She walks silently away from them all as the last light fades from the sky.

(This one has her life and her potential. What do you have now, White Rider?)

She knows the answer, and it is bitter as ash on her tongue.

She has nothing. Not even her oldest name.

After all that, the woman once known as Blodwen Rowlands lives. Seeing her, Bran turns away, almost angrily, from the men and women fighting on the side of Light.

(I would have killed her. And murder is a sin, boy.)

(I wish you had. I wish I had.)

(Do not say that.)

(Oh, it is all right. I could not have killed her anyway. Immortal, and all that.)

Bran takes four steps towards the woman and stops, staring at her departing back.

It may well have been the sound of footsteps on the ground behind her that caught her attention, for in truth she has not yet gone far.

In any case, she hesitates, then turns.

Blue eyes meet golden ones. She says nothing.

The senses that Bran uses to recognize Light and Darkness, perhaps damaged in the last strike against the Dark, say nothing at all about the woman before him. Bran's mortal eyes tell him that something has happened to her, at any rate. She is Blodwen Rowlands, and she is not.

Flatly, without very much lilt in his voice at all, Bran says, "Now what?"

"A good question it is, I do suppose," she replies.

The light soft voice, at least, is familiar.

"Do you mean to kill me, then?"

Perched in a tree ahead of her, apparently quite by coincidence, is Peach.

She's absorbed in chewing on a branch, and makes no move to attract Blodwen's attention. Still, scarlet macaws aren't really designed for camouflage.

No, and so they are not.

Something twists in her face as she sees the bird, and she turns her steps as though to pass by to the side.

"Going somewhere?"

Still busy with the branch, not looking up.

"Observant, you are," she says-- but she does stop moving.
