Spelled things out a little more here, I think.  I know the start of this little arc was confusing, but it was kinda supposed to be I guess.

She denied me, but she offered me an alternative path through nature. When your father was on his own journey, I saw him rescue the owl through the veil, and I willingly melded my spirit with hers. I exist both in Ardenweald and in Kacheya, and it has been a blessing that I have been able to guide you through your own journey.”\n\n\tLyrah smiled wide as she drew back, though it faded the longer she looked at her mother. “So… I saw Magatha -grandma- when I first came here. Did she actually bring me here? I don’t understand exactly why I had to do this now. Dad’s worried sick about me.”\n\n\tKinah placed a comforting hand on her daughter’s back. “The spirits do not call upon those of the shamanic arts when it is most convenient, Lyrah. Like Magatha said, your pilgrimage here has been long overdue, and there is wisdom that the spirits have that they -we- felt needed sharing.”\n\n\tLyrah scrunched her brow in thought. “I… see.”\n\n\t”What have you learned then, dear?” Kinah asked curiously.\n\n\tLyrah looked down at her staff. “Well… Jevak showed me that the name ‘Grimtotem’ doesn’t have to mean ‘cruel and violent’. I kinda knew that because of you, Mom, but it was comforting to see that others have seen that as well.”\n\n\t”Good. What else?”\n\n\tThe shaman tapped her chin. “Grandma and grandpa told me a lot. I have a lot to talk to Dad about when I get back, but also… I can see why they wanted me to know what they told me. They just don’t want me to repeat their mistakes. I wanna be a good mom, too, which is kinda why I haven’t been so focused on my shamanism in a while.”\n\n\t”Is it?” Kinah pressed.\n\n\tLyrah shrank just a bit. “Well… Dad and I have been traveling for a long time. I guess I… got kinda wrapped up in him, too.”\n\n\t”Love is a complicated thing,” Kinah added. “It can be comforting. It can be distracting. It can be damaging. The spirits have their own thoughts and feelings. They may encourage you one way or the other. They may tell you lies, but they have little incentive to do so. The spirits of those who love you, generally want what’s best for you.”\n\n\t”That can also be bad too, like what happened with Dad and his mom,” Lyrah returned. “She wanted what [i]she[/i] thought was best.”\n\n\t”She did,” Kinah agreed.\n\n\tLyrah looked at the staff in her hand, then clutched it more firmly. “This whole thing… I understand why I needed to come here.”\n\n\t”Then you see why we must continue-“\n\n\t“No, Mom,” Lyrah cut her off gently. “I don’t know what all the spirits think they have planned for me, but I’ve heard enough.”\n\n\tKinah went wide-eyed. “Lyrah, if you stop now-“\n\n\t”I can’t stay here any longer!” Lyrah cried suddenly and backpedaled away from her mother. “This whole pilgrimage, this spirit world… hell this fucking [i]staff[/i] isn’t [i]me[/i]! I didn’t [i]choose[/i] to come here! I was dragged here without my consent, right on the cusp of having a baby! You say the spirits said I needed to come here? Well what about what [i]I[/i] say and [i]my[/i] path!?” With her other hand, Lyrah grabbed the end of the staff, and with a growl she pulled as hard as she could on it. The spirit wood cracked, but when she pulled the spiked top off, seven steel links of a chain were revealed inside and pulled taut by the shaman. The spiked bull morphed once more, this time becoming a coil of carved, spiked flames, but the tauren hands remained, clinging to the chain links. Just beneath them, another carving appeared in the staff; a carving of a muscular tauren holding his left arm aloft, propping up the tangle of other arms. Lyrah gazed at the carving and smiled, then grasped the length of wood and snapped it over her knee, breaking much of the uncarved wood off, while leaving what remained of its smooth haft as a grip, fully turning it into a flail. “[i]THIS[/i] is me and my path, damn what anyone else thinks, spirit or otherwise.” The intensity in her eyes faltered as she looked back at Kinah, though the spirit continued to smile at her. “I’m… I’m thankful that the spirits have approved of my actions thus far, but that only proves that I need to leave as soon as possible. Dad can handle himself, but with the difference in time, I [i]can’t[/i] be unconscious when I have a baby to deliver.”\n\n\tKinah smiled even wider, but she dared not step toward Lyrah. “Well done, my daughter. You have become everything I ever could have hoped for, and more. You will always be your own person… but I ask that you not judge me for remaining nearby in the form of Kacheya.”\n\n\t”Of course not,” Lyrah added and rushed over to hug her again. “Dad still needs you, too, even if he doesn’t realize it.”\n\n\tKinah closed her eyes and squeezed Lyrah tight. “I will always love you two. You have one more trial to conquer, but that awaits you in the waking world. I think you need to wake up, dear.”\n\n\tLyrah looked up at her mother and smiled sheepishly. “Oh, yeah, about that, um… [i]how[/i]?”\n\n\tKinah let her go, then slowly took a cross-legged seat on the ground. “Come, sit. Close your eyes, and think about your father. Meditate. Focus. You will awaken when you find that path back to your body.”\n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "<162>
