MAKE A WISH UPON A STAR

She had known she wouldn't make it in time. The journey was long, the terrain was difficult, and Poe had only just arrived back to give her the location of the herbs she sought, luckily in time for her to send her son to retrieve them as she ventured north. Natalya then made haste with her raven as her guide, cursing her blindness for the first time in seasons. No matter how skilled she was in dealing with her difficulty, she could not make travel any faster. Feeling out the ground took time, as did relying on someone else's eyes but the raven was an exceptional communicator and helped her along at a decent clip.
The scene Natalya arrived to was chaotic. Wolves of Ebony were scattered among the few family members present, and it appeared that the Ebony alphess had come to join Virgil in the wonder of childbirth. Nat was unable to avoid the shake of her head at the situation. Virgil was not a stupid girl, but she still had much to learn. She was a bold leader, and a strong one at that. She was also impulsive and often made decisions without considering any of the repercussions. It was how her family had ended up in conflict with Ludicael and the reason they now struggled to assist their matriarch in childbirth at a land on the opposite side of Alacritia from their home. Hopefully motherhood would tame the girl a bit. After all, she was still young with a lot of life ahead of her. The lessons would never stop coming.
I'm sorry that I'm late, she breathed as Poe perched on her shoulder. Hermes, thank you for retrieving the motherwort, you did well. Everyone please back away to give the healer room to help them. Miss Elsa, is there anything that we can do to help you?
and quoth the raven, "nevermore"
