The islands of AHSCA were all said to be primitive, devoid of most technology, and it was on one of the islands that composed this nation, not that long ago, that a young lady from Latin Byzantines would be shipwrecked.

On a small ship, Elizabeth de la Roche was writing in her journal, writing her thoughts down on the paper with excellent handwriting. She was quite gifted and was the daughter of one of the ministers of Latin Byzantines' government. As she wrote, a sailor came and said a storm was coming, something which Elizabeth had been preparing for.

The storm came with its fierocity and ruthlessly attacked the ship, soon sinking it to the bottom of the ocean. Elizabeth had been lucky to get onto the life-raft, she used it to navigate her way through the ocean.

The next day, in which the storm had long been over and the sun was bright, with no clouds impeding it, Elizabeth found herself in an unknown island, she had survived the storm, and so did her journal, which was not even stratched by the fierce storm.

Where was this place? What was this place? Was it inhabited? In some time answers to those questions would be provided.

On the island of Corona, it was a hot muggy morning. Mayako awoke from her night's sleep to the sound of hollow materials being moved about. Her brother was working on the hut. "Keinu what are you doing?"

"The storm did a little damage I thought I'd fix it."

"Want me to gather some driftwood?"

"I'll go with you."

Mayako wore a lose wrap of some brown cloth covering her breasts slightly and her vaginal area. Her brother was shirtless but coverd in his lower areas. Both had very taned skin and were the same age. Twins. They came unto the beach to see a stranger amongst them. Far to fair skined to be a Coronan.

"Who is that?"

"I don't know." They approached her cautiously.

"Hello, stranger."

"Who is that?"

"I don't know." They approached her cautiously.

"Hello, stranger."

The stranger came up cautiously towards Mayako and Keino, holding a book in her hand. Her dress was somewhat ruined and she was all soaking wet. She looked at them for a moment, studying them, before she finally began to reply.

"Hello." Elizabeth said warily, she did not know who these people were and did not have it in her to say more. She looked at them again before trying to get some energy in her. "Where am I? Who are these people?" she thought to herself as she looked around.

"She must be a sailor, look at her dress."

"You shipwrecked?" Mayako asked

"She must be a sailor, look at her dress."

"You shipwrecked?" Mayako asked

"I am shipwrecked. A storm destroyed my ship and took away those who were with me."

"Oh dear, what do we do?"

"I don't know." Thunder interupted their conversation as dark and heavy storm clouds moved over.

"Another storm!" More thunder and lightning. "Come." Mayako grabbed the hands of Elizabeth. They took her back to their hut but not before being rained on by the sudden burst of rain.

"Oh dear, what do we do?"

"I don't know." Thunder interupted their conversation as dark and heavy storm clouds moved over.

"Another storm!" More thunder and lightning. "Come." Mayako grabbed the hands of Elizabeth. They took her back to their hut but not before being rained on by the sudden burst of rain.

"Another storm thrown at me." Elizabeth uttered as she sat in the hut. She looked at Mayako and Keino, these two people who were in the hut with her. "Where am I?" Elizabeth asked them. "What island is this?"

"You're on Corona. The east shores."

Keinu came back in from the rain. "Hope this holds, it's pretty intense." He sat down infront of Elizabeth and began to help clean some of her wounds. She was probably injured in violent storm that landed her here.

Keinu came back in from the rain. "Hope this holds, it's pretty intense." He sat down infront of Elizabeth and began to help clean some of her wounds. She was probably injured in violent storm that landed her here.

"Corona?" Elizabeth uttered as she watched Keinu clean her up. Elizabeth looked around for a moment or two before she began to talk again, she was still sitting on a chair, Keinu finished with any wounds.

"The storm...is it finished?"

"It sounds like it is calming down. I will check."

Keinu exited the hut he could see the dark heavy clouds receeding and moving on.

"Looks like this will clear up soon."

"Thank goodness that it will soon depart. However, my problem now is that I am stranded on an island." Elizabeth said.

"Yes you are. Unless people know where you are I'm afraid it's highly unlikely you will be able to leave."

