[QUOTE="GlassEye, post: 2985944, member: 40413"] Ymris drags herself awake, disorientation from sleep and dark dreams pulling at her body and mind like chains, slowing her reactions. Blearily she casts her gaze around her momentarily confused to find herself waking [i]here[/i]. Even the dim light makes her sleep sensitive eyes squint. Rubbing gummed matter from her eyes she pulls herself from her bed. Instinctively she begins the stretches and slowed stances that have begun her day for the past 30 years. Her body begins to waken and limber but the peace of mind these movements normally instill is elusive to thoughts still heavy with dream-mist. Mist. The dream. The girl. The reading... Patterns of movement are shattered by the sudden clarity of memory of the dream that now crashes through her mind like thunder. Gasping as if she had just spent the past hour sparring with the Maidens, Ymris sinks down onto the cot that served as her bed and clutches her head in her hands. Thoughts whirl about in her head skipping about but repeatedly returning to two things: the girl and the reading. Deliberately shying away from thoughts of the girl Ymris concentrates on the reading to no avail. [i]I gave up my daughter to be raised by another woman. Does she forgive me? Do I [b]need[/b] forgiveness?[/i] With sudden and sharp pain Ymris realizes that for the first time since she gave her daughter away she feels regret for having done so. Regret turns to a sickening feeling in her gut as her thoughts jump to the third casting and the fate? that Metropolis will burn and every woman in it. Or something worse. A plaintive meow from beyond her shuttered window interupts her thoughts. As she opens the window a large battered tabby cat leaps onto the sill, stretches and then settles himself. [color=orange]"Ay, Thom. That yowling kept me up half the night. I'm surprised no one set the dogs out on you."[/color] Thom twitches his broken tail and lifts one paw and begins to lick it.
