Finduilas walked slowly down the wooden plank walkway of the Teras City’s docks a soft smile playing across her face. It had been two years prier that they had had their very first date sitting right here beneath the cloudy sky. The very thought of she and Gibbon’s first date brought butterflies to her stomach once again. It had been a magical night for her and she would never forget it; it was the night she had learned what love was. Sitting down with her feet hanging over the edge of the peer she continued to smile and closed her eyes reflecting silently upon that night. It had been a long time ago but to Finny it seemed as if it had been just yesterday as all her feelings of excitement and enjoyment came running back to her in a tidal wave. Sighing happily she pictured in her mind’s eye the expression that had come to Gibbon’s face when she had crawled up into his lap and kissed him so deeply as to cheer him up. Here on the deck had been one of the very few times if not the only time that she had ever seen her beloved cry. The fact that he had cried though and that she had so desperately wanted to see him smile again had made the werewolf realize that she loved him. She had loved him since he had been kind to her upon the shore, where they had met, and she continued to love him to this day. In fact the two of them had been nearly married for an entire year now and Finduilas could not have been any happier. Gibbon had brought so many joys into her life and had taught her so much. He had taught her to believe in herself and not to have to fear not being accepted. Her beloved had become so much to her and she knew that he would only come to mean more. Finduilas loved Gibbon with her entire heart. |

The sheer beauty of the docks this quite night in Taras. The water crashed gently into the shore and underneath there legs. Gibbon only smiled when Finny kissed him. They were settling in once again in the place Fin called home. It would take a bit longer for him. That is why he wasn't content yet. He had something to prove soon. He knew this but wasn't going to burden anyone with this, now. Here was the place they had there first date. Not normally the best place to have such, but it was what Gibbon wanted. It was near Fin's place of work at the time. They grew much since then, but never did he do what he did that night again since. CRY! Fin brought out emotions he never knew he had anymore. Love what the best of those emotions. He loves her then and he loves her even more now. There plans for the future had him thinking deeply. About his personal goals and there plans for little ones. Things were at a millstone now; there was no turning back now. It was only time till they had there kids and he claimed what was rightful his. Or what he thought was his. "I love more than the world itself. We should start our family tonight. After this monumental date here." he smiled and kissed Fin passionately. |

Her hand slowly made its way up to the side of Gibbon’s face as she returned his passionate kiss with one of her own. As their lips broke apart after a few moments she stared his into eyes a gentle smile playing across her lips. Finduilas was speechless out of excitement and happiness as she kept her hand on his face and leaned in for a second kiss. When the second of their kisses came to an end she licked her lips and smiled at him before finally speaking aloud her thoughts, “Tonight would be a wonderful night.” Her eyes of emerald green remained fixed upon his for a moment longer before she broke her eyes away and stared out to sea. Letting out a sigh of contentment she slipped one of her hands into his and moved closer to him resting her head upon his shoulder. In a soft voice she spoke again the smile still on her face as she did so, “Gibbon I love you more than anything else also.” Her eyes flickered upwards away from the water’s surface up towards the sky and her smile grew only bigger. Lifting her free hand up she pointed towards the heavens above just as a lone shooting star flew by. “Look” she whispered, “Make a wish.” Closing her eyes she made a silent wish for her and Gibbon to be blessed with children in the near future and for Gibbon to at last feel at home here in Imythess beside her. Opening her eyes she turned towards her beloved once again and smiled. “Remember?” she asked, “Do you remember there was a shooting star the night we had our first date here?” Finduilas hoped he did remember for on that night Gibbon had made a wish like she had, and hers had come true, they had been together ever since, but she still did not know if his had. “Gibbon, did your wish from that night ever come true? You never told me what it was; having said you would tell me if it came to be? Has it come to be?” she waited quietly for his answer her hands now clasping onto his tightly as she waited like an excited child to hear his answer. |

Gibbon remembered the shooting star that wonderful night. The wish Fin make did come true, but his wish was another story. He only hopes his goal of being the keeper of the flame, the god of fire would come true. He was still far from that and needed plenty of help on his way to that. That included Finny and her new goal of being a druid. He only hoped there starting of a family wouldn't interfere in there goals. This star was different it had a twinkle to it that stood out a bit more than the last. The shades of green and red seemed odd. But he knew it meant something. He looked at Fin and knew not how to answer the question before him. Should he answer honestly or put a sugar coated twist to it to seem sweet. He paused and looked back up at the sky. The star long gone, but always present in his mind. "Where am I to go from here?" that thought slipped out verbally rather than in his head. He realized this and covered his mouth in embarrassment. "I can explain, I still seek the roll of a god. But unlike before, I won't put our love in jeopardy. I won't ever be more than a calling of my bird away. When you need me just call for Diablo and send a message with him too Me." he just thought that out and knew that was a brilliant idea. Why didn't he think of that before? His Phoenix is the perfect emergency call to him from Fin and back. Now he knew he could achieve there goals with no lost. Gibbon looked into Fin's eyes and knew things were coming together nicely now. This star was different it seemed to enlighten him with a wisdom he never knew he had. More great ideas raced through his head and he couldn't contain himself. He kissed Fin and stood looking into the bright night sky. "Great things are to come, my darling. Great things." |