"It will be okay. We're really freindly here. And the weather doesn't get to bad unless we have a hurricane."

"Mayoko."

"What?"

"All you can do is stay here for as long as we think it will take."

"Yes you are. Unless people know where you are I'm afraid it's highly unlikely you will be able to leave."

"It will be okay. We're really freindly here. And the weather doesn't get to bad unless we have a hurricane."

"Mayoko."

"What?"

"All you can do is stay here for as long as we think it will take."

"I am sure that I will one day be able to go back home, but until then I would like to make use of this island. Perhaps you could show me around here." Elizabeth said.

"Well would you like a bath? There is a great hotspring further in the jungle. We also have a tub but, well you will be pretty exposed." Mayako said.

"Well we can show you as far as we can venture." Keino said.

"But we also have a nice oasis in near the hotspring." Mayako interjected for no seemingly apparent reason.

"Well we can show you as far as we can venture." Keino said.

"But we also have a nice oasis in near the hotspring." Mayako interjected for no seemingly apparent reason.

"A bath? I am sure that the storm has given me a shower." Elizabeth said.

"I would like you to show me around, as far as you can venture. You can show me the hotspring for example. I want to know more about this island."

"Well, would you be willing to first help us collect driftwood? I must fix the hut, and at nightfall we will take you out."

"Seeing as we have a lantern we can show you even in the dark."

"Well, would you be willing to first help us collect driftwood? I must fix the hut, and at nightfall we will take you out."

"Seeing as we have a lantern we can show you even in the dark."

"Driftwood? I guess I can help you with that, just lead the way." Elizabeth said, trying to get up from the ground. They walked to a nearby forest and as Keino cut down the trees for driftwood, Mayako and Elizabeth carried it back to the hut.

"A lantern would be helpful during the night." Elizabeth said to Mayako as she carried some driftwood.

Keino put the finishing touches on the hut with the wood they collected just as night fell. They took out the lantner and lit it. "Good thing about shipwrecks, they always leave plenty behind." Keino said.

They left the hut and walked into the jungle with the dim lantern lighting their way. They made it to the natural hotspring. "Here it is."

"The hotspring, it is quite nice." Elizabeth said as they came to the hotspring. She did not want to get in at the moment, she thought it would be good just to admire the scenery. "Do you two come here often?" Elizabeth asked.

"Yes quite often, if the well is low on water we will come here to bathe instead. Sometimes in stormy weather."

"Come further." He led them to a giant rock which they all climbed atop. It was an outlook of the cove which was black as ink with the absence of moonlight.

"Come further." He led them to a giant rock which they all climbed atop. It was an outlook of the cove which was black as ink with the absence of moonlight.

Elizabeth listened to Keinu talk about the hotspring before they walked to the cove. "There is no light, the outlook of this cove is black as ink." Elizabeth remarked as she observed the outlook from her place on the rock. Elizabeth looked at the others for a moment before her eyes turned back to the outlook, she was thinking about things.

"Yes it usually looks better in the moonlight."

"Yes it usually looks better in the moonlight."

"When will the moonlight come?"

"When the Luna creates a full moon."

"When the Luna creates a full moon."

"I think that is being done now." Elizabeth said, pointing to the coming full moon in the sky, beginning to bestow light upon the overlook.

"Ah beautiful!"

"Luna works her magic yet again."

"Ah beautiful!"

"Luna works her magic yet again."

Elizabeth looked as the moon brought light to the overlook, giving her quite the nice view of the overlook. After a while, Elizabeth looked at Keino and Mayako. "Do you have a place where I could sleep?" she asked.

"You stay with us." Keino said

"Our hut may be small but it's home. We welcome you to stay." Mayako responded.

"I sleep outside if get's too crowded." Keino said

"You stay with us." Keino said

"Our hut may be small but it's home. We welcome you to stay." Mayako responded.

"I sleep outside if get's too crowded." Keino said

"Thank you for letting me stay with you." Elizabeth said. "Hopefully you will be able to show me more of this island in the future."

"You are welcome." Keino said.

They took her back to their hut and prepared a space for her.

