After the last concluding words were sputtered, the yearling took a second to re-fill her lungs with air. She had never tried to tell a tale of her own, she had always been an ambitious individual, since she was a child, but she had never thought she would be telling such glorious stories of herself and her pack at the young age of one. She had been lucky to have earned the Queen's trust, but most of all she had been a lucky girl to have been craddled by loss and calamity since her origins.
Though the fall of the empire she spoke of so fondly had really managed to shatter her heart she had bounced out of the pain relatively quickly. Those were the moments she was grateful for her tormentous childhood; with the sisters from hell, the dead mother and the dying single dad. All of it had made her what she was now. Those battles, and the battles she had fought on this very land would forever be a piece of her. Just like Jinx, and like the Spine.

She didn't like being away very long. "I'm Cara, by the way" she added at last, before spinning around and sliding out the tunnels of the old Palace.
