Broken Antler Fen The nights are colder now

the assurance that pool would be careful soothes the worst of praimfaya's worries and the worlida acknowledges her words with a sage nod of her head. though praimfaya has yet to cross paths with the rusalkan crone again ...it doesn't mean she isn't out there lying in wait. and she still sought isi. even now, there is the hint of absolute recklessness in praimfaya that thinks she should lie, she should tell the crone that she is verx's daughter. ...would she have not had roangeda it occurs to praimfaya that she would've done it in a heartbeat to protect her bloodkru. dragomir and isi have suffered enough without the rusalkan crone adding to it.

but the worlida cannot afford to be so reckless, even if it was to protect bloodkru. roangeda needs her just as she needs them and she must prove to them and to dacio that she is capable of being the wanheda they deserve. no, praimfaya responds. thankfully we are all in good health and as full as we can be. an almost sardonic curl of praimfaya's lips is given. in the throes of famine they scrape by — same as everyone else.

yes, praimfaya responds. kru is family. we take care of and protect each other and if the need arises, we avenge each other. kru was sacred, praimfaya thinks, as they should be.
