"True enough, now then Raina, I have a present for you . " Clovis replied waiting for his daughter to turn her attention to him, which only took a second .

Advertis.e.m.e.nt"Yes, Father?" Raina asked and he smiled at her . He held out a rather large package, that would easily fit in one arm if she had to carry it by herself . She took it expecting there to be a lot more weight than there was .

"I had it enchanted to be lighter so you can manage it on your own . " Clovis explained to her look of obvious confusion . He couldn't blame here . Most things that big should have been trouble for her to handle alone . It was just logic .

"Thank you, Daddy . " Raina replied as she began to remove the lid of the box delicately . As she did she squealed in delight . Nested in the soft cloth lining of the box was a dark wood zither with silver fastenings to hold the strings in place . It was her size, and custom made, as she looked it over she was enthralled by the painted engraving of a fairies dancing across the corner of the instrument . The largest fairy being a very close replica of her little Muse . "This is beautiful…" Raina whispered looking up at him suddenly . "Its for me?" The grown ups around her chuckled at her disbelief and child like innocents .

"Yes, of course . You have been dedicated to your Zither since the day you started playing . I thought it was time you had your own, made just for you . " Clovis explained kneeling down to his daughter's level, to h.e.l.l with his pants . Raina smiled and hugged her father tight, the zither still in one arm . "Good now, it is probably best that you have your Mother tune it . I am not entirely sure how that part works . "

Raina turned to Kyera and offered it to her . Kyera took it, and began fiddling with the strings with a practiced hand . After only a few moments the Zither was singing delicately just as her own did . Raina's cheeks glowed as she reached a bit impatient for her new prized possession . Kyera handed it back with a chuckle .

"Now then, you have practiced your dance, you have perfected your techniques, and now you have your Zither . You have everything you need to s.h.i.+ne, Princess . " Clovis smiled at her, trying to hide his own nerves . She was his baby girl, and going to be a true center of attention,  compared to all these other children . He didn't want to see her heart break .

"Yes, Daddy . I am ready . " Raina replied, her confidence refres.h.i.+ng and soothing for Clovis . His shy little girl had grown into an amazing young lady . She turned and the flowing purple skirts swirled around her as she led back toward the house . Ryo and Lya fell into step behind her before Clovis or Kyera could . The family of four, and their entourage proceeded together, a United front, ready to face the future before her .
