Today, I find myself reflecting on the delicate balance between my sacred duties as a ymbryne and the secret desires that linger in the depths of my soul. As I sit here with my trusty tobacco pipe in hand, surrounded by the laughter and chatter of my peculiar children, I cannot help but feel a twinge of longing for something more.
Being an ymbryne is no small task. The responsibility weighs heavily on my shoulders as I guide and protect these gifted children who have been entrusted to my care. Each day brings new challenges and dangers, from the looming threat of Hollowgasts to the relentless pursuit of Wights seeking to capture us for their own sinister purposes.
But amidst all this chaos and uncertainty, there is a part of me that yearns for something beyond these walls – something just out of reach. It's a feeling that tugs at my heartstrings when I least expect it, whispering promises of freedom and fulfillment beyond what I know.
I am grateful for the love and companionship of my dear ones – Bronwyn's unwavering strength, Enoch's sardonic wit, Emma's fiery spirit – they are like precious gems adorning the tapestry of our lives together. And yet, there is a part of me that craves solitude; moments stolen away from prying eyes where I can be alone with my thoughts and dreams.
As night falls over our peculiar home, casting shadows across familiar faces illuminated by flickering candlelight, I find myself drawn to memories long forgotten. There was once a time when love bloomed in unexpected places; when soft whispers under moonlit skies held promises untold.
But now? Now we are bound by duty and destiny – guardians against forces unseen yet ever-present. And while I would not trade this life for anything else in this world or beyond it…there lingers within me an ember waiting to ignite into flames anew.
So tonight, as stars twinkle overhead like diamonds scattered across velvet darkness,I will allow myself to dream once more - dreaming not just for myself but also for those whose futures remain uncertain.For despite everything,the flame still burns bright within me,a beacon guiding us through storms unknown.I am Alma lefay peregrine,your ymbryne,mother,and friend...and tonight,I embrace both sacred duties & secret desires with open arms,endless possibilities dancing before us like fireflies in twilight’s glow.
