yet my blood renders me a King
After Sah's recent conversations with Deimos, Noah, and Hotaru, he was feeling melancholy. This war hadn't even begun, and it was already taking from him, already killing parts of him. Sah knew from experience that you never came out of a war unscathed, but this was the first time that he'd felt the damage beforehand to such a degree.
The stress and circling thoughts were what had driven the Abandoned to the Greatwood. He loved the wildness of this region and figured wandering it might be a soothing means of getting his thoughts in order. The darkness of Ludo's forest had called to him in particular and following his gut, Sah now found himself meandering through the shadowed woods. Lilly walked beside him; the wolf's nose turned to the wind in curiosity.
It was as they were coming to a bend in their unmarked path that Sah paused. There was a cemetery and moving through graves was a child. The Outlander and his companion watched her tend to the ancient stones for a moment before Sah decided to approach. His protective instincts were prodding him forward. How could he just ignore a child all alone in the forest?
"What are you doing out here alone, pup?" Sah questioned as he emerged from the trees, head tilted slightly in curiosity and concern. Lilly gave a small yip in greeting, tail wagging reassuringly.