"You are welcome." Keino said.

They took her back to their hut and prepared a space for her.

"Thank you." Elizabeth said as she entered the space prepared for her. "Do you have any food or drink?" she asked.

"We have some berries and water." Mayako said. "Fresh too, collected from the rains we've had."

"We have some berries and water." Mayako said. "Fresh too, collected from the rains we've had."

(Perhaps we could fast forward?)

"That is alright with me. I would like some please." Elizabeth said.

(Sure, we could either sail off the island to get you home, or you accept your stranded position and well become a spouse to Keino)

(Sure, we could either sail off the island to get you home, or you accept your stranded position and well become a spouse to Keino)

(A spouse to Keino? That sounds alright. Would we have her live on the island, I assume? Plus, would we have her establish contact with her parents, etc?)

(Yes we will have her able to contact her parents.)


As time passed it seemed Elizabeth became acustomed even embracing of her new island life. Homesickness had faded though the thoughts probably lingered in her mind about her mother and father. Elizabeth had really adjusted though, now she walked talked and dressed like and islander. (Something a native island girl would wear
http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g310/AShadow17/Nation%20States/beachwear.jpg)


"Elizabeth," Keino said. Keino had fallen in love and he kept wanting to ask her to be his mate. But he would lose his nerve. "I think I may be able to know a way to get you to communicate to your home. The capital has a satalite phone. Most circumstances it's not for civilan use but perhaps Duchess Shino will let you. It will be a tough trip to get to Aurora but I can do it."

(Yes we will have her able to contact her parents.)

(Have we fast forwarded by years? I cannot remember if I planned out Elizabeth's age but I think it was around fourteen or so)

Elizabeth seemed to be able to adapt to her life on the island, having been stranded for so long. She still had the items she carried when she survived the shipwreck combined with some new items she recieved from her island friends. When she had been told she could contact her home, she became interested in that.

"I think it would be a good idea, but are you sure though? If Duchess Shino will not let me to it, you'd have taken me there for nothing." Elizabeth said. A part of her did want to go to Aurora and establish contact with her homeland.

(I think we can say a few years have passed)

"I know, but I am sure your mama and papa are wondering about you. I know my mama and papa would have if I were gone for so long." Though they had no idea of how much time had passed. Coronaiens never kept accurate time or clanaders they just moved with the flow.

"I'll leave it up to you, Liza."

Elizabeth thought about it for a moment or two before she decided. "I think they would probably be wondering about me. Sure, let us go and see if we can establish contact with them."

(A few years? I think I can have Elizabeth's age at 14 to 16, I suppose)

(Yeah that will be perfect)

Kino led her out to the raft they commonly used for fishing. He set the sail and shoved off from the shore line. "Oh my, I forgot to mention, tonight is my sister's passage right. Tonight she becomes woman. It's a big cerimoney big deal for her. My passage right was long while ago. Before you arrived. So now Keino is man as well. How does one become woman from your homeland?"

(How old is Keino? I think she could be fourteen, I guess)

"Her passage right? Am I able to see it? Also, as for becoming a woman in my homeland, I guess it was when one became eighteen and turned into an adult, for I believe eighteen is the age when a child becomes an adult."

(Keino would be between 16-17. )

"Yes you will be. It will mean plenty to her if you are there, we've both grown close to you." As the hours passed the sea began to grow rough and the sky dark. Keino was calmly navigating through the growingly choppy sees. A storm was brewing.

(Elizabeth will be fourteen, I think the ages will work out)

"That is good to hear. By the way, when shall be the passage right ceremony be? Also, do you see the storm brewing?" Elizabeth said before her eyes turned to the brewing storm.

(They had already set sail, so just modoify Elizabeth to mention the growing storm)

"Late into the night it will start. We will be back in plenty time. Yeah looks like there is a storm blowing in. Hold on tight to me. "

She did just that and they navigated through rain wind and waves. They finally arrived on Aurora Island where the rain was still falling. The politcal headquarters once a military bunker now was the area where Shino and her husband ruled.

They entered the chamber and took to their knees.

