The Sentinels the birth of venus

she was, deirdre informed her newfound friend, thinking on the lovely blue willow. she and my father both found this place. one day she had left, when famine struck, to find herbs for donnelaith. but she has never returned, and deirdre said no more on this; her mother might live yet, out there... or she might have been, like her father, a victim of the colourless times. deirdre missed blue willow as fiercely as she missed her father, and to not know of her fate pained her. she thought of the woman every day.

the pale witch princess licked her chops, not wishing to dwell too much on that. i have brothers in the valley--one is constantine, who lives here in donnelaith. then there is casmir; he is at silver creek. i have a sister as well, who lives within donnelaith--eilidh. my elder sister, emaleth, is elsewhere for the time... but she will return, she had plenty of family left over, each she loved vehemently. she peered sidelong to the becoming tansea, her tail waving behind her. tell me more of yourself, tansea! i should so love to get to know you, her ears perked, not one to talk much of herself and loving more to hear of others.
