I have a kinda Doylist reason why I think the Mother will end up losing her shard. Counting the one Wendis used, we got 7 small shards out of the unnamed nature goddess's big shard. A number that supposedly has no special meaning but keeps showing up. Sierra's hinted that we'll find enough small shards for the entire harem, and after handing out all the ones we currently have (and talking to everyone who refuses), there are 14 ladies remaining in that projection. In Tertia, Ivala, Mithyn and Zelica we know of 4 major shards Simon wouldn't really want to separate from their owners. We've used another 1, meaning we need exactly 2 more big shard's worth to make the entire current harem immortal (not counting those who don't show up on the screen). We know 1 was already broken in this age, Riala found one piece of it, and breaking the Mother's would cleanly get us there. Now, this is Sierra, I expect multiple twists on that, so something like Zelica being too far gone to save and the Mother learning to not be a bitch isn't impossible, but the way the story currently looks she seems like the most likely to lose out.
