text with sketch rough illustrations : Enough. Yes. I am mortal. I even carry the blood of the very king you are so quick to remember as a traitor in me. I am also of my foremother. Who fled. And resisted. I have lived every day in -her- spirit. I was barely of age when I left my village, alone, before being condemned for the crime of -being abandoned- . Forced to build a home for my son while always considered outcast. Many of that 'community' found suffering nearly to the grave preferable to seeking my assistance -- with no guarantee of compensation. I screamed into deaf ears of the rising shadow and near gave my life defending them. I started over. Raised gardens praised even by your kind. I stayed on the battlefield with my son and the son – you shamed- for having no love of war until the very last moment I could before my daughter arrived. I have fought against that song in my veins that has pulled me towards dark paths at every turn. But I swear to you this – if you EVER speak of my daughter in such terms again I will unleash all of the fury that I've swallowed against you. And you will -NEVER- even -lay eyes upon- your other -grandchildren- when they greet the world.

sketch outlay with illustrations with conversation text It does not change that you have still doomed my son. Of that I am -painfully- aware. And I will fight beyond my last breath for his suffering to be eased. I don't see why that is even of concern to the one who once declared his son was -dead- to him.

If curious,one of the biggest reasons I'm enamored with #Bronwyn is in what we know of her she continues despite circumstances.

Let's just say when she meets #Arondir 's father in #saplingnote au, it does not go well.
