Duskfire Glacier this skin is tainted by wasted days

Reek approaches and the closer he comes, the more defeated he looks. She burrows her brows in confusion but quickly erases it from her features to give him a chance to explain. She doesn’t even have to wait long for an explanation and she feels herself tense up once more. Thuringwethil knows little of the Phoenix. Reek is the only leader she’s dealt with in the entire process, setting their boundaries, that getting a history lesson hadn’t crossed her mind. 

Her features become void from her face and she searches his to try and predict the next step. 

“A challenge?” she asks then, the only sign of an emotion is the slight tilt of her head. Seageda's own ways do not extend much further south until recently when Drageda had formed. Challenges for leadership had been rare and took way more than a physical force to remove a commander. This is not her concern for the moment, instead the agreement with Phoenix Maplewood isn’t going to shy away because they’ve lost a leader. She makes note to address this when she gets home. Extra patrols on that end of their mountain, frequent visits to the river, until Thuringwethil knows the extent of the new reign below her.
