Moonspear ^_________^

Sialuk considered interrupting Pie to indicate that she may not be able to have children on her own, but she refrained for now. There was more than a year yet to prepare her daughter of things to come, and they had plenty of time to talk between now and then. The next question was one that Sialuk had always thought would be easy to answer. Long ago, when she had asked the bones, they had told her she would have sons and daughters upon the mountain. Now, she had fulfilled that prophecy. Would she have more in the years to come?

She smiled gently at her daughter and shrugged. I do not know, she said. This year has been filled with hardship. Treepie had never known Argent, and she likely never would. He had gone from Moonspear before his children were born. She may not know Acrux or Maggak, either. It pained the Ostrega, but it was a story to tell when Pie was a bit older, when she began to know what love was.
