Sunspire Mountains You know we could put them all to shame

This can wait til whenever, I know we have one, I just had muse! <3 Set just outside Sunbeam Lair

Numbed by her grief, Reverie had made a decision.

In The Gilded Sea, they had always followed the trail set by their herald; their pathfinder. Leader, guardian, trailblazer. That role had belonged to her father once. Of all the Medeiros siblings, only Atlas and Tybault had been meant to step into his place. Trained for it. Some part of her had assumed that Everett would take up the mantle now, in Tybault's absence.

The more she thought about it, the less sense it made. Was she not their leader? Their guide? Was this role not her right?

She'd departed the Emberwood with a soft word to her brother, a howl to inform the rest. On the way she'd found @Dusty Rose, inviting him wordlessly to pursue her into the wilds. To catch her, if he could.

Reverie cut a swift path from the valley, a wildfire blazing into the mountains beyond. The rain fell endlessly. Her hackles bristled all along her spine as she came to the mouth of the cave, shoulders tensing in recognition. For a moment she was frozen in place, simply staring into the dim expanse.

The scent of blood filled the air.
