Firefly Ravine When the cold wind is a'calling

It wasn't long after she left Cadeau that Maia announced her departure... her howl rang out from the borders of Rusalka, thanking @Illidan for letting her stay, but letting him know she had to go.  It was probably okay if he thought something urgent had come up.  She just wanted to go home now.

Let him stay there with his "partner" who was super nice and super interesting and who Maia couldn't even dislike because she was just... ugh.  Great?  Which blew bigtime because she didn't want to like her, but now they were kinda friends but also kind of not and it was just super awkward.  Why did boys have to ruin everything?

First Epic blew her off and now Illidan.  It was a dejected Maia who plodded her way towards the ravine, ready to make her way around it and back to the Firebirds forest.  It had been dumb to think that a prince might ever look twice at her; Cass had been right all along.  Girls like her didn't really get to be princesses.  They just had to play dragons instead.

What's wrong with that?  She thought to herself angrily, though she felt tears pricking at her eyes.  Dragons were super cool and super strong and didn't need a guy to protect them.  So neither did she.  She was going to be juuuuust fine.  Right after she had a nice little cry, that is.

tag for reference! this may turn into a RO depending on if anyone wants to hop on it <3
