Nimbus Summit you preyed on my innocence, tried to bury my name

The man that appeared from the mountains seemed perfectly suited to it, and Themis dipped her head in a greeting of leader to leader, keeping her stance as straight as she could manage when her leg wanted nothing more than to give out beneath her. She really shouldn’t have pushed it.

Hello. Her voice cracked and she cleared her throat, took a deep breath, and started again.

Hello. I’m Themis, reigning Vasiliás of Oi Kryfoí, we claim the Shadewood. I came to extend my thanks, a few weeks ago your members helped a packmate of mine when he was attacked on the plateau. I’m sorry I did not come sooner, but my children were not old enough for me to leave them for long stretches. Another deep breath, trying to press the anxiety in her stomach to a manageable level.
