Ravensblood Forest My heart is Home with you

Tying the assumed ending of this thread in with this post!  

 

Both men had dismissed her fears [as she had wished], but now she felt a peculiar frustration towards it. Dakarai offered his shield confirmed his fealty to abet her potential for harm [and day after day, his complete and utter devotion was more and more appreciated]. Arturo wrote her dream off as a subconscious fear, but he simply did not believe in the metaphysical — which to her, seemed to limit his potential greatly. Such a stately and powerful brute could only benefit from receiving the cosmic support of the universe, working in tandem with the energies and spirits of the earth. Imagine what Teaghlaigh could achieve . Perhaps, one day, she could interpret these forces and counsel Ceannasach on harnessing those powers to serve the family.  It was an interesting thought — if only she could open him to the possibilities.


“You are a part of our family now; nothing can touch you either,” Olive responded sweetly, yet matter-of-factly to Dakarai. Though a peaceful sort of crusader, she would protect him in the ways she knew how [first and foremost by showering him in her affections and nearly constant companionship] but was grateful that she had the family with which to share the burden of what she could not offer him.

Renewed with purpose, her gaze sought Arturo’s. “Sir, yes, I am upset and I am afraid - but i’m committed to helping this family heal.  Isley and I found a beautiful garnet gemstone  and we would like to place it upon her gravesite, with your permission. It’s a powerful stone, but it can’t possibly match the strength she possessed. We hope that it can bring Furiosa's soul a small respite.” Her finely sculpted head dipped into a small bow; a formality that she felt the gravity of the conversation required. “I, too, am dedicated to this family and prepared to serve in whichever way I can.”  If anything, this entire situation had renewed her dedication to Teaglaigh.
