And while he pointed at the stars, excitedly describing the patterns and meanings behind them, gesturing wildly with his one hand and squeezing the other in mine, I realized I loved him. I didn’t say it then.

and:

I didn’t open my eyes once I woke up. It must have been a dream. Instead, I found my hand to his bare chest and inhaled deeply. A combination of sweat, menthol cigarettes, and the lingering tang of his lemon cologne. It was him. Only him.

I shifted under the sheets and pressed my face in the crook of his neck, and inhaled again.

Gabriele stirred. “Cucciolino,” he mumbled. The early morning made his voice more raspy than usual. The early morning had become my favorite time of day.

I paused, finally opening my eyes. “Did you call me a dog?”

“No, silly.” His finger traced the bridge of my nose. “You’re sniffing me. Like a puppy. It’s sweet.”

I laughed and shook my head. It did not matter what he called me.

Lilith always claimed that Wenduag had a jealous streak.

Jamais Vu, Chapter 56 letter preface:

It is a known fact that Galfrey is over a hundred years of age and is the edlest daughter of the last prince of Mendev. The last prince of Mendev died suspiciously on a diplomatic mission to Sarkoris in the year 4601. Galfrey was quickly crowned the head of state. She was also a paladin of Aroden until her god died five years after she took the throne.

Not enough give Galfrey the credit she is due, both for surviving the death or her god and the end of an era and perhaps simply for enduring. A whole century, five crusades, the loss of her entire family, and being the head of a nation whose lifeblood has soaked the soil. Galfrey is the queen of a crusader nation, not a person to almost everyone that's ever met her or so, that much has been my impression from what I've seen and read

The Worldwound opened in 4606 AR with the first crusade starting in 4622 AR. I've written before the state of each crusade and how they all ended. There's countless pages, books, first hand accounts and more to tell us about the Crusades. But when we look past Galfrey and the Crusades and instead look to her bloodline, the waters get murky.

Records indicate Galfrey had other siblings, but I cannot find their names, their dates of birth, nor even when they died. Asking Galfrey would get me nowhere, because if those records are gone. I think her hand is likely behind it. And Daeran, has only ever mentioned his mother's name, offering very little unless he wants to share.

Which I feel is understandable. He does say she was a 'real' mother rather than a Countess mother. It makes me think she was more interested in being a good parent than proper nobility. Galfrey has also commented that as a child, Daeran was quite sweet.

It says much that when they have mentioned their family, not even Galfrey's own father's name is mentioned. Even Daeran's never said his father's name- rather he's only admitted her had a father in passing. But Sileana Arendae's name and the few memories they have shared, are spoken of with sorrowfully sacred tones. What they don't share makes it seem like her death is just as fresh now, as it was when she passed away. Perhaps Sileana was what kept the last of her family together. The brightest light in their lives and a presence that filled a room.

And when that light and presence are gone, you're left with empty space and a cold chill.

I can't bring myself to do more than look at records and art. It is not my wound to tear open. Not my scab to scratch at, so to speak. But from the one painting I have seen of Sileana, I can tell she was also an aasimar like Daeran is. Which, in itself, is something worth noting.

To offer up a bit of useful information: You could have a child with an angel and that child might not be an aasimar and instead be an ordinary child of your species. You can't pair couples together to guarantee an assimar child because it is so wildly random. Rather, an aasimar child might show up seventeen generations later. It's a random throw of the dice, unpredictable and very uncertain. But without getting into how society views aasimar for now (Because once I bring in Tieflings, the subject becomes something I need several pots of ink to write.), keep in mind that they are very very very rare and equally as random in bloodlines.

In the painting of Sileana and a very young toddler Daeran I can see the lines of her face. She seems to be shorter than Daeran is now. Her dress is simple, nails unpainted with her waist length hair tucked behind pointed ears. She has a necklace with a green stone that looks like Daeran's eyes.

But what strikes me more than the simple outfit is how happy she looks on a seesaw made using a wooden plank over a rock looking at her child. It's a far cry from the usual portraits of nobility looking formal and bedecked in jewels and valuable clothes.

I've never seen another portrait of her. Not in any history book, not in the Nobility Ascendant book, not so much as a line to describe her. Even her grave, I was told, was simple, but elegant.

More than anything else, a investigation into Galfrey's family, showed me some of their deepest still bleeding wounds that she carries alongside her last remaining living family member.

Strange to think this came from a desire to see if I could find him a unique birthday gift, doesn't it?
