When we can’t control fire,
we name it “wild”
Whatever Alina had been expecting to hear, it certainly wasn't what Nephele said. The huntress rocked back as if slapped, actually flying backwards a little in shock. "What?" There was no doubt it was the truth, and her expression grew equally grief-stricken and furious. "How? Who is responsible?" Her grip on her spear grew white-knuckled.
When the other woman went on, though, Alina's eyes widened in surprise. Though it wasn't Nephele's fault, she kept dropping these pieces of information that rocked the huntress' world. Taking a deep and steadying breath, Alina's expression grew steely and resolved. "If Ludo said that, I will do my best to prove myself worthy of It, and of our people."
Then she gave the other Fae a firm look. "But you're right. Our people are fragmented, and will need to be strengthened to face the Ascended, and all the other threats to the Greatwood." The huntress let go of her spear with one hand and held it out for Nephele. "Will you help me in this, sister? Be one of our champions, our guardians."
