Wardruna nodded curtly, her expression revealing not an ounce of doubt in the subtle explanation which Valeska had given. Wara did not, of course, make her way around her to take notice of the slices of scabbed bite marks, either.

Look - best it your tail then all of you. You are Callosum Matriarch. Of course, Valeska was obviously already well aware of this, but the words were meant to make Valeska remember this, should she have faltered in her image of herself due to this unfortunate situation. Honestly, Wardruna would have held her down in the fire right along with Amaranth. Funny how intense Wardruna could be emotionally and still would spill blood and set someone on fire without second thought.

It is not. Wardruna said with a smile, sitting down so that she might allow invite for Valeska to speak with her awhile this dawn of a new day. I have come for your knowledge, High Priestess, and perhaps your advice. She would begin and although her words revealed the heaviness of the topic, the seriousness was not at all suggested with a tone of sorrow or malice.

You see, I have tried many times for a family to call my own, one to rival my parents even ... She said with a sheepish smile. She was nearly half into her third year, thus, having a late start if we're being honest. And after my mate had disapeared, She understood Valeska would not know of this, but the union with Sheauga had been shorter then the time which she had been gone from her. I had decided not to relay on another (at least not a mortal) for this any longer. I spoke to Sreda about it and she had the willingness in her heart to help lead me to the Tree of Life.

I didnt know which gods to pray to. I didnt know if any, and obviously Mythris magic is unpredictable at best but, we tried. We gave our blood as sacrifice. I just don't know what to expect and felt I'd seek the experience of one who had done this before, successfully. Magic was really the only word to describe it, though what magic and who's magic was uncertain. The Norse? The Gods of Old? The Five? Or even guardian spirits of the forest, Life bringers and protectors? Surely it was benevolent, to grant others children where naturally they would not have them, yet during this blight on Mythris? What if they came out plagued? Deformed? Like the walking disease she had seen in the far north??
