"Watch me Daddy!"

He looked up. She had something else to show him. First it was how high she could swing...before a chuckle and a happy sigh from him came with a warning not to go too high. Then it was her going down her favorite slide, her hands high in the air as she came down.

Now she was climbing a Dogwood Tree. She waved to him now, sitting on the lowest branch.

He grinned, shaking his head. "I'm watching Miizu! Just be careful!"

She giggled. "Oh Daddy, I'll be careful! Just watch me!" She turned and started to climb higher.

Arandor sighed, shaking his head. Perhaps he did caution her a bit too much. He watched her, keeping a close eye as she got higher and higher. She was such a special little girl.

He watched her and remembered his son and daughters from long ago. He closed his eyes; he remembered fishing in the river, picking flowers in the woods, painting pictures on cave walls...spending all the time he could with them from dawn till dusk before rocking them to sleep in his arms.

As Kashoku or Arandor, it didn't matter. He was their father, and he loved them.

After being resurrected he hadn't imagined he'd be raising a child again.

But Miizu was different. She had come into his life quite unexpectedly. Now he wouldn't imagine things any differently.

Though he was happy, he felt a pang of sadness sting at his heart. The way he had found her wasn't the most pleasant. For that reason, he wanted to take care of her; he wanted her to have the best life possible.

And yet it wasn't just something he did because he felt he had to. It wasn't something done to make up for the things that had happened.

He really and truly loved her. It was impossible to ignore. She was nothing less than his little girl.

While he day-dreamed and reminisced, he felt euphoria, breathing deeply as a smile curled his lips. The comfort was shattered; he sensed something was about to happen.

The second he opened his eyes, he heard Miizu cry out.

"Daddy help me!"

He looked and saw her slipping, holding on to one of the highest branches with only one hand. She was losing her grip fast.

"Miizu!" he cried, jumping to his feet. He raced over to the tree.

"Daddy!" she cried again. Trying as hard as she could to hold on, she lost her grip and began to fall, plummeting to the ground. "Help!!" she cried. She closed her eyes.

She landed hard, but not on the ground. When the movement stopped, she opened her eyes. Arandor had his arms around her, holding her close, having fallen to his knees after catching her. He panted, trying to catch his breath.

Her eyes sparkled; she smiled. "Oh...oh Daddy. Thank you!" She hugged him tightly. "I was afraid I was gonna get squished when I hit the ground!"

Arandor looked at her, shaking his head. He wanted to scold her for climbing so high, but he found himself smiling. He couldn't help it. He was just happy she was alright. He knew exactly what to say to her in reply.

"Well...you did tell me to watch you after all," he said with a chuckle, holding her close.

Miizu giggled, pulling back and looking at him. "I'm sorry Daddy. I didn't mean to fall."

Arandor shook his head, smiling. "It's alright. The point is you weren't hurt." He paused, getting up slowly. "What do say we get some ice cream before it gets too close to dinner?"

After being sat on her feet, Miizu giggled, clapping her hands. "Oh yay! That sounds awesome!" Taking his hand she added, "I love you Daddy."

Arandor started walking with her, looking at her for a moment. Times had changed...things were different. She hadn't come into his life as his other three children had, but the relationship was still the same. That familiar bond between father and daughter was still there.

He'd always watch over and protect her, and he'd always love her.

He chuckled. "I love you too Miizu. That'll never ever change. No matter how high you climb, I'll always be there to catch you if you fall."

Umm yeah, before some of my watchers go, "Say WHAT?!?" Let me explain.

This is Arandor post-WoLaD AND in my RP's with Gem. Also, if you didn't catch the hints in the story, Miizu is his adopted daughter.

...And no I'm not telling you where she came from if any of you are friends with Gem and she isn't telling you XD I got in trouble for spoiling who Naoko's real father was X_X Ain't doing it again XD

Anyway she comes into his life unexpectedly. She needs someone to look after her, and since he's sorta close to the reason why she's alone, he takes the responsibility of raising her. He's enchanted by her eye color, amber, since his are as well, and once he gets past feeling bad for why she was left alone, he really starts to care for her, and strong bond is formed.

Times have changed from when he raised his kids 2000 years ago but...things like family ties just don't change <3

Anyway Miizu was probably about five or six in that story. She could be that age here too I reckon...maybe closer to four XD

Not many complaints...coloring with yellow is a pain since it gets so messy but I like this ^^
