Year 1553 Part 3:

TW/CW: Infant death

Adam and Isabel celebrated their sixth birthday with them looking more like their parents each day. Adam took more after Agnes which did make Agnes feel a bit better about the fact neither of her eldest had looked much like her as toddlers while Isabel looked like Stephen’s side of the family. Isabel might have gotten her hair and eye color from her maternal side but there was no doubt that she was in an Ember. 

Nathaniel celebrated his eighteenth birthday with his mother and Uncle. He wasn’t looking to immediately marry yet though. He was content to simply help his uncle around their garden farm.

Year 1553 Part 1:

The Ember household continued to be full of joy while waiting for the new arrival. Stephen’s sister Joyce was coming ever closer to becoming an adult which is what Stephen and Agnes were waiting for so they could prepare to leave to establish a land just for spellcasters where they wouldn’t have to practice their magic in secret but, Joyce surprised them by saying that she wanted to come with them to create their haven one day late into Agnes’s pregnancy. 

Agnes was delighted to know that her sister-in-law would be coming with them though she wondered if she wished to marry in town before they left or find a suitor along the way since she wanted her family to be happy. Though that was still a ways off so Agnes took to enjoying her time with her young children since travel wasn’t possible while pregnant anyways.
