Motherhood and queenhood were much of the same. It took patience, time, and skill to be able to run a kingdom, as well as raise children. The Keeper finds that she is good at both (one she had trained her whole life for, the other had been thrust upon her), and while she tries her best to watch the children, she is keen to let them explore on their own. She found in her own childhood, a sense of independence helped her to grow. But, instead of dismissing her children once they exited the womb (as her own parents had done to her), she nurtured and advised them.
Each looks like her in the brown of their skin. Karat sported her father's lavender, but Krone never really cared (so many of the same hues wandered Ischia, the twins' conception was an afterthought). Kromium, a replica of her. Each had their own unique personalities, and as they grew, she saw that they were similar to her in more than just looks. Krom sported her adventurous, kind side, while Karat seemed to hold her mother's diplomatic, mature side. She loves them the same, but for different reasons.
Her duties cause her to lose a good amount of sleep. If it isn't something with the children, it is something happening within the kingdom (most notably, the monsoon that threatened to wash away her home altogether). Krone finds herself perpetually tired, and today as the sun crests over the horizon, she is still sound asleep. So sound, that she doesn't hear her children wander away to play (something she isn't opposed to, as long as she knows where they are going).
She wakes when she finds the two warm bodies of her children are not beneath her protective wings. Eyes shoot open as her heart races, two hazel hues searching the earth around her.
"Kromium? Karat?" She calls, voice audibly shaken. Klaudius has got them... The first place her mind wanders. The island was only so big, after-all, and now he had taken her jewels. Emerald legs find their way through the forest, mind focused on finding them.
Krone finally spots them in a nearby spring, playing together. She sighs with relief, nickering to them. "There you two are," She walks up, dipping her head into the spring to splash the pair with water. She lets out a gentle chuckle. "You frightened me! At least tell me where you're going next time, hmm?"
