Rayne’s mother
(After checking her notes, Blue
found a parallel in her interviews in Galilan. The place she interviewed Rees
after annihilation was also the place she spoke briefly with an older woman
before the destruction of the city and after the soltakin commenced the
campaign of terror. She swiftly deduced she had had words with Rees and Rayne’s
mother and was thus one of the last to have seen her alive)
Blue: My lady, you should be indoors.
It isn’t safe.
Rayne’s
mother: Can’t
call anywhere safe, my dear. Walls and closed doors will not stop those fiends.
Blue: Lady, is there someone with
you? Your children?
Rayne’s
mother: Essie
from next door. We keep each other company through everything good and bad. My
children have their own lives…my daughter gallivants in the country as if she’s
a spoilt rich girl and my son flits everywhere trying to be Valaris’ saviour…forgive
me, I find I’m disappointed that they saw fit to…to…
Blue: Abandon you?
Rayne’s
mother: Forgive
me, no. Rees is a good girl and will be here as soon as she can. And Rayne … well,
Rayne is what he is, isn’t he? How dare I deny that? How dare I deny our people
his abilities?
Blue: My lady, where is Rayne now?
(The woman unfortunately returned
indoors then, perhaps realising she had revealed too much. Blue has not
discovered her name, and there is no image on record of Rayne’s mother)
