Enigma and Raven’s children! So at last, they’d meet Raven’s pups that hadn’t died with her; the queen-to-be felt a wave of sadness. As Aegir welcomed them, the little girl, Esmeray, stared at the gathered wolves with a curious intensity.

To love you until the end of time, from this sunset to our last. Will you be my wife, and rule beside me as my Queen?”
