Two Rivers Isle Except a memory, a distant Echo

Ulrich came across his wife that day, sniffing around as if searching for something. Food, perhaps? It was the beginning of spring, so he hoped prey would be easier to come by. Adylaide, he said, as he approached her. And then he saw the annoyance on her face. Are you all right? He glanced at her swelling belly. Are you... uncomfortable? Do you want to lie down? He had been trying so hard during her whole pregnancy not to hover and bother her, but his instinct to make her lay down and never move while he did everything in the world for her was almost too strong to resist.
