Ravensblood Forest Death and all her friends

Something is wrong. 

Lia feels this within the core of her being as surely as she knows who she is. She is a Raurc, legitimate or bastard, and Raurcs are not weak. 

She will not hide here in the dark sanctuary of her raven's forest. The call comes and Lia answers with the sure steps of someone who is not afraid of death. 

Ceannasach and Banríon are on the fringes of the territory when she arrives. The doyenne is the first to materialize from the darkened wood in support. She feels a stab of anger that Dakarai has wrought this even as she has promised her support to all of Teaghlaigh; including the foolish man and his wife. 

The dark woman is conjured of vindiction and madness; the wolves behind her reminiscent of demons. One would be stupid not to fear them. 

Fear them as she may, the colleen stares rage in the face as dignified as any member of the Family. Lia stations herself at Lotte's side, slightly behind Teaghlaigh's Banríon. 

Lia watches Vengeance on their threshold and waits; a silent affirmation of allegiance and defense, should it be needed.
