Cordelia

Loving the drama! p.s. not trying to copy @Vespera. Both our girls are just getting triggered. Lol
(Sorry for the late pop in. Also, write this before realizing there was a second page. I think it still works so I'll keep it.)

The beginning of this meeting was something Cordelia was used to. The introduction of council members, news about unions, new beginnings, and promotions. She nodded along and took note of individuals names as a majority of members were new to her. She nodded to Awenfen as she sat beside her and made note of the gentleman that situated himself beside her. As she suspected the words Hime and Reiko spoke separated them from one another. It was also clear to Cordelia that there was something else being said with the addition or omission of certain words. Something she had been taught from youth. The objection from the audience was out of the ordinary though.

The objector voiced his views strongly against the emperor and Awenfen's outburst beside her made Cordelia's heart race. She had not expected it and something about it was eerily familiar. A bit of panic swelled inside of her unaware of where other's feelings were originating from. All the words seemed to mix together as they spoke so quickly after one another. and then... a fight broke out. Causing everyone to stir.

A mass of wolves all looking towards the front of the assembly at the royals. Her parents and newly crowned brother. A commotion from the audiences prompts the guards to deploy. The king and queen are dived on by a group of assailants, causing them to crash to the ground. Cordelia and her siblings are ushered away...

her siblings are ushered away... Why am I still here?
They're supposed to usher me away to safety. Why am I still here?
Julian and Adelaide where are they?

Her breathing is rushed and she scans the mass of wolves, her mind in a haze. Her eyes latch onto @Vespera as the panicked individual in the crowd. She hustled over to her.

Her siblings they're just sitting there.
They have to go, we have to go.
"Hi babes. It's OK. I'm here, but we must go. Come. Come, we must."

Her words were calm but also urgent. The way you would speak to a child in a dangerous situation. She beckoned for Vespera to follow, though she couldn't be sure if the female had chosen to follow her. In her state of mind, Cordelia and her siblings were running away and into the foliage, and towards the den she originated from she went, hurriedly. - Exit
