Redsand Canyon She, queen of the kings

The yearling didn't notice Sabah's awkward landing, keeping her stance until Sabah declared her success with this practice.
It was then that Sovereign loosened enough to take a more neutral stance, waving her tail a few times as the Holcan voiced her pride in Sovereign.
The girl smiled at this, the child inside of her giddy from praise.
Sovereign gently tucked her child-self back under the covers of a scarred and beaten heart, hoping Sabah did not see it.

"I think I could have done better..." She offered, humble.
As much as Sovereign visibly appreciated her efforts being seen, she wanted to be as skilled as her mother had been.
Better, even!

This goal of hers had never faded, even after all she had been through so far.
