big grin. Amylia was about to speak when she heard a familiar sound.
    She turned, and the farm beast walked up to her for their daily communing. “Apparently, she can find me anywhere.”
    Yadora was impressed and said so as Amylia and the other alpha female had their moment.
    After the communication, the beast returned to the farm and Yadora made dinner.
    Amylia looked at Gyrion. “Are there ever days when there is nothing to do?”
    He lifted her hand to his lips. “Those are the days we do each other.”
    Amylia grinned, Yadora snorted and one of the uncomfortable moments shared by family commenced.
     

Epilogue
     
     
    Mel watched her parents argue, and she was smug when she took the information to her siblings.
    “They are only pretend fighting, Lil. You can come out now. We just can’t see them until tomorrow.”
    Tov gave her a sober look. All his looks were so serious. “How do you know, Mel? They seemed serious.”
    “Dad grabbed the oil. They are having one of those fights.”
    Mel took her place in the schoolroom and held the fruit in her hand, levitating it until it was even with her eyes. She held it there for as long as she could and then started over.
    Like Mom said, there is always time to start over, as long as you mean it to be a better effort. Mom and Dad always make the effort and each child just makes things better.
    With six siblings, Mel was happy to be part of the largest family on Rohul. It made them special and made them stronger. They might not have the brightest strips, but they would be breeding queens and consorts, bringing their people back from the brink. Mel already had her eye on one of the young guards, but it would be another twelve years before she could act on it. Plenty of time for him to grow into those shoulders.
    She smirked and continued her lessons in telekinesis. There was plenty to learn before it was her turn. She wanted to know it all.
