Kintla Flatlands A Shadow Awakens

The warm months were ahead. While snow was constantly dumped upon the Wilds, Meldresi knew enough of the natural world to determine that this frozen wasteland would sure melt away. She was no groundhog however. It could be two weeks, three, a month away. But it was coming.

Intrigued by the prospect of the new plants rising from the frozen ground, Meldresi left Blackfeather and her children, certain that they would be safe within the darkness. The flatlands were no longer blanketed in snow, instead, there were periodic openings where grass and turf were revealed. It was in those patches that she looked for any sign of life.

She did find it, but not in a tiny bud in the ground. Instead, it was a full grown, black female, laying in the grass. Meldresi strode closer, but paused as the wind gently swept the loner's scent towards the queen. It was familiar, to say the least. She remembered the scent, from nearby her lands. Kove's was mingled with it, something that intrigued the priestess. Was she another lover of his? Was Kove not the gentleman she thought? Smirking slightly at the thought of a scandal, Meldresi approached the woman, chuffing softly to grab her attention.
