Lone Star Mountain sankrasha

so long had the taiga and the sea dominated her thoughts that she almost fled to duskfire.
but in the utter cracking horror of druid's attack and the final flight, skaigona rejected entire the lands she had known. where would a stranger drag gideon?
she had finally let @Ezra run, and now slowed, legs shaking, as darkness swallowed a single mountain as mother and son climbed its lower slopes.
she would not let herself think of kikimora, oh, sweet child; skaigona kept her eyes dry with a pinch to the inside of her jawline.
