GLORY AND GORE

She was quiet. this land was so different and immense and she had to admit that it was so incredibly hard to understand what she needed to do. But, she had risen to the occasion and she was going to be strong for her family no matter what became of it. A long yawn rumbled free from her lips and she nuzzled her head into Valerius's shoulder. She was tired and questioning of their purpose, but she was not yet willing to think it was all in vain. Valerius gave her hope and for that she was thankful. Eyes happily turned towards Vaziel as his scent washed over her and she moved from Valerius to the side of her younger brother and happily pushed her weight against the side of him, "We'll....you're the badass in the family. I just kinda walk around struttin' my stuff," she knew his jokes were made in a slightly more bitter manner of jest, but she wasn't going to allow him to be so sad. "Momma told us stories about dad being a great leader. You've got to believe he might have been good, right? I'm sure he will adore us. Especially you happy pants mcgee," she turned from him and stared around, "Maybe we should rest for awhile. We've traveled non-stop for the past few days," Vriel knew the excitement in her bones was unparalleled, but she couldn't deny that the thought of a nap was the most satisfying thing to cross her mind in quite some time.
