The rage that had begun to bubble up within her fiery blue gaze did not cease -- but she did not have to step up and protect the Kingdom of Seracia, though she was very much ready to do so if necessary. The call was heard by many -- she was surprised at Syrinx's arrival to watch the scene unfold. He whispered that he had faith in Gerhardt -- "I do too, my dear brother," she mumbled softly, leaning briefly into him as a sign of affection that she would never contain. Where had he been off to, had he been with Eos? But it was no time for such questions. Kamala joined the gathering quickly, looking rather distraught, as had Gideon. It was then she realized that this woman was not a mere stranger, but Adette.... Gerhardt's ex-wife. Maverick and Kamala's adoptive mother. Her jaws unhinged ever so slightly, her expression fading in its intensity until she merely looked bewildered, confused. Gerhardt was next to arrive. Adette spat insults at him, calling out his so-called infidelity, spitting and snarling like a mad woman; Epiphron considered her no less. She wanted to fight Gerhardt, to claim him -- and so the battle commenced. It was not a pretty fight. With interest, and worry alike, the Princess watched on, watching the two battle tooth and nail. Soon blood began to spill, tainting both of their coats, the awful stench filling the air and making the woman feel nauseous. The battle escalated rather quickly, before it happened -- Gerhardt got hold of Adette's throat, the terrible crunch signifying her death echoing through the battlefield. Death. It was something Epiphron had only experienced a handful of times, but never in this manner. She'd never seen a wolf take the life of another. But she would not blame Gerhardt for his choice. He had not killed her out of spite, but because he needed to protect his family. The Kingdom had been threatened. Not wanting to see anything else, the woman bowed her head, her eyes shutting briefly. She would breath, slow breaths, struggling to keep her limbs from quivering. Only glancing briefly at Gerhardt, she set out, searching for Maverick. - exit Epiphron - |
