			<description><![CDATA[Kiva had never really minded these kinds of trips. Back in Wind Haven, they’d been part of the job. Carry something useful, check in, listen more than you talked, and come home with whatever news mattered. It had always felt easier than sitting around waiting for information to find its way to her. Maybe that was why, when Raelan mentioned Camhamanaich, Kiva had volunteered before she could really think too hard about it. The bundle she carried wasn’t fancy. That felt wrong, considering what had happened there.<br />
<br />
Instead, she’d packed things that might actually matter. Dried meat, a pair of rabbits, and several smaller bundles of herbs tucked carefully between them: yarrow, calendula, chamomile, whatever Eastrenhold could reasonably spare without leaving itself short. There were probably prettier gifts she could have brought. Flowers, feathers, something ceremonial. Food and medicine seemed better. Especially after what Raelan said had happened.<br />
<br />
Kiva adjusted the bundle against her side as she neared Camhamanaich’s territory, slowing once the unfamiliar scents became stronger. Her ears tipped forward, then sideways, taking in everything around her before she finally stopped near the border. She didn’t cross, though.<br />
<br />
Instead, she settled the bundle carefully at her paws and lifted her head. <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">“Hello?”</span> she called, loud enough for her voice to carry without turning it into a shout. <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">“My name is Kiva. I’m an ambassador here from Eastrenhold.”</span> She paused, gaze drifting briefly toward the supplies before returning to the territory ahead.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">“Raelan asked that I come check in with Camhamanaich.”</span> Her voice softened just slightly. <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">“We heard what happened. I brought what food and medical supplies we could spare, and I wanted to see if there was anything else your people needed.”</span>]]></description>

<br />
Cooped up in her den, coaxed to calm by Kexin and Làn, she had been practicing her breathing. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">In, out.</span> In through her nose, and out through her mouth, imagining herself upon the bank of a calm and gentle pond. Sunlight upon the water. Wind through her fur. Relaxed, as she should be. <br />
<br />
Calm thoughts. Happy thoughts. <br />
<br />
Ignore the fatness of her belly, the soreness in her hips, and the ever-persistent dread in the back of her mind. That was what she had been told. Ignore all the bad. Focus on the good. But it was not an easy thing to do, not when it felt like they’d been feeding on her life source, draining the daybreak dragon of what remained of her fire. She wondered if she still looked herself, or if she was fated to be a ghost left to wander the courts of Tianlong, longing for a life that was never meant for her.<br />
<br />
Even with that fear, Rìhé held no malice for the children inside her. No hatred, no resentment soured by the misery they had unknowingly brought her. It was only fear for their arrival, for what she had to offer them. What if she failed them? Even with Kexin, who had saved her more than once, what if that was not enough? <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">What if she, their mother, was not enough?</span> <br />
<br />
Certainly, she felt like no dragon. Like no woman of royal breeding. She felt small and unimportant. Frighteningly mortal, aware of all she lacked. A girl again, stripped of every title that had ever made her believe herself untouchable or special. She felt as if she were a concubine trapped within the gilded cage of the court, a bartered bride with no say. Nothing of Heaven's blessing seemed to remain within her. Only a girl, lost to herself. <br />
<br />
But there was also <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">love</span>, she thought. A love so strong she could not comprehend how her mother had let Yuèzhuō and her suffer as they did. How she had watched with a bowed head and a painted mask upon her face.<br />
<br />
When the first wave of pain came, she made a promise. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">A promise to be what her mother was not. A promise to be everything her family could not be.</span><br />
<br />
When the second wave of pain came, and she was sputtering out a whine for help, she made another promise. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">A promise <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">not</span> to die. Not here. Not while they still needed her. Not until they were grown and educated and entirely of their own making. She would not leave them to the mercy of the world that had made her. </span><br />
<br />
She would live for them. <br />
<br />
<span style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_b">She would live.</span> <br />
<br />
Settling upon the softened moss and pelts inside what was made into her whelping den, she could not hold herself upright. Her head was quick to fall, landing against ground or body, whatever caught her faster. <br />
<br />
She knew she would have little say in all who came to her now, whether Emperor or Empress, but it was not them she would focus upon to keep herself tethered. <br />
<br />
It was her husband, the man who had saved her when she did not believe herself worth saving. Her Midnight Dragon, the other half of her soul, who seemed to dull whenever her own light did. Her lady, sweetest blossom of ladies, Làn, who kept her heart beating. And Kexin, who kept that heart together even now, when it tightened and squeezed within her chest, stealing thought and breath from her.<br />
