Nimbus Summit Kaujik

heda was now further from rivenwood than she had ever been in her life. 
they had moved through what felt like dozens of territories. at first her legs had ached but with the constant walking, heda had begun to hone into her the drageda-blood she still did not know was her own.
and so it was a taller, leaner girl with the splash of red along her back that came to the summit called nimbus.
ensio took the land's measure. antha spoke to wayfarer. heda was still not sure how she felt about the pretty woman who had joined them. veteran went off at once to explore.
the former rivenwood child hung back with ensio this time, smiling as he lifted his head from the ground. "what do you smell?" she asked him, chuffing lightly.
