Moonspear never be so kind you forget to be clever

Sialuk felt a prick in her heart when Ariadne mentioned the timing of her arrival and their sister's departure from this world. It had to have been difficult on Ari to arrive only to be instantly thrown into such a situation. It would do no good to dwell on this fact, though, and Sialuk was thankful for the question leading away from the larger, heavier topic of Rodyn's wife.

She is a young woman, Sialuk replied, She was receptive to children, but her elders had not taught her how to avoid such things. Both Elentari and I were expecting our own children then, so I could not bring her to village Moonspear. Moontide was small then, and our sister and Rodyn took her under their care. It still bothered Sialuk that Marina's village had kept her naive to these things. The starwoman vowed to teach Maggak the ways of life early so that she did not end up in the same situation that Marina had.
