@teti,
Yea, it's been a time. I struggled with this chapter in the beginning, and then I kind of stepped back from it. Then I got enveloped by the wedding preparations, and time got away from me. I'm glad that I got back to this though. Hopefully, more chapters will follow soon enough.
Thanks! This was part of the reason why I struggled in the beginning about 2 ears ago. And even now, I'm not totally enamored with it, but it definitely works.
I know right? This fic will hopefully go into the psyces of Maeve and Sinbad very deeply. Of course there will be some in depth stuff going on with Bryn too, since it's her memory and all, but the main focus will be on Sinbad coming to terms with Maeve's real past, Maeve reuniting with her family and deciding to either stay or go with Sinbad, and Bryn coming to terms with her own past and reuniting with her fiancée who she barely remembers and doesn't feel love for anymore....and perhaps falling back in love with him along the way....
Thank you.
It'll be a while, but not two years worth a wait! LOL
Hopefully the next update will be within the month. But no more than two months really.
@doubar, I can't wait to see what you think!

First off, WOW, it's been a while for me! BUT!!! I have 5 weeks till the wedding, and things have been SUPER busy with all that and work! I can't believe that in 5 weeks I'll no longer be Samantha Bridges but Samantha Tillery! ACK!!!!!! Thanks! I was hoping it would be so, but not exciting, physically, exciting like the battle scenes are. This is part of the reason why it took so long to update this. I was trying so hard to get the feelings and thoughts right, but at the same time still have a bit of emotional distance to this. He's not been really hit with the understanding of these thoughts yet. He's feeling the first brushes of what the future will bring by going to Albion, but it's not quite happened full force yet. You are quite welcome! I was glad I managed to make it so visually appealing with my words. You'll just have to wait and see! LOL! You are very welcome! Even if it takes me another year or two to write out a chapter, I WILL continue! LOL

The Return of Bryn 6
Sinbad and the men of the Nomad could scarcely believe their eyes. While they had no doubt that Maeve could open this portal, their fear for her health, though big, hard no bearing on their belief she could do it.
But to simply watch as her fire magic weaved itself into a pinwheel fueled by her will and magic, to condense and cause the water they sailed on to fog up, and then pull away like curtains allowing in the sun was amazing!
Sinbad was uncertain about this. He knew that Maeve and Dermott wanted to go home and see what was happening to their families, but they were heading into a war zone. He had just gotten Maeve back, and now he might lose her forever to her home and family.
Home and family….for a time he had thought they were her home and family. Now that he knew her true past, he was afraid he would not be able to keep her on his ship.
After all, the entire reason she left this magical place was to free Dermott. She has succeeded beyond compare. Her mission in life is done. She should be able to go home once more! His thoughts logically told him this. And to a point he even agreed with those thoughts, and yet….his heart didn’t want to listen.
Listening involved letting her go, and he didn’t want to do that.
He just go her back! He was finally feeling like his heart and soul were back on track with her return. He didn’t want to let her go!
Sinbad came back to himself as Doubar exclaimed, “Lass...you did it! Where….wh...where are we?”
Before Maeve answered, Dermott who had been standing beside Bryn, clapped Doubar on the shoulder as he walked past his big friend and said in satisfaction, “This is Avalon Doubar. This is where the women of our bloodline go to learn their mystical arts from a young age.”
Dermott’s head cocked to the right, like his bird self did, but with his human form it was more like he was listening to something only he could hear and said, “The Aunts summon us!”
Sinbad heard the capital letters and asked with a bit of dread in his heart, “Aunts?”
Bryn blinked and said off hand like it was a known fact of life that the crew really should have known about, “The Ladies of Avalon. High Priestess Morgawse, the Lady of the Lake Priestess Isolde, the Priestess of the Gateway Lady Morgana, and the Wandering Priestess Lady Elaine.”
She tilted her head and said as she looked to Roslyn, “But...Roslyn is wandering now…?”
Roslyn, who had been gazing at the temple with love and at Maeve with pride, turned to Bryn and answered, “Mother travels far and wide for girls, this is true, as her eldest and heiress to her position, I am allowed to use the same spells she does.”
Maeve nodded and said, “it’s like me using the magic to open the way. I share the blood and magic of my mother who is the Lady of the Lake who usually opens the portals from her end.”
Firouz completed the bridge of thought, “So, the powers of Avalon allow two people to use the same powers then? The current holder of the power and a daughter of the bloodline or the heiress?”
The children of Avalon replied simply, “Yes.”
Sinbad felt his heart clenching in fear. Dermott looked like he was home. Maeve looked excited to be there too. Bryn’s face was hopeful and optimistic and Roslyn was looking far more at ease than she was not an hour ago.
He knew she would cause him heartache.
“Well…” he stated as firmly as he could, “shall we dock?”
He was positive he wasn’t as firm as he hoped he was because Roslyn gave him a gentle smile and Maeve gave him a look of concern.
Dermott answered the unasked question, “Just dock there at the white pier. From there the ship will be taken to the detailing shipyard and given a thorough cleaning and update.”
Sinbad barked out, “Cleaning? Update?!”
Dermott smirked and said, “Aye Captain, for free of charge the Nomad will be cleansed outside and in, and it’ll get some new updates to it.”
Sinbad asked warily, “And what might those be?”
Dermott chuckled and said, “Really Sinbad, if Maeve is going to continue her travels with you, father will demand only the best for his baby girl. That includes updating the ship and cleaning it out!”
“Dermott!” Exclaimed Maeve with heated cheeks.
Sinbad felt a bit of his fear leave him. If Dermott was joking about this, then it must be true...right? Maeve wouldn’t leave him for this island...would she?
Maeve glanced at Sinbad and said, “Hurry Sinbad, the Aunts don’t like to be kept waiting.”

Just a peak at something I have been steadily working on the past few weeks. It’s not a lot, but it is getting worked on. Let me know what you think?
