D'Honaire

Admittedly, Annafrid's story was one of the odder stories I have heard in awhile, but nothing that, in Champlaine's opinion, that should warrant barring her from marriage to Jarlath.

Everything since arriving here on this version of her old world had been odd. Odd, but at the same time wonderful..

She'd been mourning the death of her daughter, who'd seemed o have indeed followed Fred....into death. Then, not only did "her" son appear again, alive and well, but her daughter was returned to her....in a fashion (in a fashion, for while Champlaine knew very well that the Lady Fredrina was an "analog"....she still was her daughter). As well as all the other Freds and the other members of the family.

Why should she consider Annafrid's odd story....grounds enough to bar her from entry into the D'Honaire family by marriage to Jarlath? Things had changes so much that not only was she accepting a dragon as part of the family (strange indeed since D'Honaires had generations of dragon slayers within it's lineage), that she was pleased and happy to have grandchildren who were dragonets (By Odin, they were just so cute!) She had a daughter-in-law (Hannah) who'd just foaled a lovely little unicorn mare, and Champlaine was happy indeed as a grandmother several times over.

Before coming to Terra Prime, she'd feared that Fred would die in a dragon slaying incident, and the name D'Honaire would die out.

That all said, she'd grown to accept and love them all. She liked the others who'd the Freds had chosen as their life companions. Some had odder stories than Annafrid, so why bar her?

So, after telling Annafrid about the family she was going to join (and join she would, for Champlain had seen the look of love in Annafrid's eyes for Jarlath), Lady Champlaine welcomed Annafrid into the family by giving her wholehearted appoval.

"That done, we've just got to set a date, send out invitations," Champlaine says, "Then there is a choice of wedding dresses....."

Annafrid smiled and told her about the dream of a wedding...and the dress she had seen.
