Long ago, Anath may have been an enemy in this space. When she’d first entered the Inlet, there had been an unearthly ire that raged within her… she’d been taken from her home, and in the worst way. The politics of the day, of the time had been different. Though she’d challenged for her freedom, though she’d fought Rodion tooth and nail, there was a societal disadvantage that was cast upon her. She hadn’t been allowed to go free from it, and from him. There’s maybe a smirk playing on her face as she reminisces to herself. Anath, for one, was grateful for the lack of change. Though the Peak looked different, in some ways, the Inlet did not. And still, she thinks of Zavulon. Boss of the Lagoon, heir of the Inlet. It was hard to wear both hats, but her memory failed on which one he’d chosen in the end. They’d come and gone so many times, and treated each other as two ships passing in the night… they’d treated each other, even worse, as enemies. Would things, would tensions, between the Peak and the Lagoon ever shift? Maintaining a balance of power was so incredibly and immensely difficult, and politics will always give Anath a headache. There’s a reason that she’d hailed herself as the general. No such worrying needed. Someone calls to her-- a woman. Things had shifted to such a degree that women were allowed to hold their own homes now. She wondered briefly if this was the head of household. Anath’s call in return is short, curt. A spotted mare began to close the gap between them, and the weathered general’s head cocked to the side. There’s no malice here, but she’s studying the stranger openly. -- Is there something we can help you with? The question catches Anath off guard. “No.” Well, she’d never been one for manners. Still, it takes her memory a moment to catch up to her mouth. Why did you even come? The champagne mare doesn’t know. She’d spent so long here. It only seemed right to… to return. It was in the same way Anath returned to the Peak, but without the intent to remain. “I lived here long ago, I just wanted to see it again.” Right, a way of explaining. Anath wasn’t one for apologies, wasn’t one for small talk, wasn’t one for manners-- no social graces. Still, she’s not malicious. “Am I interrupting?” Well, she knew she was intruding. At least she would intrude without ill intent. Anath "HEROES GET REMEMBERED LEGENDS NEVER DIE " |
