💎- A precious memory they hold dear
Such memories so dear she held too close to a stone heartless core. Keevahs truest son, Krienast, was being trained by her Lieutenant, Nal'thanil, to escalate the boy's training.
She saw the boys hesitance, self-doubt, anxiety - all during his trainings. When he approached her, she saw how nervous he was to speak his mind, the confusion why she would not train him herself. It was perhaps the first time he ever confronted her of why she was always in the shadows. Watching.
It was that day she told him part of her life to him, knowing well his horrid life all too well when her commander found him, Keevah was the same in the beginning when first seeing the boy - her reluctance to aid, not knowing him well enough to trust.
Now seeing him, hearing him, Keevah saw small reflections of herself in the boy at last, and how contempt and understanding he was hearing her issues of raising another child, or to at least try to do it right.
He showed her that day, he wasn't afraid of being trained by her - but he still trained with Nal, with more pride.
But even more pride, to Keevah.
He made her feel more alive, and the chance to be a mother. To the best of her abilities.
