text with sketch rough illustrations : Enough.
Yes. I am mortal.
I even carry the blood of the very king you are so
quick to remember as a traitor in me.
I am also of my foremother.
Who fled. And resisted.
I have lived every day in -her- spirit.
I was barely of age when I left my village, alone, before being condemned for the crime of -being abandoned- .
Forced to build a home for my son while always considered outcast.
Many of that 'community' found suffering nearly to the grave preferable to seeking my assistance -- with no guarantee of compensation.
I screamed into deaf ears of the rising shadow and near gave my life defending them.
I started over.
Raised gardens praised even by your kind.
I stayed on the battlefield with my son
and the son – you shamed- for having no love of war
until the very last moment I could before my daughter arrived.
I have fought against that song in my veins that has pulled me towards dark paths at every turn.
But I swear to you this –
if you EVER speak of my daughter in such terms again
I will unleash all of the fury that I've swallowed against you.
And you will
-NEVER-
even -lay eyes upon- your other -grandchildren-
when they greet the world.

It does not change that you have still doomed my son.
Of that I am -painfully- aware.
And I will fight beyond my last breath
for his suffering to be eased.
I don't see why that is even of concern
to the one who once declared
his son was -dead- to him.

If curious,one of the biggest reasons I'm enamored with #Bronwyn is in what we know of her she continues despite circumstances.
Let's just say when she meets #Arondir 's father in #saplingnote au, it does not go well.
