To Welcome a Halfling

Faey customs had always been upheld inside the Squall Manor for generations. Even before the rift between humans began, the first of the Squalls lived inside what used to be a small house at the edge of the kingdom's coastal cliff where the strongest wind blew.

When Amara Squall heard from a servant that her first born had brought the queen candidate to their home, she immediately made arrangements to welcome their guest.

She instructed everyone to their stations and went upstairs where she heard Ari and the girls were. She didn't know how her daughters had known their elder brother had come home, but she saw the three scramble upstairs in excitement for his return.

It wasn't until she heard blasts and felt a surge of magical aura that she realized something wasn't right. Amara was at the bottom of the stairs when fire erupted on the left side of the second floor's hallway. Her almond-shaped chestnut brown eyes widened.

That was where Arikyer's room was!
