Broken Antler Fen A cup of tea, please

He accepted, giving her the space and time to explain what had happened - how she was now a mother of two and a sworn enemy of the Dark Brotherhood. She almost didn't know where to begin. So, I believe I told you when we first met that I was the alpha of a pack called "moonlit hills". I mistook you for your father. It was around that time that I was first introduced to the Brotherhood - to Burke. You see, as I was strolling near a lake in heat; he found me and I... well, seduced him. She tried hard to hide her embarrassment by a chuckle, though it was obvious she was not very proud of this part of her story.

After a while, it was beginning to look like I was pregnant and my subjects did not seem to care. I came to Burke for help and he got me a spot in the brotherhood. Of course this had to be during the famine - let's just say I was not very... popular with the locals. But Burke never gave up on me or our kids because of it. I was told I was a... whore and that I did not deserve to be - that my children would be taken from me. Her first smiling face turned grim as she recalled memories she had stored away for quite some time because of good reasons.

When I gave birth, I heard them talking - heard them say horrible things about Burke, our children and me. Burke was thrown off his throne and it was apparent that we were no longer safe. As soon as we could, we got out of there but a peculiar female followed us. You now know her as the hard-working Aeronwyn. It seemed she was... touched by our story and failures in life and she joined us on our journey over the mountains into unknown lands. We found Two Rivers Isle; a beautiful piece of land surrounded by rivers on all sides and founded Arthendal along with some others. It was our home; our sanctuary, and I believe all who came went away happy... All except for the bunch that have come with us to these lands. She explained, not going in much detail of all the bonding moments they had shared there. Those memories were theirs and theirs only - and as much as she encouraged honesty; some things were worth keeping.
