[private] in the bright light of these white nights

[Anaxarete]

A N A X A R E T E. Usually, the shadowmare would avoid such a scene.  But oh, not today. She’d waited months for this moment – for the product of her meddling to finally make its debut. Her debut, as it turned out.  The shadowmare was a patient being, always playing the long game.  And today, her patience had finally paid off. She had watched from the shadows.  The magic in the air was obvious. It brought a twisted smile to the dark woman’s lips.  So different from her own. So pure. Normally she wouldn’t intercede or interrupt, but what sort of friend would she be if she said nothing. After all, Agetta was here on her own invitation.  She moves casually from the shadows – her posture neutral. “I told you,” the shadowmare cooed as she neared the mare and her children, stepping into the air of magic that swirled around the scene. She offered the new parents a nod of congratulations before her gaze dropped down to the children. “They’re beautiful,” she added, politely.  And Magic indeed.  She knew better than to get too close to the newborn children, she wouldn’t want to interrupt their bond with their mother. Not yet. ”And both gifted,” she said, knowingly, knowing Agetta would know exactly what she was referring to. “Don’t worry. I’ll be here to help you teach her. Teach them both.”  The winged girl also possessed abilities, but none as powerful as her sister.  However, she knew better than to underestimate anyone – especially children.  Children who were so often overlooked. But not here. Not in her Pangea. “Congratulations,” she offers, simply, as her gaze drifts back to Agetta. queen of the shadows.
