Elodee? Well… Elodee had always been highly intelligent, but downright stubborn – some might even say too smart for her own good. She remained headstrong and rebellious through childhood, and eventually she and her father had a falling out. Willem watched his daughter pack her things that day, and leave their little farm to chase her dreams. In anger, Willem marched right down to the local Notary and disowned Elodee, and though he often regretted doing so, his daughter was not the only stubborn member of the Haverford family.
Adney remained on the farm to help his father, and their daily routine became a yearly routine, and so the days passed. Every evening, after a normally fruitful hunting trip, Adney would be joined at the local tavern by his own children Sophie and Danton, now fully-grown, and they would toast the day with a pint of ale. While he missed his sister, and often wondered where she was and what she was doing, Adney remained satisfied with the adventures that kept him near his family.
Sophie, Adney’s daughter, now had her own children, Alton and Freda. Sophie would often host dinner in her small home inside the town of Bree for the family. She often observed how happy her grandfather, Willem, seemed as he sat at the head of the table, discussing all things important and trivial – though his voice always had a hint of sadness when he mentioned Elodee.
