3rd of Winter 517 A.V.
Maya laid in her bed sleeping peacefully in the early morning hours. Her mother, father, and elder brother were most likely already up and moving that morning, but the Lark was not bothered by that fact. She often slept in some when it came to dealing with her family that early and all at once. The girl and Xander did not get a long any better than a cat in water. He had earned his family marks and his male dog Render.
The dark haired beauty was still working on proving herself to Vernon and Dimitri. Jiya seemed to already approve of her getting her marks, but the one man that could actually get her mark done was still on the fence. She had been pushing herself harder than her elder brother ever dreamed of pushing himself. It had seemed to the girl that he had been given an easier set of tests or rather that his had been completely laid out for him.
Rolling over a sigh escaped her as the girl's eyes fluttered before she drifted on back to sleep. Maya was anything but a morning person. She didn't mind staying up all hours of the night to get things done, but moving in the early hours of the day just was not her thing. The woman's mother had never bothered waking the girl up after she got old enough to work. Jiya had began training to be a slaver and knew the amount of stress it caused on the body.
That was why the mother had switched to being an attorney instead. Dimitri had come into the family head strong and ready to take on any challenge that Vernon threw his way. He had taken on the roll of torturer and slaver without blinking an eyelash while winning the heart of Jiya. Xander was pushed to be the best of his class no matter what. All the children within the Lark family were forced to be tough and no nonsense when it came to dealing with outsiders.
The children had a long legacy to uphold for future generations to come. They were to know many things like how to dance, how to speak, when to flirt, when to intimidate, and who to wed. A knock on the door caused Xander to get up from his place on the couch. Walking over he opened the door and smirked seeing a very familiar cherry standing there. Popping his neck he called to his mother and father, a growl could be heard from beside him.
Render his hound growled up at the intruder watching him closely. Dimitri and Jiya came to the doorway to see what all the commotion was about. The woman stood just slightly behind her husband as he glared and sized the cherry up. Looking over at his son, the man dismissed him before stepping forward as two more growls could be heard from the large black monsters beside the two.
“Can I help you with something cherry?” Dimitri asked with a slight venom in his tone.
