The gates of the Silver City were open when Celia Aldirar made her return, having spent years away in order to continue her studies in evocation and general magic. She stepping into the square, a cool breeze brushing against her face, and yet no person was found. She pursed her lips, having expected her honorable family to have arranged a formal greeting, at the very least. Pride aside for now, she continued on, down the main road and up the stairs to the Upper District of Haelun'or.

 

As she crossed the ornate bridge to her family's manor, a chill ran down her spine. Her face still emotionless, if not slightly annoyed, she saw no activity coming from the outside areas of the home. She perked a brow, peering through the fence at her brother's usual bench, which sat unoccupied. Her mother's pavilion was empty as well, and little Penelope wasn't out harvesting grapes from the vineyard. Celia made her way around to the main gate, and stepped through with caution. Tacked to the gate's side was a notice:

 

"Reclaimed by Government. To be given out to special citizens only!"

 

Celia blinked, but in a furious manner. How dare they, She thought, Even if my family are a bunch of fools and sassy women, why take their home away? The elfess strode further onto the ground, her dress of golden-silk collecting dirt at the hem. She approached the door, which had been seemingly bolted shut. She heard a 'crunch' under her foot, and noticed a metal sign beneath her foot. She bent down, in a modest manner, of course, and brushed the dirt and mud from it with a pale hand. She widened her eyes, the metal sign chiseled with the name 'Aldirar' upon it. She looked about, then back to the door, and then back to the small sign. They never wrote to me, while I was away.

 

Celia turned, hurrying up the path to her mother's pavilion. She arrived in it's doorway in a huff, flicking her pale-purple gaze about the circular structure. At the head of the small table situated at the building's center, a note sat tied with a blue ribbon. Celia stepped around the table, snatching at the note as she went to tear open the letter. Reading it carefully, she blinked several more times.

 

"To the next owner of this home, know the family who came before have all died. Nieces and Nephews, Sisters and Brothers. Even a little girl and her grandmother. All dead. May this family's name never be spoken again, for their tragedy will be brought back to life once more."

 

Celia stood there a long time, speechless and not-moving. She frowned slightly...but not for the family who had all-but cast her out.

 

"They're not all dead...there is still me."

 

The elfess tensed her jaw, closing her eyes as a green-colored aura enveloped her. After a few moments, the letter burst into flames, and Celia turned her hand over to allow the burning paper to fall to the floor.

 

"They were just weak...and I am Fire."

 

A new Head of House had finally come home.

"Actually miss, we didn't kick your family out, your family just vanished, and another decided it was wise to take up stead in your estate. We kicked them out, as they were horrid impures who didn't even try to be legal about claiming the estate. If you'd like to see about getting the estate back for your family, the Okarir'mali's office can be found the the Cloud District, located above the Silver District." says Cinh, a soft smile on his lips as he tries to be helpful, happening along by at the time, going about his job for the city.

Giyah would begin to cackle as she saw this, as she was perhaps hidden away from the grief of losing everyone or just merely dead. Who had known?

Lynnette would have watched from a distance, feverishly writing down notes of the event and all those involved.
