Ankyra Sound lie in wait, hush little heart

Another quiet snicker had escaped from Nesaea's throat as her sister reacted to the unexpected brush of a fish. She was curious about the wildlife of not only Ankyra Sound, but the surrounding areas as well. The lands of Themiscrya, although sprawling and relatively diverse, were mostly confined to the stretch of beach found there and was where the sisters — especially the younger sirens who were still learning the Nereides culture — spent most of their time. Nesaea had been fascinated by the ever-changing landscape as they travelled to the Sound, and wanted to explore it further, despite the fact that her heart still remained with the sea.

The talk of war caused the silver girl's ears to swivel backwards warily. They had to find out more about this impending conflict — just how large were the other packs? Were they truly unaware of Caiaphas' intentions? Her thoughts swirled as she followed her sister's gaze out over the ocean. The developments were troubling, but Leucothoe's stance towards it calmed her. It would be an opportunity to prove themselves and their worth to the Queen. What they could do, however, would need to be discussed. Nesaea nodded in response to her sister. They would ask.

"We need the Mothers' blessing," she mused quietly, looking once up to the sky. While she was determined to win over the leader of the Sound, she was even more concerned with their true Matriarchs — the Sea and Moon.
