"Love, not control, you moron." Baba Yaga's eyes turned into steel. "I did the best that I could with the Horsemen, teaching my children everything they needed in order to become good people. I have no regrets and that's the only important thing.
"What they made with their life is their fault, not mine. If you have to remember anything of that I told you today, remember this. The role of a parent is to teach their kid how to walk, not to choose their path.
"When you have a child, you don't have the right to force them to move forward, only to be there for them and help them get up when they fall."
Lith was stunned by her words, wondering if he might be capable of becoming as wise as the Red Mother was.
'I can't blame Baba Yaga for the Horsemen more than I can blame Mom for Trion and Orpal being assholes. She gave them everything she had, yet all they did in return was to keep asking for more.' He thought.
