"Your memories of your former life are a little mixed up." Nightfall
tells the Frost Giants. "You were my sister Princess Astra of Aqualaria,
who we thought had been killed by the dragon. But you mentioned the name
D'Honaire, and then it came back to me that that was the family name of
my mate Jarlath."
"We can't be your husband as well as your sister," Gilda objects, feeling rather confused. "No, the dragon slaying knight was Jarlath's brother, Frederigo. I remember that now. It was the king of Allaria who sent him to slay the dragon, but of course he failed." "So if the dream means anything, then one of us must be this Frederigo and the other must be Astra," Hilda says. "So we aren't both your sister, whatever we might feel." Nightfall can't argue with that logic, but... "As far as I'm concerned, as I said, you are both Astra. It may not make much sense, but it is what my heart is telling me." "And I'm glad that it is, because my heart says that you are my sister," Gilda says, giving her a hug in which Hilda swiftly joins, saying that she feels the same way. This time, the Frost Giants are careful to be gentle. When they separate, Hilda says: "Now we need to find a way to get your cubs - er, children - back from that dragoness. That's not going to be easy. We do know that they're still alive, though. The dragoness told us so. I wonder what she wants with them." [68669]
