I have seen a year as Queen of Phyrexia, and spent all those nights alone, and with only the human company of the twins, Rose, and the occassional enslaved help. Ox too, if one can count him as human. The twins have grown, getting their first teeth and taking their first steps. They babble on all the time now, and I find I can even understand them. They seem to have their own language between themselves though, both silent and verbal.
They spent their first birthdays in Phyrexia, and I began to worry how I was to make their education broad, if they were stuck here..away from what the world had always known.
..and though I hate now to admit it, I wanted them to know their father as well. I wish now I had not felt such sentiment.
I left Phyrexia, and have come back to the Sov. There is no magic here any longer, but it feels like home. I called Khaless to them, and allowed him to see his girls, only to find the very next day they were gone.
My days after that were drunken ones I am afraid, until Lucas got here. He made me see that I needed to search for them, even if there was no chance.
No sooner than we had begun to ready ourselves for the journey though, did several things happen.
A girl arrived on a running, bare horse, claiming her family had been attacked by brigands. This was while Lucas and I were out getting wood, and we knew nothing of it, as we too, were attacked in the woods.
The girl rests now, though I have not had time one to question her. She seems as skittish as a colt..and though I cannot put my finger on it..there is something Im missing.
We only briefly met her, as we came in and she was on her way up to rest.
Lucas and I sat down to drink awhile, and I was....am...still quite drunk. What a fitting time for Yawgmoth to come looking for me eh? ..but oh..he is different now, and I am very afraid for Lucas.
All of that aside though, my Lord has brought my babies back to me. He took them back from Khaless, and they are sleeping now, curled against each other and next to me in the bed. They seem unharmed, and as healthy as they were, and I have no words to express how relieved I am.
I write now in my journal as I lay here, to try and make sense of all that has happened today. What a wonder to have my babies back here with me, close that I can watch their faces as they sleep. It is a joy to me, and I cannot believe that anything could be worse than losing them.
I do not know why Yawgmoth is here in such a different form than I have ever seen him. ..it is almost human.
I do not know why Lucas is staying here..facing all of this with me. Can it be as simple as he said? Just because it is adventure? I dont know..it is impossible to know what drives a man like him. I do know that it is hard to stay away from him..for he lights a fire and he knows it. Besides all that..we are friends, in a rare way. Is my Lord Yawgmoth to claim me now, as a real wife? I do not know that either..but all of these things pale as unimportant now. My babies are back, I have them close, and bugger everything else.
