Dragoncrest Cliffs i wanted to be your anchor

The news that Heda brings is troubling as is the words shared by Blixen. The girl appears to be put out that Heda would not allow her to stay in the Caldera but Eske thinks it was a good call even if the girl does not agree. There was a chance that Blixen’s presence might hinder Wildfire’s recovery but Eske keeps her opinion to herself. Eske does not know anything of the Caldera wolves but assumes because it is Wildfire’s family that she will be safe and in relatively good hands but she cannot say it with conviction. Eske knows firsthanded that family isn’t always the best and as if on cue her thoughts flicker to her traitorous siblings. Once siblings was more like it. She has disowned them a long time ago but that does not mean she has forgotten. She will never forget their betrayals. Eske’s expression mirrors the trouble she feels and she wants to offer comfort but the words stick in her throat. “What are we going to do about it? Are we going to go after the wolves that have done this to her? That allowed this to happen to her?” Eske asks Heda, fixating the Commander in a gaze. Surely, this was an act of war in and of itself.
