Chapter 396: Sylvan Mother
“Sabina?” Stryg stopped in his steps and stared at Virella, the Silver Mother.
Why had she mentioned that name? Every Sylvan goblin had heard of Sabina. She was always spoken of with respect and fear. Surely, Virella wasn’t speaking of the same person. Could She?
“You mean Sabina the Mother Elect? Of the Sylvan tribunal? Why would I be worried about her?” Stryg asked, a hint of worry in his voice.
Virella’s smile fell. “Auri really never told you anything, did she?”
“First Mother rarely says anything beyond what is necessary. …You make it sound like there is something I should know about Sabina. What don’t I know about the Mother Elect?”
Virella opened her mouth to speak, but she hesitated and glanced at Aurelia and the others walking towards them from the end of the hall. She looked at Stryg and forced herself to smile. “...I’m sure you’ll find out soon enough, though there is nothing for you to worry about. Auri and I will take care of everything.”
“I’d much rather know, if it’s all the same to you,” Stryg bowed his head respectfully.
“You younglings, so worried about what may or may not come,” Virella grinned softly.
“What are you two talking about?” Aurelia asked as she drew closer.