<br />
<q style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_color dialogue">You mustn’t leave me alone to do this,</q> she breathed, talking not just to one around, but to all who hovered close. <q style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_color dialogue">Please, I am—</q><br />
<br />
Shuddering, her thin cheeks hollowed, and she shook her head. Her breath caught, and she forced herself to remember. <span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">In. Out.</span><br />
<br />
Her eyes sought morning blue, mirrored in the face of her other half, and she was selfish in her look, pleading for whatever strength remained in half a soul to bleed into hers.<br />
<br />
<q style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_color dialogue"><span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">I am scared.</span></q> <span style="color: transparent; text-shadow: 0 0 1px var(--base-txt-color);"><span style="font-style: italic;" class="mycode_i">So utterly, terribly terrified.</span> </span><br />
<br />
She had never said that, never so plainly, not even as a girl bruised and jaded. But it would be a lie to say otherwise. A lie to say she could do this alone, and it would do these children no justice if the first thing she offered them was a lie.<br />
<br />
So here, in the whelping den, she shed her masks. She shed the skin she had sewn up so tight she had forgotten herself, and beneath it was simply…Rìhé. A woman becoming a mother, laboring and trembling, asking those she loved to stay and accept her as she was.</span></div></fieldset>]]></description>

<br />
Mazikeen had been quiet since the group found their home. The fires had left a lingering warmth in her bones, but it had been far too long since she’d tasted real action. Now she was on the hunt.<br />
A pretty little thing had wandered through their territory—through the High Mother’s lands. How dare he? She had seen him first. That was enough. She would escort him out… after she’d had her fun.<br />
<br />
Stalking the golden-cream pelt, Mazikeen’s mouth watered. Such a soft, pretty thing. Her tail gave a firm, eager wag; icy blue-green eyes almost twinkled as she circled wide and set her trap. Hind leg drawn up, she forced a convincing limp. A low, pained whine slipped past her teeth just as the male’s head turned.<br />
<br />
She looked at him with soft, wide eyes—the perfect picture of a wounded damsel. If only the poor fool knew what waited behind them.<br />
<br />
He hesitated, then approached. Concern softened his golden features as he drew closer, nose twitching at the faint honeysuckle scent that clung to her fur. Mazikeen kept the limp, let another soft whine escape, and edged a few careful steps toward the denser trees at the edge of the clearing. Deeper. Quieter. Away from any chance of interruption.<br />
<br />
“Easy,” the male murmured, voice gentle. “You’re hurt. Let me—”<br />
<br />
She let him come within reach. Let him lean in, scenting the air, checking her raised hind leg. The moment his muzzle dipped low enough, the act dropped.<br />
Mazikeen’s weight shifted in a single, explosive surge. She slammed into him shoulder-first, driving them both into the undergrowth. Teeth flashed; claws raked. The golden male yelped as she pinned him hard against the earth, her athletic frame locking him down with practiced ease. One forepaw pressed across his throat just shy of crushing it.<br />
<br />
<q style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_color dialogue">Pretty little trespasser,</q> she purred, voice low and bright with delight. <q style="font-weight: bold;" class="mycode_color dialogue">You walked right into Mother’s lands… and right into me.</q><br />
<br />
She did not kill him quickly. That would have been a waste. Instead she worked him over with deliberate, sadistic precision—claws scoring shallow lines across his shoulders and flanks, teeth testing the soft places at his throat and belly without quite ending it. Every time he thrashed or pleaded she only smiled wider, eyes half-lidded with pleasure at the way fear flooded his scent. Idle motes of light from the Mark of Mythris drifted around them like cold sparks, illuminating the scene in soft, eerie glimmers.<br />
<br />
The male’s struggles grew desperate. In a wild, last-ditch twist he lunged upward, jaws snapping not at her throat but at the slender cord around her neck. The necklace—simple, personal, something she never removed—parted with a sharp snap. Beads and pendant scattered into the leaf litter.<br />
Mazikeen froze for half a heartbeat.<br />
<br />
Then the soft, playful cruelty vanished.<br />
<br />
A low, furious growl rolled up from her chest. Her gaze sharpened into something colder. She pinned him harder, jaws opening wide, and this time there was no restraint left in her. The kill was swift, brutal, and absolute—driven by the insult of the snapped necklace as much as by the trespass itself. When it was done she rose slowly, shaking blood from her muzzle, and stood over the still form for a long, quiet moment.<br />
<br />
She hummed lowly, staring at the male, a little grin settling across her jaws and slowly she turned. Digging her back paws in and kicking dirt and mud at the body, a small show of where he'd forever remain, one with the dirt. Whilst she'd remain standing, remain serving and adoring Bly. Oh..oh how she adored Bly, the high mother had the siren's whole heart should she want to pluck it straight from her chest, she'd tear her own chest cavity open so the mother didn't have to struggle.<br />
