Her sons are gone.
Gone into the night to make their own lives, though she is left here. She is left in the woods with a girl who reminded Lillith endlessly of herself. Eindridi, a flame burning bright with potential, but not the flame her father had wanted. All the speckled child had wished for was love, all she wanted was to be happy. It wasn't hard for Lillith to hide such wishes from Modicum, not when the girl was so young. Though by the time Gryffen had been banished, it was growing tough. The new monarchy arrived in a blaze, demanding loyalty or department. She watched with a wild gaze as the nightmother banished, and a cream mare took her place beside an ebony stallion. In horror she watched her lover flee without a single glance in even the child's direction.
Had he not been concerned for their welfare? For his daughter's at least?
"The girl and I shall stay."
Even she was baffled by the words that flew from her mouth, she couldn't look away from where he had been. Eindridi pushed restlessly at her mother's legs, begging to play. Her pale gaze lingers upon them for a moment more before the pair drift silently into the trees. Maybe they would last longer than the last.
