The Sentinels deliver us

Making some assumptions about @Casmir, but I'm happy to edit if needed. Really hoping I can catch up on my threads now that the reboot is live. :D

Sorry this is poop, I am tired but wanted to make sure I didn't delay Emaleth's return.

She had not wanted to return immediately, so broken was her heart— even with Casmir at her side, the thought was too much to bear. Emaleth still feared the reactions of her family, feared that she would be punished for the curse that she had wrought upon them. Her brother, knowing she was safe under his watch, agreed to postpone her return for a day; and the pair had bonded beneath the stars, her brother a balm to her sorrow-filled heart.

When they arrived upon Donnelaith's borders that dawn, the child was forlorn but no longer distressed. She missed her father and Eilidh, and most of all, Deirdre. To be home again would be a comfort, even if it was a punishment that awaited her.
