Dragoncrest Cliffs the flame will protect

Eske waits with baited breath as she watches Heda consider it. She knows she is young, and perhaps she still has a lot to prove but she is confident that she can rise to the challenge, that she can shoulder the responsibilities that she knows belong to the Cheka rank. Her confidence in her own abilities however are muted compared to Heda’s as it is the Commander’s that truly matter. If Thuringwethil does not think her capable she will refuse. Eske harbors a small hope that she was not immediately shot down. She is nervous, she realizes. She has never been as close to the Commander as Freyja and she wonders if that will reflect poorly on her now. Then again, Freyja was a traitor while Eske is the only of Gyda’s children to remain true and firm. She knows where her loyalties lie. She will always be Drakru, she will always faithfully and loyally follow her Heda. “I understand Heda,” She gives a nod of her head. “If you feel I am worthy I would be honored to be your Cheka.” It is what Eske wants but again she knows it all boils down to Thuringwethil.
