>"I figured it was from the use of your own energy to fix the Weave. That's very taxing."

"Well.... not exactly. In order to to fix the Weave I had to be willing to give up something of myself, a sacrifice of sorts. I honestly didn't think I'd survive.... but it would have protected my daughters and son and my grandchildren. It would have been worth it. I didn't just expect it to end before it drained me to nothing. I didn't think I'd ever see anyone here again."

That was an understatement about the sacrifice, it had felt like she was spinning out pieces of herself into a hungry void that would never be sated. It wasn't just energy or soul that she fed it either, she'd given it memories and emotions, enough that the years before meeting Johan were a colourless blur and several things after were gone beyond recalling. When that hadn't been enough she'd given it her health, her vitality and it had thrust her out before she could give it her life.

"There are things that I've lost because of this, things I'll never get back. I remember my father's wings and his hands but I can't remember his voice or his face and My mother is gone past any chance to call her back. I don't remember a childhood at all and there are things that I've lost that I don't even know yet."

For starters.... she didn't remember Zenra.... or Seraph... or the dwarves. Of course since she didn't remember them she couldn't say so. Looking up at the sound of the door opening she blinked and fell silent as Johan stepped in and announced that the humans weren't going to be joining them for dinner.
