somebody make me feel alive
It isn't long that the queen stands waiting before they arrive. The first to stumble in is an unfamiliar roan. She is polite but faltering, so without a second thought the queen rushes to her side. "You are quite welcome to stay for as long as you need my friend" the queen replies as she helps stabilize the larger horse, pressing up against her side as she tries to direct her towards the pool.
The next to come is her ever faithful adviser. Texas looks much better than he had at their last meeting. Beqanna's gift already working it's way through the kingdom. Once Shatter has taken care of Eld she greets him. "Ah, Texas! you are looking better! I'm so pleased to see you." She beams at him so happy that he would be around for longer than she had previously anticipated.
The last to approach is her daughter, and in truth she is surprised that Tyrna had made the attempt to present herself at all. Shatter had seen the figure of her daughter as she passed through the border forests, but it was like seeing a ghost. The queen was saddened every time they were near each other. The once bright and outgoing child had changed into some predatory beast, prowling the woods as a tale to frighten children. Of course the queen had heard the howls, but she was never able to determine the source for certain. The queen bobs a return greeting to her daughter but leaves it at that, if Tyrna wanted to talk to her she would in her own time.
Once she has finished surveying the crowd, Shatter smiles gleefully at those gathered. "It is good to see you, Texas, Tyrna. Eld if you would like to stay you are welcome to for as long as you like. As for you other two," she looks both of her loyal family over, "I have had an audience with the Falls, and Beqanna is giving our kingdom power. Our healing waters are diminished for now but as you can see," and here she pulls her watery armor around herself," our powers are back. What was once gone has returned and will not dissipate over time." She looks over those assembled to see if there is any reaction before continuing.
"Texas, Tyrna I would like both of you to bath in the renewed waters, Beqanna has granted us extra powers that will reveal themselves in time." Shatter nods towards the pool behind her as she speaks. "I hope you think this news is as fantastic as I do. Now, do you have any questions?" The silver queen stands gleaming and hopeful before the waterfall waiting to see how the others react.
