- sometimes in the wind of change -
She is usually not that hard to find, though today she’d been herb gathering, coming and going from the greenhouse in preparation for the coming cooler months. Which of course means that she is not just standing around weeding the garden or greenhouse making herself nice and easy to find. It’s mid-afternoon when Yael finds her, true to her word that she’d find them tomorrow. Lyanna wonders briefly if she already found Aly, figuring that is likely where the golden mare had spent her morning, though not sure and also not sure it’s really her business.
“Yael,” she says warmly as her friend comes to join her. She’d just dropped off some herbs and was wandering through the Edge looking for more, but had nothing picked yet, so this was the perfect time to talk. “Let’s walk?” she asks, because it was a beautiful day really. Tallsun is pleasant as it comes to a close, the days still hot but in a pleasant way, just warm enough to enjoy the sun on your back without roasting.
She nods in the direction of the cliff, settling into stride with Yael through the familiar forest of the Edge. “I don’t know how interesting my life really is, but here goes. I’m from a land called Morham, where my parents ruled. The teal coloring in a mark of the royal family, passed down through the generations. I had two other siblings, an old brother destined for the throne and a younger, rather spoiled, little sister.” She pauses for a moment, the trees thinning, the cliff beginning to come into view. It’s a sight she never get tired of.
She cannot bring herself to talk more of her family. To talk Yael how Corbin once trained her, how Adelene was spoiled rotten. How she missed them with almost every waking moment. At least, not yet. It seemed easier to just start with the basic story, to get through it, to let it sit in the air for once and not hang around her neck like a weight she cannot stand again. “There were all manner of horses in Morham, but the monarchs had always been Pegasi. Unicorns and equines were not treated unfairly, they simply could not rule. My parents were kind, though just. But still, sometimes the crown glitters too brightly for others to resist.”
She wonders how those that took over are faring, if they regret the taking the weight of the crown. It is beautiful, yes, but it is heavy. It is not something she’d ever sought to bear the responsibility of. “While my brother served his time in the army, some of the rebels slit his throat while he slept. When my parents went to investigate, much of the camp turned on them and murdered them as well. My sister and I, still at home, were aided by a few loyal servants and managed to escape. We found Helovia, and I left my sister in the Threshold to choose her own path. She did not stay, and I don’t know where she went." Someday, perhaps, she would look for her sister. But where would she even go? And if she failed to find her, the guilt might crush her.
“After that, I think you know most of the story. I came to the Edge after Elsa invited me, and met Alysanne when I got here. She was a Moon Doctor at the time, and she taught me much of what I know about healing. When she was promoted to Queen, I took her place as Moon Doctor.” She smiles at that, always enjoying how her life has followed her mentor’s and friend’s so well. There were certainly some good things in her life, despite the hell that had brought her here, Aly and Yael included.