"Milady, Grand Leader and Duchess, Sir Grand Duke and Husband to our Honerable Lady, we come requesting a favor of you."

"Rise." Shino said. "What is it I may do for you?"

"I Keino of Corona. This girl is not an islander. She comes from another land far away. She has lived with me on Corona, since she washed ashore. It's been long since she has contacted her mother and father. It's time she does."

"What is your name dear?" Shino asked to Elizabeth.

"What is your name dear?" Shino asked to Elizabeth.

Elizabeth looked at Duchess Shino, studying her for a moment or two before she began to speak calmly. "My name is Elizabeth and what Keino says is true." She looked at Shino again and then her husband before waiting for a response.

George, Shino's husband gave a nod of agreement. "I understand my dear. Please come with me."

Shino led them to another chamber which held a satalite phone. The phone was usually only used for politcal business but this was the exception. "There you are." Shino said.

Shino led them to another chamber which held a satalite phone. The phone was usually only used for politcal business but this was the exception. "There you are." Shino said.

Elizabeth thanked Shino and then called her parents. When she called them, they at first were skeptics but when Elizabeth told them things only their daughter would know, they were amazed and thankful for her being alive after so long. They talked for hours and hours until Elizabeth came outside to talk to Keino. "I think I need to go home." For Keino, who loved Elizabeth, this was a horrible development.

"Home? To your homeland?" Perhaps this was a mistake for Keino. But he couldn't keep her here, it wouldn't be right of him.

"I understand." They were silent the way back as the seas calmed. When dark fell the festival began for Mayako, things were chanted in the old languages and old speach of the island.

Mayko began a musical chant: "Heiyagha zamana lez a do fel mel mano!"

and like that it was finished.

"Elizabeth, I love you." Keino just busted out. "I was going to ask you to be my mate, and stay here with me. But if you must leave, then you must leave. I will not stop you."

Before Elizabeth could remark on the ceremony, she heard what Keino had to say about her. She thought about what he said for a moment or two before she looked at him and replied. "You love me? I don't know what to say in response but if you want me to be your mate.....I can stay here. I admit that I've grown to like you, Keino."

"If you'll have me as a mate, please...I thank you." He took her hands and kissed her.

"If you'll have me as a mate, please...I thank you." He took her hands and kissed her.

"I accept, but my parents must know about it."

"Then tomorrow, we shall sail back to Aurora and petion her once more to contact."

"Then tomorrow, we shall sail back to Aurora and petion her once more to contact."

"Alright, but what shall we do until then? Also, do we have our own ceremony to do?"

"Tonight we enjoy and celebrate my sister's special day. And we will have our own wedding cerimoney."

"Tonight we enjoy and celebrate my sister's special day. And we will have our own wedding cerimoney."

"That is alright with me. Also, what is a wedding ceremony like?"

"Both of us kneel before the Village Head, it was Village Elder but all the elders have died out. So we will kneel before the elder, and take a small dish scoop up some water from a bucket and each sip from the same dish. And we shall swear our eternal connection to each other."

"Both of us kneel before the Village Head, it was Village Elder but all the elders have died out. So we will kneel before the elder, and take a small dish scoop up some water from a bucket and each sip from the same dish. And we shall swear our eternal connection to each other."

(Should we fast forward to the wedding or what not?)

(yes I think we should)


The night of the wedding had arrived. Everyone was gathered under the canopy of the trees. Keino and Elizabeth were neeled facing each other with their hands clasped. Ayla Turell the leader was leading the wedding.

"These two have chosen eachother as love and mate. They shall be sealed for time and all eternity. Take the water."

They both took a sip of the water from the saucer.

"The seal is complete."

Keino and Elizabeth kissed each other.

(yes I think we should)

(How would you like to continue from here?)

Shall we continue?

yes let's

Could you start us off?

Keino handed Elizabeth a dish of the finest fruit gathered by the villagers. "Eat up." He said cheerfully. "This is great fruit from the trees."

The sky was dark and overcasted, likely it was going to storm but they would be well inside by then.

