Thought I'd have a go at this future thing, there's a few references in there that only a few will get...

Many years have passed, and Sheyna is now 167, though thanks to the Mordred Device that’s more like 190. Given her expected lifespan as about 450, she’s not doing that bad. Her Wereform has a bit more white amongst the silver, but not much else has changed about her.
All her kids, both natural and adopted, have an amount of human blood in them so they are aging faster than she did as a child, but not so fast that there are grandchildren just yet.
Gabriel is determined to follow in his father’s footsteps and has moved to Gallathrix. He now lives near his Great Great Aunt Eliedra, and is dedicated to becoming Head Ritualist for the Palatinate, before aiming for High Ritualist of the Lions.
Lorcan and Angor both moved back to Erin once they came of age and are continuing the work their father did as travelling healers to the common folk. Bradamant stayed in Lantia, and with the help of Elthian they founded a Bards Guildhouse near Sheyna’s house, and called it Evenstar Hall in honour of Kate and Va’len.
Ella decided early on to throw herself into the life of a Priestess of Selune. She was duly never taught the signature of the circle, and last year she was sent out on field duty to a random circle somewhere in the world - Sheyna wasn’t supposed to know which one but Bliquis gave her the nod and wink.
Kald, Gunnolf and Kleng Raphael - who all finally figured out how to shift to human form when they hit 20 - stayed on Sammarix to farm, and form the basis of a dedicated Pack. Kiirin stayed too, and amongst them they are doing a marvellous job of bringing acceptance of Weres to the Lions, carrying on the job that Giblet and Ravenfire helped start. As the various human members of Lupus’s Bloodline aged and died, so the family got adopted in and now they form a substantial chunk of the Pack. Torvell is still around, and frequently mothers them.
The cabin Sheyna lives in on Sammarix has acquired neighbours, and a veritable village is springing up on the edge of the forest below the mountains. The cubs all built new homes in the area, and Evenstar Hall is only a few hundred feet from her front door. She had a special home built adjacent to it, for when Cosaint finally caves to pleas from his extended family to retire and come live next door. There is even a special table built in to the wall next to the fire so she can do his back without him getting cold. Secretly she knows he’ll just keep going until he falls over though - some songs are just a little too accurate.
Sheyna still works in the Lantian hospitals. Enough human generations have passed that the old stigmas and prejudices are long forgotten. She still does work on campaign too, though not as much as before. When Giblet retired she carried on for a good few years before passing on the reins to younger hands. When Irinaye got too old to bodyguard any more, Sheyna stepped away from that side of things as well. She had too many fond memories of times spent with Glue to start again with someone new.
Tawny Owl remained Prey Huntmaster for many years. For some reason, no-one wanted to Challenge her for it. Predator changed hands many times, Carrion slightly less - until one day Kiirin (or Guttata as she was otherwise known - no surprise to those who knew her original namesake) stepped up, Challenged and won. Sheyna backed away gracefully, and had an interesting year or two whilst Selune reasserted Herself as her link to the Plane of Life. She still incants by Malar though, and accepts the frequent annoyed Harms as One Of Those Things. When her field duty time was up, she elected not to go back to Deephaven with her older brother (who came to tell her where the circle was), who was not surprised in the slightest to see she had a big family. Her sister Kethry, when she had recovered from her eyes turning brown again, had also settled down and started a large family. She does regularly visit though.
Sheyna is still single. After Anders died she had a brief foray with another committed relationship, but when he died as Knight Marshall on campaign she decided that apart from the occasional fling, she would settle for enjoying the family she had. The only other person she’d ever seriously (if briefly) considered never wanted her that way anyway, and the bonds of family were more than enough for her. Plus she knows that eventually she’ll see her first true love again: He tells her this on his visits whenever he gets bored in Avalon.
