PERSEPHONE

Persephone listened to Evaline with interest, storing away each small piece of information she could glean for future reference. Salem was the only island that Persephone had yet to visit, and the next she planned to do so once winter had passed and the seas were not so harsh and frigid to travel across.

“The Dunes,” she replied curiously, i>“Who rules there? Do they treat you well?”

Persephone hoped that she might be able to better prepare herself for her visit if she at least new the leader’s name and their general disposition, but she was not expecting the next bit of information which Evaline revealed. When the name dropped from Evaline’s lips, Persephone snorted in surprise, glancing back at her in curiosity.

“My allies have warned me of him already,” she responded. “But I thank you for bringing him to my attention anyway. Did you know him? He sounds like a dangerous man…” she paused, trailing off for a moment.

Her lips formed a worried scowl as she glanced ahead to where Talya frolicked. Trouble with this infamous Asp no longer spelled just trouble for herself, but for the rest of the companions she had gathered here and sworn to protect. With a small sigh she turned her eyes back to Evaline as they neared the border of the Forest.

“I hope never to meet him, but I intend to be prepared should I ever have to.”