Elizabeth ate her share of the fruit before she went to Keino's house after the festivities were over. Keino soon came to see her and they, now husband and wife, were alone.

(Perhaps she can get a little frightend by the storm?)

When the festivites died down they retreated back to Keino's hut. He lit the lantern, it was still very dim with the lack of any adequate oil. Outside the wind picked up and the waves began to crash on the shore. Lighting flashed with a loud clap of thunder.

For some reason, Elizabeth found herself cuddling with Keino in the hut as the storm was ongoing outside. They looked into each other's eyes and soon their lips locked in a kiss.

Their lips locked. Keino now could let his pation and love for her unleash. They contiuned well into the night before collapsing into sleep. Morning came, rays of light shone in. Keino and Elizabeth were still in an embrace. Now he wasn't so sure about Elizabeth. He still loved her but was it selfish of him to keep her here? He stroked her hair and just lied there thinking

Elizabeth looked at Keino and smiled a bit, she had just went through her first night of passion. In a while she got changed into her morning clothes and went outside to enjoy the fresh air with a walk. Keino was now alone, and Elizabeth was all he could think about.

"Morning Eliza." Keino said. He kissed her. "You look pretty this morning."

"Morning Eliza." Keino said. He kissed her. "You look pretty this morning."

"Morning Keino." Elizabeth said to Keino as she leaned against a nearby tree. She did not know that Keino was having second thoughts about keeping her here.

"I once again, express my happiness that you chose to also have me as a mate. I love you, and will do anything for you, My Elizabeth."

"I once again, express my happiness that you chose to also have me as a mate. I love you, and will do anything for you, My Elizabeth."

"I thank you for choosing me as a mate and that I love you too, Keino." Elizabeth said with a smile as she stood there, her eyes near looking into his eyes. Thoughts swirled through Keino's head while he looked at Elizabeth.

"Well I bet you would like a morning bath, I'll take you to the hotspring."

"Well I bet you would like a morning bath, I'll take you to the hotspring."

Elizabeth nodded in approval. "A morning bath would be nice."

He led her to the bath, they had it together and cleaned each other up. Later he took her out on the water to gather fish. "Elizabeth, your net has snagged, pull it up."

Elizabeth pulled up the net only to see a lot of fish were in it, explaining the snagging. "Look at all these fish!" Elizabeth exclaimed as she and Keino carried them to the hut. As they did, Keino could not help but think about how Elizabeth's parents might be, missing their beloved daughter and all.

"We have a great ammount!" Keino said happily. He looked to the sky and saw it wa growing increasingly heavy with clouds. "We probably should head in, it looks like it's about to storm hard."

"We have a great ammount!" Keino said happily. He looked to the sky and saw it wa growing increasingly heavy with clouds. "We probably should head in, it looks like it's about to storm hard."

Elizabeth was happy she had caught so many fish and helped Keino bring them inside as he had told her it looked like a storm would be coming at them. They got inside and Elizabeth looked at her husband. Elizabeth never really had any thought of Keino being her husband but now she was his wife, his mate.

Pretty soon the thunder and the rain and wind had arrived. This seemed even worse than the gale they had on the wedding night. Keino and Elizabeth were resting, though both were frequantly awoken by the thunder and shaking of the hut. Elizabeth looked increasingly frightend.

"I hope the storm does not get worse, though a part of me says it will." Elizabeth said as she sat in one part of the hut. As she sat there, thoughts of her parents and her homeland began to come into her mind.

Keino wrapped his arm around her. "I don't know, Miamore. This may be a bad time, but perhaps it was wrong of me to keep you. I love you, no matter what, but perhaps I should have loved you enough to ask you about staying here. Perhaps I should have let you return to your homeland."

Elizabeth looked into Keino's eyes for a moment. She did not mind staying here, it was a nice island, but a part of her did think that her parents were dreadfully missing her, missing their daughter. "Keino, I do not mind staying her but my parents...I am sure they miss me." Elizabeth said before going into a state of deep thought.

