Watching as Ravyn sheathes Honor and walks quickly from the Sacred Grove, Khrys waits for Daemon to leave the Grove as well... silently quieting the fussing child in her arms. After much time has passed, concerned over what may have happened, Khrys enters the grove. A feeling of love and awe comes over her as she turns looking about the place she has heard of, yet never dared set foot in... the Home of the Lady... the Goddess. ::Smiling
quietly, she realizes that even Brianna is quiet and wide eyed.
Whispering so as to not disturb the peace of the sacred place, she calls upon the name of the Lady as she was taught it, "Kaewyn... Lady... please.. I need you... " The stillness of the night bids her continue. "It wasn't his fault. Please, you know this. Allow him a chance at redemption." In tears herself over the anguish she has seen in his eyes, beseaching the unseen Goddess, Khrys sits in the center of the ring where the last of the
Swords, Honor, had so recently stood. Crying softly, looking only at her daughter, she fails to see, or even to feel Kaewyn until the Goddess is touching the child's head in benediction.
"Lady..." Lowering her head she waits. As the Lady moves from the Grove, Khrys can hear her promise on the wind.........

"Your Love for him has given him his chance...... He has but to find it....."

Looking up at the words, tears freeling flowing, she sees Brianna smiling happily after Kaewyn, a birthmark that hadn't been there before, in shape of a small heart just above the child's left ear.

Entering the Sacred Grove quiely, she remembers the last time she had come here. She moves to the center of the Grove, running her hand in the air along the ring of holes where once the 8 Swords of RhyDin had stood.... Stopping where *Honor* had so recently rested.

"Kaewyn... Lady.... Had I but known what would be the outcome of my request... I'd have not made it. A hard thing, Lady... 'tis truly a hard thing to bear."

She leaves the Grove as quielty as she entered...............
