Live through this lie







Was I left behind?
Tell me, tell me I survived.




We waited patiently just inside Persephone's territory. Woodland creatures chirped away from the canopy of the trees. Sun streamed past the leaves to mark the Earth's flood in mismatched patches. Despite the unrest among territory leaders in the islands, the Forest seemed calm, peaceful. I took a deep breath and tried to breathe some of its power in with me.

Two copper-colored ear lobes flicked forward and at attention when the frame of the roan mare comes into view. My head jutted a little higher above my withers when I see Evren's familiar painted frame coming up behind her. I swallowed hard once, and give Ruger a side glance. A short-lived smirk crept over my whiskered lips when Persephone greeted us kindly, and I bobbed my heavy head in return. "It's good to see you too, and in such good health and spirits, given the circumstances." I said evenly, with the flick of red tail over my rump.

"I'm sorry to hear of your troubles." I added, my gaze bouncing between Evren and Persephone. "But alas, the Prairie hasn't been spared from it, either."

There was much to discuss, but where to begin? I breathed another heavy sigh and shift my weight evenly across all fours. "It appears Warsaw is gathering allies. Rougaru and Cullen have become... equally bothersome." I said, my features hardening some. "Do you know Liland of the Desert? I recently forged an alliance with the Fjord stallion, whom Warsaw expelled from the Bay. He's a kind leader interested in finding peace."

My eyes narrowed slightly as I gauge Persephone's reaction to this. What I had to tell them next was more complicated to explain.

"I thought you should also know that my son, Jabari, will be headed to the Lagoon soon." It pained me to say this. I tried so hard to keep him from that kind of life. But circumstances lately had lead me to see no other choice. "He is in need... of something I can't give him." My gaze flicked back to Ruger momentarily. "And with this arrangement, I hope to strike some sort of temporary deal between Luthien and the Lagoon."

In an effort to clear the air, I attempted to move the conversation to Warsaw as quickly as I could. "During your time in the Inlet. Did you see Vita Nova?" I asked eagerly. "I also plan to pay her a visit soon. Evren - I extend the offer to come with, if you are still interested."
