Jehann the Wanderer part 5.3

    As they walked outside, Jehann took in the lovely site. It was sunny out, and everything looked bright and alive. The landscape was of wild grass and flowers of every color. There were trees every so often, full and green. Not too far off was a small pond. She walked with Erich down the white, granite steps. As they walked onto the ground, a voice called toward them. "Where are you two going?"
    "Oh, hi momma! Jehann wanted to find Rashad and I was taking her to him".
    The dragon looked to see the woman the boy was talking to. She did not look anything like him. The woman was of an elven nature, with lengthy, silvery brown hair. She had green eyes and wore a long, grey embroidered robe; underneath it were purple slacks with knee-high brown boots. She wore a necklace with a golden pendant of some kind, which matched the same symbol upon the purple head-band on her brow.
      "Erich, go inside and clean yourself off better".
      "But, momma!"
      "Go."
      "Hmph, bye Jehann."
      "Thank you for helping me Erich."
     The boy mumbled a welcome and walked up the stairs, going back inside. Smiling, the woman shook her head.
      "That child sometimes. I am Genivarah Ani Laganhasikome. You may call me Geni Long. I'm the current head of Nirakai Meesha."
      Geni Long gave Jehann a graceful bow, in which Jehann returned. "Well, I'm Jehann Kashatrentica, but you may already know what to call me."
       The elven woman nodded. "Yes, Tehrann told me".
        "Tehrann?"
       "Sorry. Tehrann is Rashad's real name, he goes by Rashad because it's what I called him the first time we found him. We didn't learn his real name til later on", Geni Long watched Jehann's contemplating look," Sounds a lot like your own name, doesn't it?".
       "Yes, yes, it does. Are you saying that he might be related to me?"
       "Oh, from your look, I think you may know that answer better than I."
       Jehann found herself staring at the elven woman for the longest while. She noticed something walking toward them. Rashad, also known as Tehrann, stopped and gave her a long look. The realization came over Jehann like a wild storm.
