Dragoncrest Cliffs This place of loss

First to arrive was her sister Sobeille. Of no surprise to Shadess. All our elders be gone now... A murmur from her lips as she looks out over the blue meadow and the woman Yura sits down, trailing after her sister. Then, as she turns back to Sobeille, Did matant speak wid you, before? 

Now one by one the twins would come. That was all that would come. This was all that was left. 

Chacal spoke wid me, earlier dat night... Of a decision she and Mireille made for Sapphique's future. She made me Carnelian. A place of Roja at her side. Or at least, Shadess had expected that she would be at her side. To futher learn from her and grown into the position of leadership for which one day Chacal herself may retire. It was not meant to be. Shadess was not to replace Mireille at Chacal's side, she was made to stand alone in this. But she couldn't. 

Sobeille I want you wid me, as Carmine. Despite her wants, it was up to Sobeille to accepted. Shadess did not think she would object. Sobeille's desire to protect and serve Sapphique was well obvious. 

Lafayette will take my former place as Laramite. Their brother's placement in the ranks as one of trust would remain. He was the only adult male in the ranks currently and it was something Shadess was perfectly fine with remaining that way. Lafayette may be one of that last of men within Sapphique to hold weight of rank. Lucette, only just returned, would stay exactly where she was. She had yet to prove she would be sticking around this time.
