More and more sisters join them, voicing their concerns about Scorch and giving assent to the new Khaleesi. It becomes quite the gathering - more sisters than Lyris has seen in years. It appears that the combination of potential tragedy and a new ruler has brought everyone out of the woodwork so to speak.
Little time is wasted on pleasantries however (as it should be, given the situation). Sunday immediately tries to assist the fallen Scorch and other voices offer their assistance, one of which briefly catches her interest. Prague (whom Lyris vaguely remembers from the army meeting) reveals her true age and her magical abilities, and Lyris files the nugget away before joining the procession to the Falls. A rather interesting piece of information after all.
They reach the former neutral kingdom in what Lyris assumes is record time (considering Scorch’s condition), and the former queen immediately … gives in to instinct. The whole thing is rather messy and unpleasant and Lyris hangs back, letting the more … experienced, take lead. She can help field any questions from any Falls members that show up anyway.
In a surprisingly short period of time, a dark messy bundle slides down into the shallows. Gross. Yeah she’s not feeling so enthusiastic about the whole childbirth thing.
The hairless mare stumbles over to the thing and cleans it off. And then, after she names the thing, she starts going a little loopy. The former Khaleesi starts stumbling about, calling out what Lyris assumes is a name. “Volcan?” Her head cocks to the side in puzzlement as, which turns to concern as the mare collapses. It happens too quickly for her to cushion the mare’s fall with winds.
Eventually though, the mare stirs again, and another sister steps forward to look after the child. Lyris hangs back still - she’s clearly not needed. Not yet anyhow.
