Title: Two Storms
Rating: PG
Pairings: Kahlan
Summary: Kahlan likes storms, just not the ones she has to listen too.

Written for legendland's marathon prompt challenge.
Prompt: Thunderstorm


Thunderstorm
Kahlan sat at the mouth of the cave, her back against a rock that jutted out the side wall and watched the lightning streak across the sky. Behind her, Zedd was complaining about the way Richard cooked the rabbit they’d caught before the storm hit and Cara was pacing the length of the cave like a caged animal. She let it all wash over her though. She liked thunderstorms, they were strangely calming to her, the rain cooling the air, the flash of light that brought a momentary glimpse into the soundings and the rumble of the clouds clearing the air. It was beautiful. A lot better than listening to the argument going on behind her.

Written for legendland's marathon prompt challenge.
Prompt: Once upon a time there was a girl named Kahlan...


Once Upon a Love Story
“A story, a story.” Kahlan turned at the sound of her youngest daughter’s voice, she was meant to be asleep an hour ago. The little one rubbed at her eyes as she repeated her request. “I want a story mama.”

“A story? For a little girl who was meant to be asleep an hour ago?” She turned to the oldest of the three who she’d just brought up to bed. “What do you think Nora?”

“I think a story would be good.” Nora replied.

“Yeah,” the other two agreed.

“Alright.” Kahlan moved over to sit on the edge of Lara’s bed. “Once upon a time there was a girl named Kahlan.”

“That’s your name, mama,” Nora said.

“No said it couldn’t be a story about me,” Kahlan said with a grin. “Once upon a time there was a girl named Kahlan and she was in charge of making sure the midlands were safe and the people happy. But the thing that protected the midlands the most was about to fail and Kahlan was going to end up on an adventure that would last a lifetime.”

“The boundaries are gonna fail,” Lara interjected.

“And the Wizard’s will get mama to Westland where she’ll meet papa.” Nora added.

“And then they get married and have babies.” Melissa said from her new bed.

Kahlan laughed. “I think you’ve heard this story before.”

“Yeah, papa told us a few days ago.” Nora said.

“Do you know why he told it?” Kahlan asked.

“Because he doesn’t know any stories either?” Lara tried, causing Kahlan and Nora to laugh.

“Because he’s silly,” Melissa said.

“Your father knows loads of stories,” Kahlan said. “Though he is silly, that’s not why he told you the story.”

“It’s because he loves you,” Nora said. “And yesterday was your ammivortaty.”

“An-ni-ver-sary.” Kahlan corrected. “That’s right, your father and I have been married for 6 years now.”

“That’s a long time.” Melissa said after a yawn.

“Not long enough,” Kahlan said softly. “Now, it’s time for the three most beautiful girls in the world to get some sleep.”

“Four,” Lara corrected. “You need to sleep too, mama.”

Kahlan smiled. “Four,” she corrected herself. “Sweet dreams my beautiful girls.”
