Aly studied the
two letters she'd received today thoughtfully. She'd known they had to be in the middle of this, there's no way Alanna would have missed Bridge and Xander's wedding if she hadn't been under the press of Uncle Jon's coronation debacle. But to receive the tangible proof of it - it made her shudder and hope and send a prayer to the Mother Goddess that She would protect both her chosen one and Kawalsky as they fought their way towards becoming the people she knew as her parents.
The letters had put her in a quiet mood, and even though she trusted both of them implicitly, she couldn't help thinking that tonight - or the next night or the next - might be the last time she was herself.
