Summary
"Clerics, paladins, priests of Selûne, we can all live and love as we wish to, and marriage isn't disallowed in the least. Even for Aylin, which her mother had told her quite plainly," Isobel giggled.
She remembered very well the near instantaneous response when Aylin had bowed her head in prayer and asked as much. Bright, warm, ethereal. As though Selûne had been elated at the thought. Now, though, with all that had changed, everything Aylin had suffered, and considering the vile magic that an oathbreaker had used to selfishly bring Isobel back to life, would the Lady of Silver still feel similarly? Doubtful. Isobel put on a smile that she knew was a little too tense, a little too false, and hurried to finish her tale.
"We'd uh... we'd considered the idea, back then. Never had a chance to see it through."
From Wyrm's Crossing to Baldur's Gate, Isobel and Aylin navigate both changes and familiar territory.

Summary
There is a part of Aylin still in that cage. There is a part of you still in that grave.
From that night of your coming-of-age ritual when you astounded all of Reithwin with the uncanny speed of your return from the woods, to your desperate flight away from your own grave, one thing has remained true. The guidance was granted, no matter the harshness or difficulty of the path. But it has always, always been up to you to walk it.
The brilliant, defiant Beacon of Last Light many revere from afar. Isobel Thorm they do not know at all.

Summary
It is easy, natural, to intone the words, even as the recitation feels slightly more formal than Aylin is used to. The conspicuous absence surrounding her and blanketing her heart does nothing to deter her.
Aylin's prayers in the Shadowfell, a mother who cannot hear her, and an aunt who can.
And Isobel, darling Isobel, after.
