It's Time To Begin, Isn't It?

Raisa could not believe her eyes. This little creature... It was hardly recognizable, having been so young when Raisa had last seen the creature, but... Sure it was her daughter's steward. She began to quiver, uncertain if this was reality or simply another waking dream. The creature spoke, said her name... Raisa... the woman echoed in her thoughts. So odd to hear someone other than Koros voice her name. She turned and found her own steward staring at the fox with the same disbelief that she herself felt. But he did not quiver, he was not being suffocated by his fear as she was. "Korrin!" her own companion whispered out, awed. "What on earth happened to you, child? Is Lady Svetlana near?" There were so many questions swirling in his mind but those two were the only ones that managed to pass his lips.

Raisa could say nothing at all, merely gawk and clench her jaw. A ghost from her moons spent feral, she had the urge to run, but she quelled it down with a vicious ferocity, clenching her eyes shut. No. Never again. She would die before allowing herself to fall victim to the madness. Her bi-colored gaze would turn to the woods around them, scanning them for the familiar coat of her daughter, so like her own, as if left under the sun for too long. Svetlana had always been the sweetest of her children, always had kind words to share. Raisa remembered her rotund little body bouncing after her siblings. She would trail after Valeriya and Sigmarr, chastising them when they fought or got too rough. It was enough to bring tears to her eyes, but she would not allow herself even to blink. No, she would be ready when she faced her child again for the first time since her failure.
