Sleeping Dragon the end of a bloodline

The answer to Tanja’s question may be tricky as she thinks back to the beginning of their days. There has been a few, but those that have remained faithful and loyal? She would rather sooner forget about them for they mean nothing. However, if any of them were to return, Tanja would need to know they are to be met with nothing short of teeth. “A few have been here but some did not stay. Their loyalty had been tested. Rebekka kom Triku is here too” she explains. She briefly tells him of Eli and Snacha and Semet, all whom had been here before turning their back on Heda.

His disbelief is apparent across his face whereas those in Trigeda have been silent about their objection, despite Gavriel rejecting Wildfire, but she stiffens and squares her shoulders easily. Even if he has been a long time companion of hers, his place need not be reminded even in a land foreign to him.

She lifts one brow, testing, as she gives him another moment to let everything sink so that he may recompose himself.
