Ankyra Sound i have travel'd a long way, merely to look on you, to touch you

Private for @Spyridon and @Caiaphas. Feel free to powerplay the NPC, Abraxas!

When she and her party had broken free of the tangled wood and saw the wide blue of her Mother Sea, Minthe had nearly wept for joy. It was still far to the shore, but at least they could see it; there was renewed hope in their journey, and though all were weary, they pressed on with an inspired fervor. She knew enough from the directions of her High Priestess that she must journey toward the sprawling mountains, and so Minthe led them with a confidance she had not felt in weeks.

She would not allow them to rest until they were upon the sands of the Sound.

When they arrived, a half moon hung in the tapestry of night, and stars twinkled as light rain fell upon them from a sparse painting of clouds. Minthe desired nothing more than to race down from the cliffside to dance along the swollen tide; but this sacred place was claimed, and even Nereides obeyed the territorial instinct that ruled wolfkind.

Minthe turned to the consorts, and with a dark growl she told Abraxas, "Πηγαίνετε, για σας δεν είναι ευπρόσδεκτοι εδώ." It was only Spyridon that was the gift, and Abraxas had his own test to complete; if the Queen were to see him and Minthe did not offer him to her, it would be a grave insult.