Finduilas was caught quite off guard by the words that slipped from Gibbon’s mouth that were then followed by a tidal wave of some more. “Um…” she began to say staring at him in slight confusion at his out burst of explanations. Scratching her head slightly she was unsure of what to say or even what to do now knowing that the man she loved had once considered putting their love to the side in order to gain the role of God of Fire. She wanted to both cry in knowing once that she had meant so little him next to fire and both hug him tightly at knowing that was no longer the case. Her breath caught in her chest and she choked back tears as she was suddenly pulled to her feet and into a passionate kiss by Gibbon. Pulling away she looked down at her feet and licked her lips trying to think of what to say when her thoughts were disrupted by Gibbon’s remark about there being great things to come. Crossing her arms over her chest she looked up at her husband again with a look of confusion upon her face. “Great things?” she asked him as she held back tears. “What great things? You are telling me now right before we were going to go start a family that before were we married, yet were engaged that you were going to allow your desire to be a god come between us” she said now all choked up as tears began to spill down her face. “I am proud that you want to become something so great… but even with the help of Lil’ D, how do you expect us to have a family now?” Finduilas said as she fell down to her knees and stared into the waters of the docks. Breathing heavily she wiped her tears away and stared at her reflection that she now saw by the light of the stars in the heavens above. “I guess this time my wish of being blessed with children tonight will not come true… It must not be my turn to have my wish upon a star come true… it must mean that it is your turn Gibbon” she said as she turned her head and looked at him. Standing up once again she pushed her blonde curls out of her eyes. Taking a deep breath she looked at him and closed her eyes for a moment before speaking again, “Gibbon… Good Luck… I hope you reach your goal… and know that this is not the end of our relationship… but please do understand that I am not happy right now.” With all that said she let out another breath of shaking air and closed her eyes as she made to walk away. Hardly a few feet away however she stopped and turned back looking at Gibbon and walked back towards him. Looking into his eyes she smiled softly at him and reached up stroking his face. “Please know and never forget that I have chosen you Gibbon… I love you… I love you so much and I do not want this to come between us… but right now… I need time to think… I need to rethink what I want in life… I thought we both wanted children right now… but I am starting to think different… maybe I should just focus on becoming a howler and you on becoming the God of Fire” she said before standing on her toes and kissing him on the cheek. “We are not ready for children yet are we?” she asked with a heavy sigh. |

Gibbon stood in shock to the initial response to his revelation. He did not expect the sudden disapproval and lack of support to his goal. Then again, he knew the truth wouldn't go down well. “I am proud that you want to become something so great… but even with the help of Lil’ D, how do you expect us to have a family now?” Fin said. And this struck a nerve. It was a raw truth to him and that it must be addressed. But before a reply came to his mind, Fin went on, his emotions waxed and waned with each statement. He was hurt at points she said and glad at others. His goals seemed clear to him. Become God of Fire and have a nice family with Finny. It was not, it was rather more complex. He knew Fin wanted a family and so did he. But for him to achieve his goal, he needs to sacrifice the other. That star gave him his answer. Gibbon stood and took the kiss from Fin. He then replied, "I am ready for all this. The children, the fire, and your love. I can handle all three. I want you to know that my desire to become what I feel I am is strong. But my love for you is so much stronger. My desire for children would only match my love for you. I want children." He paused and looked in Fin's eyes. "Are you truly ready for all this? I understand you need time. But I'm telling you I'll be here when you are ready and have made your decision. I need you to be my backbone, without you my goal would not be obtainable. We are one. We can do anything. Remember this forever." He kissed her so passionately the love flowed from him to her and back. "One goal, one love." that was the message the star gave him. “Now to act on it.” He thought. |

