Sleeping Dragon a prophecy

Exit Sere!

Death.

It should have affected her more, hearing this. It did not. Seregryn watched the heda with a blank expression for a few moments as she explained, accepting what she said but giving no rebuttal. Was she not exempt from that ruling, being a fos goufa? She was one of the chosen! Set to lead should Thuringwethil ever fall — and for the first time, Seregryn feels a wave of contempt for her idol. In this moment heda was siding with an outsider (at least in Seregryn's mind) and that meant she was unfit. A darkness passed over her features as her head drooped, and she turned away from the pair of adults - given the chance to depart, being dismissed like a child, only made Seregryn's passion stronger.

She pulled free of the conflict and began to stiffly march away from them, the fur of her back prickling, and she is unable to lift her head or move with pride. Aside from feeling personally wounded by the heda's decision, Seregryn feels the weight of her position and the importance of her future. She would fix Drageda, remedy it of its falsehoods. If a heda falls, she will be there to do her duty and overtake their position - and now Seregryn knows for certain that her aunt need not be the one to die.
