Duskfire Glacier [j] The king is dead but the queen is alive

Unless you wish I am totally fine if this doesn't make 10 posts ^^ up to you! Manauia is difficult since she isn't a very chatty creature haha

She ignored any doubt she might have heard in his tone, his opinion mattering little to the huntress. She knew that this was her best course of action for the moment, at least until a more clear route presented itself. She had let the trail run cold once more when she backtracked to find her companions and now had to deal with the consequences of that mistake. The most pressing one being her need to submit to this unknown male, laying her pride in her culture aside for the moment. It was harder than one might think.

She knew what was expected when he introduced himself, and she returned matter-of-factly. "I am called Manauia." She was tempted of habit to go into her titles, but did not. They meant nothing here and would only bring questions that she did not wish to answer. He was wrong about one thing, however, in his introduction. This place would never be her home.