"I would miss you too if I were your family. All in all I will leave it to you." A leak suddenly sprung from the roof. "The hut roof must be coming lose." He said nothing more as he stood and exited, leaving Elizabeth alone in the hut.

Outside the storm was horrendus wind rain, thunder, and lighting. Keino climbed to the top and tried to rearrange the bamboo used as panneling. He fell off several times but kept getting back up. Suddenly the hut door opend, out came Elizabeth...It was just as Keino stood once again and began his climb. He called her name but he was drowned out by the wind.

Elizabeth found herself in the water, trying to find something to hang on to, she soon found a raft to get up on and after a while, the storm subsided and Elizabeth was left alone on a raft, with nothing but an oar. As she sat there, in the calm ocean, she thought about her family and Keino.

As for Keino, he was calling for Elizabeth, searching for her but it was all in vain. The woman he loved was gone, seized by a storm.

Elizabeth disappeard from his sight. Had he already losed the woman he loved? He ran around frantically barley able to stand. Trees were blowing down around him other things were hitting him as well

(Should we end it off here or continue?)

(continue, I want Keino to find her and have Elizabeth chose once and for all)


His eyes managed to land on her. She was in the water, the storm serge. Without thinking twice he fled to her. "Elizabeth!!!! Grab my hand!" Lighting flashed making things appear in slow motion.

(Alright then)

Elizabeth was swept off her raft and got to the shore. She looked at Keino and then got up from the ground and went to inspect what remained of their hut. It seemed the storm was ending now.

Keino grabed her and raced her further into the island. Pretty soon the storm subsided. The sky was clearing out but the damage was done. "Are you okay Elizabeth?" Keino asked...


Pretty soon all lines of international news was covering the hurricane.

(You can have Elizabeth's parents show up)

It was in the afternoon that Keino saw a large boat in the distance, coming towards the island. As he continued to watch the boat, it soon reached the shore and out of it came two people....a man and a woman. The two looked at Keino and asked him a simple question: "Do you know where Elizabeth is?" Keino immediately thought they were Elizabeth's parents.

Keino could somewhat make out what the woman said. And looking at the distruction around them, naturally.

He led them, he place Eliza under a shady grove of trees that survived the storm. His little sister and her new fiancee were tending to Elizabeth's minor injuries.

Elizabeth and the newcomers looked at each other in silence for a moment before the woman wept a bit as she ran to hug and embrace Elizabeth tightly. "Elizabeth!...." the woman said, she was Eliza's mother and she let out a lot of emotion. The father got a hug too and then they all looked at Keino, with Keino's sister just watching as part of the one person audience.

Mayako turned to Keino. "Is that her ma'ma and papa, big brother?"

"Yes." Keino said. He said nothing more and left, to rebuild the hut.

As dusk began to fall, Keino was half done, when Elizabeth showed up, saying his name in a normal state of voice. "Eliza..." He turned to face her. She still had not changed from the island clothes that were made for her. Her long hair was blowing in the wind.

"Yes, Keino?" Elizabeth said as they looked into each other's eyes, perhaps for the last time. It was likely that Elizabeth had to go home with her parents, but it did not stop her from talking to Keino. They were in silence for a moment before Keino began to speak.....

"Wherever you go? If you go....Don't forget about me. I love you Elizabeth, and I love you enough that what ever you chose, I will be fine with."

He kissed her.

"Wherever you go? If you go....Don't forget about me. I love you Elizabeth, and I love you enough that what ever you chose, I will be fine with."

He kissed her.

(I sent you some telegrams)

Elizabeth smiled at him but before she could speak, Elizabeth's mother came to see them. She looked quite happy now that her daughter was found and safe but she wanted to take to Keino. "You must be the boy who helped my daughter. I thank you...I thank you."

"Yes, you are most welcome. Eliza is great girl, great great girl." Keino said. "And you look so much like her, mother of Eliza."

"Yes, you are most welcome. Eliza is great girl, great great girl." Keino said. "And you look so much like her, mother of Eliza."

As Eliza's mother and Keino were talking, Elizabeth came to lean into Keino and whispered something in his ear. "Should we tell her about our marriage?" Elizabeth then was a bit motionless as she waited to see what Keino would do. She already saw Elizabeth's mother thanking Keino for saying what he did.

