#lillemor

they are soooo edmund and peter coded!! and both younger siblings going thru sm and sacrificing themselves for their older siblings, THEIR TETHER!! 😭🩷

I don't want to get too deep into what happened since it would spoil a lot of chapter 6 and 7. But, yes! They did try to find their children when they were stolen. I should mention that the MC's birth Parents, Abeshai and Lillemor didn't just lose the MC that night. But the twins, Soren and Gralon (names subject to change - Poll incoming). Both of whom were 16 years old at the time. (The MC was around four/five at the time.)

Near the end of the Prologue, the MC has a chance to decide the singular memory that they remember of their past. That being:

(Nothing) The day they met the apprentice. The crone. Everything else is a blur.

(Fear) Running through a burnt forest as they are hunted by a howling monster.

(Comfort) A soft voice whispering in their ear, a hand covering their eyes.

(Blood) A pair of boys, young and vicious. Fighting a never-ending sea of shade and rot.

(Daggers) A man, grizzled and bleeding screams a name. Taken by the ghosts that control him.

“she took the kids in the divorce”

“but those are...wolf pups?” 

“never said they were my kids”

“hey [herbalist name], how’re your pups?”

“oh, lillemor really wanted jasper. said his “pretty splotches” were in “high demand” and someone else would love the chance to have him.”

“what?? so you just gave her your last surviving son???”

“i mean she gave me 25 silver cones in return so i’d say its a pretty solid deal.”

“hello herbert, dear, how’s playing in the dirt treating you?”
