Haunted Wood Blood and destruction shall be in use, and dreadful objects so familiar

dated after mal thread! attn @Hela

 

She and @Alya had arrived to their allies borders swiftly. Their investigation of the territories leading to had been mostly in passing, but between the two of them there was nothing of note that delayed their journey any. Hydra had heard from her brother of the new Warlord... and the nature of her becoming one. Hydra's mourning of Vengeance was none too brief; unsavory though he was to most, Hydra had come to appreciate him. Perhaps even like him as a friend might. They had similar views and ideals, a partnership. 

That Hela led changed much. Not the alliance itself, but the balance of it certainly. The girl might be an adept killer, which Hydra respected greatly independently, but she had deigned to kill her own leader. To what end? Was it simply ambition, or was there more to Vengeance Hydra simply had been unaware of? As to that, she would come to find out and see the merit of the girl for herself. Through the lens of others, or through Hela. 

The latter would be able to prove what sort of woman she was this auspicious day. Alya hung back as she had at Neverwinter Forest, and Hydra crooned a summoning note for any Nightwalker, though namely Hela herself. For her own part, Hydra had plenty of decorum given where she stood. This was not her own territory and she did not behave as such. Rather, she was far more relaxed in her demeanor, and though her regal, queenly nature could not be stripped from her person she did not stand there in such a way that would challenge the authority of any here.
