Nova Peak what’s yours is mine.

There was danger here.  Wealda was immensely aware of this as she crossed the boundary into the Spine.  Yet the message that had come was clear once she’d understood the communication delivered; there were children here too.  Her sister’s future, a future that was not the Rise’s, but felt her own all the same.  She would not allow nature to take them.

And yet, when she arrived, it was not nature that threatened.  Strangers had come instead.

Wealda bristled at this, torn.  Riley defended his own, but this land was not hers.  She too intruded, and she too threatened him in this way.  Were this the Rise she would not hesitate.

A low growl left her as she hovered, torn.  Riley was outnumbered.  If the strangers attacked, then she would have no choice but to enter the fight as well.  Some instinct held her in place right now.