"Lady...."

de la Roche was whispered into his ear. "Lady de la Roche, I Keino, am married to your daughter. I chose her as my mate, she agreed but it may have made her in away. If you wish for her to return to homeland, I will understand, and shall not protest."

"Lady...."

de la Roche was whispered into his ear. "Lady de la Roche, I Keino, am married to your daughter. I chose her as my mate, she agreed but it may have made her in away. If you wish for her to return to homeland, I will understand, and shall not protest."

Elizabeth's mother was surprised to hear those words from Keino. She stood there for a moment and thought before she began to speak to Keino. "Keino, you are my daughter's husband? I am surprised to hear this and really don't know what to say." As Eliza's mother talked, Keino wondered if he should tell Eliza's mother about "pation".

"Yes, Lady de la Roche. That means me and your daughter have had intamating nights together. (an island term for sex) That means I have touched places a girl must allow in the bonds of marriage."

"Yes, Lady de la Roche. That means me and your daughter have had intamating nights together. (an island term for sex) That means I have touched places a girl must allow in the bonds of marriage."

Elizabeth's mother was shocked to hear that kind of stuff from Keino, a part of her became concerned for Elizabeth. "Keino, I....I do not know what to say about that." Elizabeth's mother said to Keino, stunned by hearing her daughter had done such things with Keino.

Keino bowed his head. Keino didn't get her parent's consent, like it was proper to do. "You right, Lady de la Roche, don't think less of Coronian Islanders. They are all more proper than me. I acted on my impuluse, I showed great disrespect to your daughter, and you. I should have not have done such things. Keino is sorry."

Elizabeth's mother thought for a moment before she began to speak. "I accept your apology, Keino. I will not think less of Coronian islanders because of this." Elizabeth's mother said, a part of her was concerned for her daughter as parents would be in such situations. "I am surprised to hear you did such things with my daughter a bit."

"What I did, was completly against our culture. I mean, it's good inside the bonds of marriage, and love...Just I guess I thought, if Elizabeth was ever truly unhappy, she could have said no. But I should have known, what her desires were. If I really loved her and deserved her."

Elizabeth and Keino were with Eliza's parents for about a couple of months, during their visit it was found out that Keino had impregnated Elizabeth during their night of "pation". Keino, though somewhat regretting he ever had carnal relations with Eliza was happy to hear that she was with child. She gave birth in the view of Keino, his sister and Eliza's parents to a lovely and healthy daughter named Elizabeth II by Keino.

After a while, Elizabeth went to Keino one night and told him finally her decision. Keino heard from the lady he loved so dearly that Elizabeth would stay, to care for the child and to be with her husband. Elizabeth told her parents and they understood, but they did wish they could stop by annually to check on their daughter, thankful they were at least she was alive.

The parents stayed for a bit longer before having a bit of an emotional goodbye and a discussion on what Elizabeth's parents would do with their daughter's posessions back home, Elizabeth hoped Keino could build a house or something of the sort so Elizabeth could bring them over.

The ship of her parents soon departed from the island, waving to Keino, Elizabeth and their infant daughter, and soon they were gone and this is how our story ends.

"That was a year unlike anyother for both my parents. Two strangers from diffrent lands meeting up, falling in love, the odds were large, but fate made it happen." Elizabeth II now in her 20's finished dictating her book. The islands had changed so much, though some things remained the same. She took the paper out of the typewriter and placed it on a nice neat stack. Her husband Kauxnu returned from a long fishing trip.

"Kaxnu!" She embraced him.

"Oh, I've missed you miamora. Hey you finally finished it!"

"Yeah, and I'm ready to send it off."

"Well, you have one amazing story there, my love."

"Thanks, but your only saying that so I-"

"Need you ask?"

He instantly kissed her. She turned out the Lantern, and that was the end of her chapter. Elizabeth's book would be published for the world to read. A romance novel to shake the ages, it would also be turned into a motion picture and win several awards on both ends.
