Give Me a Juggernaut Heart

The smell of sickness had deafened her senses to all but what was presented to her directly: Her land, too, was under attack. Her time in Olympus had been brief by most standards, but apparently not brief enough. As the queen had traveled, however, she had come to realize with horrifying certainty that this incident was not at all isolated. A fire, hot and brutal, had lit behind the woman's eyes and she came upon the gathering with all the might and rage of a woman scorned. How dare the gods think to attack her packmates, he family? For a time Raisa thought sweetly of her death, and how she would one day face them down and take from them what was due, particularly the suffering they had brought upon her beloved ones. Koros had taken up her side not long after she crossed the border once more, and in his wisdom, he had not yet spoken to her. He knew his queen well enough to understand that her rage was a fearsome thing to behold. She came upon the gathering with all the force and ferocity of a supercell thunder cloud, her bi-colored gaze flashing. "I want all the details, now." Her tone brokered no argument. Perhaps it was too harsh for an alpha that many could claim to be overly absent, whimsical, distant. But any who voiced that now would be met snapping jaws, flashing claws, and bloodshed. It would be folly instead to show rebellion while her heir and friend lay invalid. The Queen's gaze locked in particular on Katja, a warrior who held her highest respect, though her stride did not falter. "What has taken place in my absence?" The queen burned a path to Valeriya, small and russet and full of life. She reeked of sickness, and blood had begun to fall from her eyes. Just like Hephaestus, just like Andromeda. The queen looked to Isidora, who had been taken by a fit... It was here as well. Raisa clenched her teeth tightly together, feeling a pang of distress constrict her heart, and turn her stomach. Her other children, Sig and Svet, were present as well. "Children, get back," she said, softening her voice as much as she was able. She would not be harsh with them, not when she had already given them reason enough to despise her. "I could not bear to see you take ill as well." And it was the truth. Raisa turned her gaze finally to Adelaide and Callisto. They smelled of herbs, and seemed to bear an aura of something close to confidence, if not that emotion itself. She did not speak, only waited as their queen, for the answers she demanded to be set before her.
