“Was it really only two years ago?” The little stargazer asked, looking out across the water. She stood on the beach with her mother, listening with rapt attention and still coming up with a dozen questions to ask. Today’s lesson was the more recent history of the Throat, though the filly’s mind was wrapping her mind around the complexity and relativism of the word ‘recently’. Her life may have began the last time Tallsun had shed its light upon the Throat, but the things she had seen stretched eons. How often did she reach back with her magic to see the events that might once have been monumental but now left no trace upon the earth? For Asavvi, the movements of ancients could happen in the ‘now’ and still somehow two years seemed like such a very long time. It’s all relative. “Yes! Where the water stretches from here to the rest of Helovia, the land used to be quite different. When I first came here it was a wide and rocky canyon and for a time there was only a narrow strip of land connecting us to the Heart lands.” Meg was patient in explaining the story, though she could hardly understand why her daughter was more entertained by these tales than galavanting off into mischief. Mordecai and Nizho where rarely content to sit quietly and listen to Meg for an extended period of time, but that seemed to be all Asavvi was ever interested in doing. “When I was still a warrior, all of Dragon’s Throat participated in a quest so we could better guard our home. We gather what we had been instructed to gather-your Mai even lit a torch from the fires of the Heart—and the Sun God was pleased with out efforts so he took the land bridge and left his bridge in its place. That’s why we need the keys—“ The sultana cut herself off when she looked down and was surprised to see she no longer had her daughter’s attention. The girl’s blue-grey eyes peered across the waters, half-shut against the winds as she tried to focus on the opposite shore “Is there someone over there?” she murmured, turning to find her mothers eye before glancing back. Meg strained her sight, wishing Gwaihir could have been there with his much keener eyes. the faint lines of figures moved on the distant beach, moved toward the water… Surely no one wound attempt a swim, especially at this time of year. “I think it must be the diviner. Yes look, she’s got that boat of hers…” Meg smiled and gave an baffled shake of her head. The tiger mare was an odd one, that was sure, but after their last (and first?) meeting she had taken a liking to her. “Let’s wait and greet them, shall we?” Asavvi nodded and enthusiastic content and the pair watched out over the water follow the progress of the little boat.
