vatt paced the room as he awaited the news of his wife and child. a mendor came forward with a small blanket her face looked sad

"Here is your daughter. I'm sorry sir she didn't make it she lost to much blood. She did name her though with her last breath she wanted your daughter's name to be Vekkess."

she handed vatt the small child he looked down tears falling from his eyes as little Vekkess grabbed his finger in her sleep. he gently rocked her and muttered softly "oh Katta i wonder if you saw her before you passed into the eternal alchemy she looks just like you and will probable grow as beautiful as you. oh Katta my ice queen I'm going to be lost with out you."

he held tiny Vekkess close to him and tried to calm himself. he held her through his wife's funeral and as they set her ashes down the stream he made Vekkess wave her tiny hand.

Vekkess stood against a wall her ears flat as she could hear her father arguing with her professer

"she summoned an elemental that and used it to mock me i have had enough of this Vatt she is not allowed in my classes anymore you hear me"

"be reasonable vikk I'm sure she didn't mean it"

"no enough she is out find another teacher for her"

vatt came out of the room and Vekkess looked up at him

"come on squirt" he sighed "lets go home"

she came forward and took his hand holding onto it tightly when they where half way home she muttered softly "he called you an iced crazed idiot i couldn't just stand there and let him insult you"

he patted her head "its alright squirt vikk was an old coot anyway" he smiled as he got a laugh out of his daughter "what do you think of home schooling"

"that sounds fun then i can spend even more time with daddy!" she bounced in excitement and vatt laughed.

Vekkess was working on a project her dad had givven her before he had left for the reactor she had solved it and couldnt wait for him to come home so she could show him. There was a knock on the door and curiouse taking the ball puzzle with her she opened the door a peace keeper was there.

"are you Vekkess daughter of Vatt."

"yes sir." she answered wondering what her father had done

"I'm sorry but the reactor blew your father" the peace keeper took a deep breath "your father didn't survive."

the ball puzzle dropped from her hands. she ran forward pushing past the peace keeper running as fast as her feet could to the reactor she saw peace keepers dragging bodies from the wreckage she saw her father's and fell on top of it crying "no no no you promised daddy you promised you wouldn't leave me alone yet." she cried on his body she noticed in his hand was clutched a picture they had edited together with her mom in it she gently took it from his hands and closed his eyes.

Vekkess gently dumped her father's ashes into the river as they were swept away she waved her hand softly "i hope you find momma daddy"

when she returned home she went into her father's room where she wasn't allowed and began to work on cleaning it out she cried as in almost every possible spot was ice sculptures of her and her mother together images that could never be she cried as she got rid of them and when the house was finally empty she cried after she sold it with a back pack on she headed for lion's arch following the pulse of her mark that she had gotten after she had cremated her father wondering where it would take her.
