture Tarthar smiles a bit sadly and whispers "She is my mother, Tatana, she died not long ago".
~Whisper grins slightly making her eyes flash more.. "Yes the woman in the portrait is me.. This was taken a few days before I married my Taj or as some would say beloved, Lord Hodua. Whom's picture also hangs in this hall."
~As you continue the looking a picture of Tarthar hangs there and your eyes go wide as you look from the real thing to the painting and she laughs~"I was a bit different then".
~Slowly she turns to her son and walks with him a ways as Whisper walks with you and gazes upon a man and another picture of a woman this one resembling Whisper herself.~

~As you come to a picture that hangs on the wall it is of both a girl and boy as very young children, the older boy with Tarthar resembling the boy in the picture. Slowly she and the boy join you and he looks up at the little girl almost as if he'd cry but he frowns and bites his lip softly as Tarthar speaks softly.~"Tis Diell and his twin sister, Dier."~ softly she strokes the boys hair back and nods as if asking her a silent question and she whispers softly~
|
~Now before you is the remaining picture. That of a woman of beauty never seen before and even the picture seems to make you wish to join her as she calls upon the powers surrounding her. You ask in a hushed voice reaching out to the picture, "Who is she ..please I must know." Slowly Tarthar looks up and a tear of blood runs down her cheek as she whispers softly...."She was my teacher, my friend and the Judge of all Elves in ElfQuest......Malia was her name and she recently passed on leaveing me in her place. Diell & Dier knew her well as did my father and my mother. Whisper came to know her a bit before she .... passed on".
~Slowly as she turns away and stands at Whisper's side, Diell looks up at you and his unusual eyes so like his grandfathers stare into your very soul silently. ~Sighing you can only look at the sad boy as you turn and bow to both the ladies.~ "I thank you for inviting me to veiw your home.~Nodding softly Tarthar speaks gently and smiles Go in peace may the Gods protect you."
