Epiphron had missed her children so dearly. For so long, she had been caught up in Maverick, in building a new life with him, in rekindling whatever excitement they had left in them -- that she had drifted from her children. And their journey had failed regardless. They had not found what they wanted in Ebony, and Maverick had satisfied his needs with another woman. He had apologized, and he had paid for his betrayal, but that didn't seem quite enough to her even still. "Isolde," she repeated breathlessly, wondering how long it had been since she had spoken her daughter's name. "You don't have to apologize." She had left, too; the Kingdom of Seracia had changed drastically, and it seemed none of the Adravendi-Mathias family had able to stay there comfortably any longer. How could she blame Isolde for realizing it before she had? Perhaps her daughter was wise beyond her years. She pulled her daughter closer to her, nuzzling into the fur of her neck. Isolde was much older now, and far more beautiful -- exactly what she had expected. She was growing into a woman, and was no longer the child she had known seasons ago. "I have missed you, my beautiful daughter." Slowly she pulled away, examining her more thoroughly. "Have you seen any of your siblings? Or have you been alone all this time? Tell me everything." |
