I think we can end it here?
She was gone now, lost to her mourning despair. She had fully convinced herself that the five children were going to die and that nothing could save them. Skye's words were just noise that didn't make sense. The arctic woman dragged herself away from the barricaded door and tightly shut windows covered with cloth. The thinness of her legs and stark apparent of her ribs showed that the woman was not far from the eternal abyss herself, she was really in no condition to nurse five children, but she was blinded by her own culture and pure thick headed stubbornness. Custom dictated that if they were sick then they must either live or die according to Artoi's rule. Only luck would save the newest Denahlii children and their lost mother.
She returned herself to the children who struggled weakly, lowering herself amongst them, her world collapsing in upon herself. They whimpered but she had no comfort for them other than the heat her body produced. Her world was destroyed, gone into the darkness. She laid her head across them and closed her eyes, if she could die with them then maybe that wouldn't be so bad.
