Emberflame Ridge Shake off the frost inside my soul

For @Soltero - ehh, time-line wise? Probably somewhere after sending Dante off, before Dawn's arrival, after the thread with Bridget? Yeah sure just wedge it in there

After regaining her strength and looking somewhat presentable again, the queen fae made her way 'top the ridge that looked 'ver the plains. Here she sat, looking out into the wilderness she knew so well - hoping to see the figure of a tiny, hurrying man returning home after carrying out his duty for his queen. Every now and again, her head would whip around and look towards the mountains - perhaps to see a descending figure of a beautiful lavender woman making her way back from the Empire. Seconds were ticking by, hours felt like days - the sweet summer wind granted her no joy, just more worry.

She sighed a sigh as if she was carrying the mountains on her back - then a single monarch butterfly showed its colors and landed on a blade of grass near her feet. Was this the comfort Fate granted her?
