Kiss of an Empress

Admittedly, Zee had been moping when Seer called to her. Multiple wolves had seemingly vanished over the past few seasons - a complicated thing, especially when the Armada had rules in place preventing them from leaving willingly. Rather then believe they'd broken pack law, Zee was forced to assume foul play with each consecutive loss of wolf. The mosr recent of these disappearanced had been hee very own handmaiden, the wolf who had helped her through her insecurities and shown to Zee her hidden strength. She did not take the loss well. Was something nefarious lurking around their borders kidnapping Armada wolves? It seemed unlikely, for no matter how often her warlord sent out patrols there was never any sign.

Her small head lifted at the sound and she reached a paw up over her muzzle to wipe away the sadness. If Sirius needed her it was likely important, perhaps they'd found sign at last of a long-missing member. After all, Meadow had returned to them after seasons away. She got to her feet, squinting into the daylight as her head crossed out the den. He was easy enough to find, towering above the bridge he had made for their children and so dangerously close to the water he used to fear. He had grown so much since their litter was born, and Zee gave him a soft wistful smile as she approached.

"What is it, my love?" While she had wanted to ask for the hundredth time if her missing handmaiden had been found, she contained the question. It did no good to anyone and only upset seer further that he was unable to return Odette to her. Zee was beginning to wonder if she ran away, perhaps with Killian who vanished at the same time. She sighed, pushing past the thoughts and directing her attention towards him once more. He looked sad, and her smile melted into a frown, "What's happened?"
