Having erased her time with any of her children the goddess was not able to go after the ones who prevented her from stealing another soul. The goddess wasn’t stupid however and knew that pouting over one soul would not help her forest. Soon the young and desperate mother was forgotten by those who didn’t know her. Over time the goddess even forgot her. The mother’s children never forgot, though they didn’t pass on the story to their children. The soothsayer also kept quiet even though she hadn’t been aware of the plane she had seen a soul escape the forest that night. No questions where ever asked and in a sad way it was like the mother had no impact on the forest at all. Except for her two mighty warriors, the great leader, the powerful mage, and the man who would become soothsayer after nattalia. They all went on to have a huge impact on the forest. They united the forest and though they could never break the goddess’ spell they did make the forest a more habitable and civilized place to live. No mothers ever had to watch their children die, and no children ever had to watch the suffering of a dying mother.
