 Tell me, tell me I survived. I said nothing after Evren stormed off into the Inlet to collect the Forest mare she'd likely been after all along. Instead I stood stoically at the shoreline and waited for them. Despite how angry I was with the mare, I wouldn't leave her and an ally's captive to fend for themselves against the seas from Tinuvel back to Luthien. Instead I steamed solemnly over what had just happened, replaying her words and Warsaw's over and over again in my mind. Somehow I'd always get stuck with the same lasting image - Evren staring back at me, hard and cold, with an expression that seemed so childish, and so disrespectful, as if she didn't think I understood the depths of the monster we were up against. It made my stomach churn in knots. I held back behind the mares as they swam, everyone paddling in near silence, until the hazy mass of Luthien came into view. We rose from the surf, and Evren and Hannah were quick to find their family. I waited for several minutes, still standing in the damp sand at the surf, before calling out to Evren. She owed me an explanation, at least. "What were you thinking?" I blurted out, my eyes trained on hers, my expression still roiled in disbelief by her actions back on the Inlet's shore. My soaking wet tail slapped at my flanks as I shifted my weight anxiously. "We were supposed to be united. A team." I say, my expression hardening now as the feelings I harbored find an exit through my mouth. "You know, you put my family at risk with your actions. Did you once stop to think about that?" It was my son who lived in the Lagoon, a known ally of Warsaw's. It was my arrangement which bought temporary peace to my home, and hers, thanks to Jabari. "Do you even give one shit about Vita Nova? Or was that all just a ruse to get you there?" |
