Mother

Written by Susie
Myria often wondered what her mother was like.

Was she beautiful, like Mara? Clever like Symon? Charming like Rylon?

She imagined how she might have moved, did she like to dance with Lucos? Did she sway to the music, or flow from one movement to the next?

Myria wondered if she sang; songs of Dorne, of love, of lullabies to her children?

Could she read and write? Did she love stories, or histories, or both? Was she bored by courtly meetings, or did they thrill her?

She wondered, was she kind and generous? Did the smallfolk love her? Did she love them? Was she in love with Lucos? Was he with her?

Yes, Myria often wondered about her mother. But she had learned not to ask.
