"I will try.  I'll miss you all while I'm gone." she said as she hugged Tinna and Dains.

"We'll miss you too. Knowing you'll be back is all we need to believe in you," Kasra said, giving Goldenscale a hug alongside Rhidik, "We know you are stong, in more than one or two ways, and that you will come back with what you set out to obtain."

(I'm going to bed.  Night, zezmeril)

"And I will also look different, hopefully more like Moonlight." she said as she hugged them all.

(Night)

"No matter how much you  change on the outside, we will always accept you back in as who you are,"Rhidik said with a smile, "You will have plenty of proof as to who you are."

"Hopefully." she said with a smile.  "So, how big is this tree going to grow?" she asked.

"It wont grow much until we replant it out in the forest. We just excelerated the growth cycle only to get it this big. It is back on a normal growth cycle," Tina said, placing a ball like ornament on the top of the tree.

(My muse is gone...)

"Oh." she said, amazed.

"Seeing as you'll be leaving tomorrow and wont be here for the end of the month, you can have you gift from us now," Kasra said, holding out a small colorfully wrapped box, "It's not much, but we all contributed to its creation."

"You didn't have to." she said.  "Just knowing you all is a great privelege."

"We give all our family friends presents like this. It wouldn't feel right leaving you out, especialy after everything you've done for us," Kasra said, still holding the box, "Go ahead and open it. We hope you like it."

Goldenscale smiled and took the gift.  She then began to open it.

Inside the box was a folded quilt. Sitting in the middle of the quilt was a small silver replica of the willow. "Dains and Tina worked together to make that figure. We all worked together to make the quilt," Kasra smiled, "The quilt has a simple enchantment to prevent it from tearing or cutting so it should last you a long time."

"We each have a patch in the middle of the quilt showing what you've done for us," Dains said as Tina, Rhithin, and Kasra gathered together.

Goldenscale smiled as she gently took out the replica and se it down.  She then got the quilt out and opened it gently.  "Thank you all.  I shall treasure these forever." she said, looking up at them with a look of pure happiness.

"We knew you would treasure them so we made sure we put our best into them. We may have the money to get whatever we wish, but we prefer to make our own items. The only thing we own that we didn't make is the house itself. It's much makes everything more important to us, and those we wish to share with," Kasra said, "I have a box you can have to keep the figure in if you want it. It used to be used to hold m medecine, but I no longer need it."

"I'll find the perfect place for it.  Thank you all so much." she said as she hugged all of them.
