The large blue pool that that water from the waterfall collects in. The water is ice cold but refreshing if you can stick the cold and venture in.

Queen Tia orbs down.
"Ahhh" she breathes in the freh air *It smells so different to Timlari, a new place, a new smell* She smiled as she stood there, she eyes closed, and silently inhaled and ex-haled the air.
Gradually she opened her eyes and walked over to the edge, staring deeply into the water

Istari rode through Chepi forest on his trusted steed, Thunder. The horse swooped in and out of the trees like the wind. It narrowingly missed every branch that was in its way, the King's horse was th fastest in the lands of Timlari.
The horse came to a binding hault as Istari saw his wife. The horse gentley trotted over to her. "Come for some alone time?" He asked, he could leave if she wanted to be alone to re-conder her thoughts.

She turned slightly startled by the sudden appearance of Istari and his horse Thunder
"Sort of, yes. Needed to escape the hassles of Kiesha and Tillif and our lands for a while, but come, join me.... if you have time" she looked at him, her eyes look saddened "I never see you these days" she looked back out to the water

Mirali moved silently through the trees the Queen safely ensconsed on his back, The years had been hard for both rider and horse but neither looked any older than they had 15 years ago and had been visting this place to see the grave of kieras daughter Jordanna. Today though was just a quiet ride through the forest that had happened to bring them this way. Pausing and reigning the horse in at the sounds of hooves on the forest floor she paused holding her breath to see if the rider was friend or foe even now in these times of peace albeit fragile she found it hard to relax when she was out always expecting Tullaris her once true love to rear up in front of her and create some kind of trouble.
Smiling she nudged mirali out of the trees and towards two people by the waterside that she knew.
"It is a beautiful evening that is for sure!" she smiled forgoing the usual formalities with these two old friends

Istari glanced her a smile. He hopped off Thunder and tied him to a near-by branch. Slightly he lifted his pale blue robes and sat on the rock next to Tia. He kept looking at her. She was beautiful. He sometimes thought if he deserved such a goddess as a wife.
The moment was cut short when Kiera approached. My stood up giving her the propper formal address. "Your Majesty." He gave a slight bow.
He sat himself back on the large grey rock. The slow trickling of the waterfall made it sound so peaceful, like a haven, a safe haven.

Tia to arose when Kiera entered, looking just as beautiful as she had the day they'd met all those years ago.
"Queen Kiera" she curstied and then smiled
"It has been far to long my dear friend, far to long!" She walked over to her friend and gave her a hug and then stepped back.
She brushed down her royal robes, these days it was a very rare sight to see Tia out of her royal robes, a very rare sight indeed.
Tia noted how well Queen Kiera looked "You look well Kiera" she smiled although silently wondering where they years had gone so wrong for herself, Tia these days looked older than she used to, the years had not been so kind to her as Kiera

Kiera smiled and inclined her head to both Istari and Tia before returning Tias embrace,
"Indeed it has but finally at last it is that there is to be peace amongst us at Chepi at least for a small while" she smiled
"You are both looking well" she added politely although to be honest Tia had retained none of her youthfulness that she had the few years earlier, While the years had been hard for Kiera they had not affected her outwardly Tia had obviously taken the strain both physically and mentally. Kiera clasped her friends hand before looking up to istari
"I trust you have been looking after her well?" she asked a slight smile playing around her lips.

Istari looked pleased. It had been such a long time since all three had been together in such happy circumstances. No funerals, wars or enemies to be seen for miles. Things looked like peace for both Kingdoms.
Istari stood once more and help out his arms to hug Kiera. Afterall, they were all friends. "I have been trying. But the kids seem to be taking their toll on us!" He said with a laugh. "Getting more mischievious! Especially as they get older, Tillif is starting to find his feet, getting cheeky!"
The long and tall of it was that he loved Tia deeply, but they had kids now, two kid. Kiesha and Tillif. They had big responsibilities now, bigger than before.

Tia smiled "Mischevious is not the word I would use" she smiled She glanced at Istari and smiled, she truly loved Istari, her whole heart was once more devoted to him, like it had been all those years ago when they first met, when she first lay eyes upto him, the second she fell in love with him. She smiled at remembering such a thought The truth was she felt the same about him now, only now it was no-longer just them, they didn't have just each other, they had a family and a kingdom, both of which took all their time up and it seemed they had no time just to be with each other anymore....
"I'm glad these lands are at peace, it is about bloody time" she laughed, but once she started laughing she could not stop. She had a laugh that sounded like melodies floating though the air, it's was easy on the ears.
Once she managed to get a grip of herself she smiled "I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me!"
"So dearest Kiera, please tell me how is life with you? What are the one going's?"

Kiera nodded slowly and smiled
"It is a long time since i have seen either of the children" she said softly it still pained her that although she had never been lonely she had never found someone special enough that she would be happy to rasie children of her own with, losing Jordanna had left a child sized void in her that only a child could fill.
"Things have been going well here, the court is once again stable there seems to be no offencive moves from the Dark Elves in Dagon Ur so we are officaially at peace although it is hard to believe, people are getting on with their lives and it is nice to be able to take a walk and no longer have to wrry about demons! What is the news of Timlari?"

Istari laughed to himself still thinking of the children.
*Im dreading going back to the court, they have probably destroyed it!*
"Timlari? She is doing fine, thank you. All is stable, peace, calm, all we could hope for." He comented looked towards Tia.
Istari remembered Jordanna. When she died it topped Kiera over the edge. Maybe spending more time with Tia and his kids could help her with the grieving process.
He untied Thunder and whispered into his ear to travel home. He slapped the stallion on the buttocks and it took off at a speed.

"Aye, Timlari is doing well, just the usual day-to-day milarkee that goes with running a kingdom"

Kiera smiled and nodded
"I will wont I? I am afraidI have been neglecting my duties in spoiling your children!" she smiled although the laugh she let loose was tinged with sadness and she sank down on a rock beside Istari and Tia, "yiou should all come to a party at the courts!"

Istari clasped his hands togethter. "I agree!" He stated about the parties. "Lets host a huge party and invite the two Kingdoms. Keep the peace and a social gathering. Plus you can spoil out kids, although you will be sorry, they will cling to you untill they have all they want!" He said proudly.
"Kiera, may I bring some, not so happy words into the conversation? Tullairs?" He queried. He hadn't heard from that vindictive war-lord in 15 years. Timlari had kept out of all that business.
