ride to meet your fate

Lumine had tried to avoid her father as much as possible. After her fate had been revealed, and all else that had transpired, the resentment she felt toward him blackened her heart. Deep down, she still loved him and worried for him. Especially with his scent leading north where more and more animals were acting strange. If he died alone up there, she’d never forgive herself.

Trailing after the shadow with utmost care to not be noticed, Lumine waited until she too saw the herd of elk. This group was also behaving oddly for whaat was considered normal. The realization didn’t settle well in her. Neither did the youngster who approached her father with an almost lackadaisical air about him. Did he not know who he was approaching?

Lithe steps carried her forward, expertly placing herself between Vidarr and Oleander, shoulder leaning in to briefly grace her father’s. “Which is why we need to take one down,” she nods to the boy in white, a grim smile upon her charcoal lips before she glances to her father. “If we gain one more, we can set out,” Lumine says, hoping her father is at least sane enough to not torment the stranger.
