Moonspear five

Hydra listens to Isilme; her heart does not warm to hear the words spoken, but if one listened closely enough, one could deduce that the two hearts beat then as one. Hydra knew it would not make the girl feel any better for her to say, I hope you are able to; the woman is a fool, and such wolves often die early. Some, though, impossibly survive. Perhaps Isilme would be lucky enough to be the one to fell her, Dragomir along with her; she knew he desired it, too. 

In any case, Hydra pressed forward, pushing through a snow-drift and heading toward a rocky cliff-face. You and I will begin training once you work through this; some think emotions fuel a fight. Emotions will only exhaust you in them; skill is what causes one to win, in the end, came her first, albeit brief, lesson; her eyes turned to Isilme. I will be here; and I will not leave you behind, if it is any comfort, she expresses in earnest. Perhaps not, but she was trying; Hydra was terrible at it, but it was her best.
