"My amber relative where fighting over an emtpy throne at the time of my birth. My mother thought is to be safer for me and for her if I would stay hidden as child. Her sister Moire knew about me, but nobody else."
I was raised in a shadow where the people believed my mother to be a kind of goddess or better a very powerful spirit of the sea. I was a token of luck for those people. I was cherished, pampered, spoiled. I had friends to play with, a whole village looking after me, raising me , teaching me.
The people who raised my call themselves the Children between Sun and Sea. They are seafarers traveling the sea among the Thousand Islands. I learned to swim and dive when I learned to walk. And I learned to sail so early in my life that I can not remember a time without boats.
The children between Sun and Sea believe that a name give power. So the every child is given a call name, mine was Pania, so that the spirits can not whisk away the child.
I learned later that names, the true name of a person hold real power, so even now when I travel I often do not give my name."
Maeve explains.

Dio thinks a bit she then nods
"I see, so you were raised by your mother who kept you safe and away from potential danger at that point. That is sweet of her to do so she must be a kind woman.
So your father after that showd you the courts. What was his reaction to your existence? And where did he bring you and what did he teach you?"
She smiles kindly
"If i askk to much or to personal things let me know. "

"My father did not know about me till after the war." There is a short amused smile from Maeve.
"My father took part in the War against Amber and tried to get into Rebma via my mother, impersonating someone else. He got not very far but my mother got what she wanted from him.
He learned that Princess Llewella had a daughter and came to find out if I was his. I think he likes to have a daughter, he complains that I do not spend enough time in the Courts. He said that I'm one of the few good thing that came out of this war for him.
He took me to HelgramWays, to my relatives there. He legitimatize me as his daughter, made me a member of his House. He taught me shape-shifting and about the Logrus.
When I came to the Courts I already had walked the Pattern, I traversed the Logurs to honor my father and his family."

Dio rests her head on her hands listening intently to Maeve she smiles.
"That is just lovely that your father was so open and accepting. Introducing you to his family. Is it a big family? What does Helgramways look like?
And do you still see or speak to him often?"

"I should see my both of my parents more often. Both living at opposite ends of the Universe, literal, making this a bit more difficult. Both are also of the opinion that as my parents they are entitled to the right to know what is best for me. Which can get a tiny bit exhausting."
Maeve smiles softly.
"But you are right. I should go and see him soon."
"House Helgram is not so big, my grandparents, my father, an aunt, my greataunt and her husband, several cousins."

"Well your families do sound lovely, on either side of the universe."
Dio smiles "Thank you for sharing and being open with me. "
She looks st the door and frowns.
"How would Dirk be by now?"

Their walk leads them to the South Wing. One of the new additions to the castle which was constructed after the death of King Random. The place is a vast collection of empty rooms, undecorated corridors, and a humming-whistling draft from a cracked window somewhere.
"Food and furnishing will be brought to you shortly," a servant tells them. One of the good ones, Maeve recalls from her interviews.
Soon after, Dirk comes by bringing a housewarming gift of wine.

By now Dio is partially laying on the floor listening to Maeve speak about Chaos.
"It is funny that i have lived so long in Chaos but i have seen barely a thing. Perhaps one day....."
She lets her words trail ofd.

Maeve sit next to her and telling her about herself.
"Family is always complicate, mine are proud and powerful." She looks for the right word. " They are a family but the does not mean everybody like each other or we do no quarrel."
"Dirk, we will or hear if he really runs off to forest, I hope not."
"I have no intention to lecture you on things you do not want to know. But if you want I can tell you about the Religion of the Serpent and the History of the Courts. To know such things I think, it is you birthright."
" So I only can tell you how it has been told to me and what I have read in the books of the seminary."

Dio nods,
"I suppose i am just worried about him, strange though, why would i worry."
She shakes her head
"Anyway i would love to hear more. Perhaps one day i can safely return to Chaos without being confined in the convent again. But it would be useful for me to know right?"

"Have you met many males in your life? When you think of Dirk does it feel like a flies in your stomach."
When the furniture arrives and hopefully some logs for the fireplace, she take one of the log, takes out a dagger and cuts a piece off and starts to work on it.
She also set a fire going to warm up the place for the night.

Dio thinks at that question a while. If the furniture areives she even first helps settle things.
She looks at Maeve.
"Well. I have met a man named Cody, he is a pitdiver in the Abyss u thaught him shapeshifting while i was at Lord Suhuys.
There was Dirk who i met at Lord Suhuys and later in my dreams.. he even showd me his ship. It was lovely. He promised to take me to sea...
Then there was Dante who I only met in dreams till recently.
Oh and Brian... i learned alot of his past..."
She rhen laughs
"I have no parasite. In my stomach. But i do feel different thinking about him... could it be some sorcery?" She asks worried

"When people fall in love they describe describe the feeling that have like having butterflies or flies in their stomach."
"Falling in love gives you tingling feeling here." Maeve place a hand on her stomach. "when you talk about the person when, you think about the person or when you talk to the person.
Some people blush and feel hot and nervous when the person the fall in love is present.
Some people call love a kind of magic. But it is not real magic."

Dio looks a bit surprised...
"Love.. but i am not allowed such feelings.. The sisters said love is a disease. They said it is pain. And can cause to impure thoughts and acts."
Dio falls silent and thinks...
"But then again the sisters did keep me hidden away and used me for all the hard chores...
But Maeve... what should i do if i did catch love?"
