When we can’t control fire,
we name it “wild”
At the mention of Nephele and what their fellow Fae had asked Juniper to do, Alina shrugged. "A noble goal."
She found herself gritting her teeth. "But I doubt you'll succeed, especially seeing as those leaders now include the very woman who led the attack that killed our people and desecrated our sacred land. The other rulers had ample chances to do something about her, and they simply left her to accumulate power. And the people of her land let her retake a position of authority after she abdicated it." By the end of the response, she was scowling and her fingers had grown white-knuckled on her weapon.
The other woman's question earned her a raised eyebrow from the huntress. "What I've always done." She picked up her spear and twirled it. "Defend the Greatwood against threats. If the Ascended come here again without permission, I'll kill them or die trying. Other than that, I have no plans." Narrowing her eyes, she regarded Juniper, watching the diplomat for her reaction to the huntress' answer.
