Enocra Woodland

Pine, spruce and firs alike...
Dense coniferous forests cover the woodlands, with clearings, paths and the occasional wildberry shrub throughout. Pine, spruce and fir make up much of the forest in the east, with the forest becoming swampier in the west towards Mecor Valley. In the west, cypress trees dominate, with fallen trees creating bridges across and throughout the stillwaters.

It is unexpected, her reaction, and i recoil for only a moment when she spins upon me with a fierce snarl that looks so startling like that of Carnifex. So much so that I had a flashback of him as he stalks towards me in the grotto after having saved me from that group, only to then speak of ending me, of satisfying himself and my own desperate attempt to bargain myself out of death. It is no wonder death and destruction follow me when I have thwarted it many times over. My cunning is all that has kept me alive even if others abuse me for it. Even if they scowl at my name but I think I have been forgotten. That was the purpose of abandoning my old life but truth be told, I seethed at the thought. That after EVERYTHING I had achieved, I was once more a notch in history, forgotten and expendable. I couldn’t verify the veracity of that statement because it would mean risking myself and Lucia - Exodus would protect us but if he died, I think I might truly die too.

She berates me even as I press forward, shaking away the memory of her father and my past, breathing in her sweet scent with desperation. She is alive.... so much has kept us apart. I had fretted in a manner I am unused to. When she steps back I sense the distance between us, invisible but there, and my eyes grow curious at her words. Exodus never told me what? It makes me almost bristle that he would keep a secret from me but I wait to hear more because he never did anything to hurt me... right?

When I was away... a pause, and I scowl. “Yes?” My words are forceful, demanding as a mother she tell me the truth. Only I don’t expect what she says. I SHOULD. I think I know what she talks of but then again I’m not sure. I had whored myself for security as I grew because I am not a fighter. I had killed to ensure power and to ensure freedom of myself. Carnifex had killed because it was in his nature. I wasn’t sure exactly what she was talking of so I take a hesitant step forward. “Myrria,” I say in a soft and coaxing voice so she might look at me. “We’ve all done what we had to in order to survive. If you knew even a fraction of the things I have done...” I don’t sigh. I don’t retreat. I stare at her with prideful, glistening eyes. “I’m not sorry for them. Not anymore. They were necessary and sometimes they change you. Tell me, darling, what you did. I promise you, I’ll never forsake you.” It made my heart sing because I realize that Exodus had not told me so he did not come between us. And that my daughter, my fighter, trusted me enough to tell me even after having hid from me in her own way.
