Eris Pyre Eris listened to him carefully, unable to restrain herself when he said that he hadn't left of his own accord. Ah, the universe did have a way of balancing itself. She met him tonight because she needed to meet him. Perhaps, by sharing their similar stories, they might find comfort. It was a difficult thing to go through alone, but knowing someone else was familiar with your particular brand of suffering was its own special balm, stronger than most medicines. "I didn't leave on my own either," she blurted, laughing softly. "How strange! I was also following someone, my family, and it turns out it wasn't so wise for them to leave me behind either..." Eris trailed off, since her siblings were still fighting regain their memories. It didn't seem like a fair sentence, but it was true. They'd gotten into a world of trouble by the time she found them. All told, Eris was just greatful they had been reunited. "Where's your friend now?" She asked, brow furrowed. When he asked about the Sword Tree, Eris smiled dreamily. It was one of the few things she could recall with perfect clarity. "The Sword Tree was where the warriors of my people fought to prove themselves. To better yourself was to overcome the wolf who currently guarded the 'stone' you are angling for. A warrior of the first stone is a skilled novice, but you can only rise up from there," Eris explained, hoping that her words made sense. Although it had taken some time, she was realizing that she had to account for the customs of others. What was second nature to her might sound strange and unclear to someone from these lands. It was her hope to spread the message of the Adem - with more warriors in their ranks, they could bring glory to their people and encourage more to take the Oath of the Star. "I hope that made sense," she said nervously, shuffling her paws. Depending on Sota's roots, he might not agree with the Ademre warrior culture. Fighting was noble in its own way - and something she sorely missed - but not all wolves viewed it as such. |
