An older veilspun, with children and a cruel ex husband locked away in a clan cell, Duskspinner was talked into taking a chance on a dating game by her bard, Dreamwalker.

It changed her world. She found a warrior lady to love and cherish her, and a home she could be happy and comfortable in.

Whether or not the soulmate thing was real, she's happy.




Old:
The young Veilspun had been traveling a fair distance before she found Gamma wandering on the edge of the forest. He was large, but charming in his own way. An exile. She brought him to a place few know of. There was old magic there. A chance at an ancient magic. And he chose to accept her invitation.

And Duskspinner didn't even have to control him to get him to agree. He wanted the power. He wanted her. They'll be together forever. Yes, he wanted revenge... But is that really unexpected after his clan left him for dead?

She didn't know how incomplete his tale was...

But as each clutch was born, it became more obvious how much of a mistake she'd made. Each child she held to comfort, crying as they cried from the runes. Berry. Argos. Esmond. (The poor kidnapped imperial she loves as a son and makes Argos as happy she thought Gamma would her.) Thistle, poor ignorant Thistle. He doesn't even know they're there now.

And her little Orchid, that Gamma named Diviner... That he made incapable of doing anything without instructions. It was only good fortune Duskspinner found a way to add to the bindings to give a loophole to give him freedom when Gamma wasn't around.
