My mother didn’t look like my mother as she looked at Rowaness. She appeared as a child seeking comfort. “This is not your battle, Mother.” “I fought to get you into this world, Hazeluna. That fight never stops. Mothers are the most absolute, fearsome force in this world. Why else do we share the title of the mother herself? Never doubt that I would tear someone’s throat out if they tried to hurt you. As to what’s ahead. I choose it with my head held high, unapologetically and without regret. As you will do.” My mother tilted her chin higher. “As I will do.”