Finduilas was surprised when Gibbon did not become angry with her at her response to him telling her of his desire to become the God of Fire. She had not expected what happened next to come about; he explaining that he felt he could handle a family, their relationship and attempting to gain his wish all at once. Smiling at Gibbon she kept her hand upon his face as she listened to his words, all the while tears continuing to spill down her cheeks but this time not out of sadness. Closing her eyes she took a deep breath trying to both calm herself and settle her racing heart, upon opening her eyes she was greeted by the most passionate kiss. Gibbon had taken her in his arms once again and pressed his lips to hers as he did his very best to express all his love for she and the family that they would possibly be having someday together. Smiling she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him back in return all the while more tears washing down her cheeks like a waterfall. When their love filled kiss ended at last Finny was left entirely speechless and could only smile and nod at her husbands words. Remaining in his arms she rested her head upon his chest and listened to his heart beating for a moment as she attempted to collect her thoughts and figure out what to say. Wetting her lips she finally released her love from her tight embrace and looked up into his handsome face, smiling softly at him. Speaking at long last she spoke in a soft voice and said, “I will always remember and know that you and I are one and that together we can achieve anything; I promise I will always remember that.” Reaching up she again stroked one of his weathered cheeks and smiled as her eyes remained fixed on his. “I want to have a family with you someday; I really truly do but I still question whether right now is the correct time. Starting a family is a huge step, one even bigger than when you and I were wed” she explained to her husband as her head came to rest upon his chest once again. “I trust your judgment however, if you honestly feel you can handle the pressure from all three of your desires I will not stand in your way, I will be your backbone,” she told him as she snuggled once again into his arms, breathing in deeply his smell of burnt ash and hot steel. “I will always be here for you Gibbon, I promise you that, and that includes baring you children, now and in the future” Finduilas said as she moved her head so that her eyes met his as she leaned forward kissing him yet again with all the love she had for him. |

Gibbon smiled after Finny kissed him. He knew what he wanted and that would happen soon enough. But what concerned him was that Fin need to decide her future too. It seemed she was content with what Gibbon wanted and that didn't settle well with him. He went from smiling to a bit of a frown now. As he looked upon the water and sky again. "I ask you if you are ready for a family?" he paused and looked down at the water. "What do want and dream for? Your personal desires besides our love and family? What do you want for yourself? It is ok to be selfish with some goals. We need personal goals. Do want to become this Howler you talk about? How about rebonding with the pack? I could ask a million more question but I only want one right now." he know was concerned and began to tear a bit. He knew she needed private goals like him. And if she couldn't have them too. He shouldn't go for his. "You don't need to answer any of that. I know the answer and it hurts to admit this. But your right we aren't ready yet. We both have too much to strive for before we can truly settle down. But like I said I'm ready when that time comes." He hugged Fin and gave her a gentle kiss. "One goal, One love" he whispered to her in her ear. |

Finny began to cry once again when she saw Gibbon began to tear up and he said he knew she was right that they were not ready yet to start a family. Wrapping her arms around him she returned his gentle kiss when he gave her one and snuggled close. Her sobs became caught up in her throat as she attempted to speak but could not so only shook her head. She could tell that the man she loved was starting to doubt whether or not he should go for his own goals now and she did not want to stand in his way, that would not be being a good wife or being the backbone he needed. “I told you Gibbon I will not stand in your way… I will not be anything but your backbone… I was granted my wish… it is your turn now…” Finduilas whispered as she stared up into Gibbon’s eyes. “I want you to have your wish come true… I will not be selfish and stand in the way of you becoming what you desire, no matter how I feel or want… I am happy enough to be your wife and to stand at your side… and while you are away reaching your goal to become the master of fire, I will be here studying to become the best Howler I can be…” she told her husband as she broke away from him and came to sit down on the dock’s edge her feet hanging down into the water. “You are right though love, at this moment in our lives neither of us are ready to become parents, we will just keep our family just the two of us, plus Lil’ D for now” Finny said as she let out a huge sigh, she had wanted to become a mother desperately but knew that her wants would have to wait a bit longer. Drying her tears she took a deep breath and calmed her pounding heart and stared up towards the stars trying not to feel selfish at that moment. |

Gibbon sat next to Fin. He only looked at her eyes as she talked about being not ready for kids. He only wanted what was best for the two of them and that right now wasn't kids. "We will have them. It's only a matter of time. I dearly want them now and so do you. But as you said, we have are live to live right now. And settling would be wrong to do. We are so young, and have lots of years to live. If we play are cards right." he laughed a bit at that last statement. "We will achieve all are goals if we truly believe we can." he grabbed her hand and they stood up. "Let's go back to the inn and get a room before it’s too late. We can talk more there. If you want?" Gibbon was finally sure on his goals and Finny's too. The star or whatever told him so that night. He only hoped in time they would be able to settle down and raise that family. He did worry he was headed for troubled adventures too. He might need to go to bounty hunting to raise money for the two of them if necessary. To be a god you need to understand the magnitude of the world around you. Gibbon needs to understand that more now. It may be impossible, but impossible can be possible with help. |
