I moved my foot so that it touched his back and added my strength to his, he could heal himself better than I could at this point. Grandmere and I used every bit of healing that the Goddess had blessed us with, mine more herb-lore than magic. I thought back to that week, Christof and a strange woman had come to the door, with Tannick barely holding to life. To ask for something so personal, required a personal sacrifice, the Goddess called her home, that was what she asked. I was choking back sobs, but he could not know, their was no way he would understand that after all Granmere had done for our people, she had very rarely asked for help, for a boon from the Goddess. " I pressed my lip's together, as he laid his head back down. It is a huge thing to ask of the Goddess, but Granmere was willing to pay the price she asked. "I know because when Granmere asked for a seeing, the Goddess asked for a sacrifice. " How do you know what your Granmere saw was a true seeing?" I heard the doubt in his voice, but he did not understand the magic, that was ours, because it was not that which others had. I do not feel the nothing they had said would precede my desire to stop living." When I think of Christof, I see the joy of his smile, the warmth of his arm's, I feel the desire of his eye's upon me. My heart wrenches at the lose of my Granmere. " I feel happiness when I look at my son's, I feel sorrow when I look at you, for your bond is new, as is having your mate. I leaned forward and put my hand on Tannick's neck ruff. no joy at our children, should he die." I watched as Ren squirmed to get more comfortable and I smiled at him. True I can not feel him through our life bond, but the Pack's female's told me that I would not feel anything, not happy, not sad. " Tannick, my Brother, I am calm because I trust in the Goddess and I trust that my Granmere would tell nothing but the truth. the feeling that you are not whole? He has been your mate longer and you seem calm." " I can not hear him, I could always hear him, no matter how far. I miss them and I miss Granmere, but the Goddess called." "They will return, Ganmere said so, she asked for a seeing and the Goddess allowed for it. Tannick's silver-green eye's looked up at me and the pain in them was un-mistakable. The boy's were soon asleep, their little hands fisted in white fur. The wolf at my feet started a deep whine and both boy's toddled over and lay their head's on his stomach, that they should be so in-tune with emotions at such a young age did not surprise me. My heart squeezed in my chest as I looked at their silver eye's, so like their fathers I wanted to weep. I opened my eye's to see my boy's, their chubby little hand's stacking wood block's on top of each other, now and again tasting one. I quietly rubbed my wedding band against the metal strings of my Lute, producing a faint metallic humm.
