KIADA curl your hands into fists, and sharpen your nails. And just like that, the barrier had fallen, and her and Deimos had been there to witness the fall. What came after, Kiada originally thought to be chaos, but things were fairly fine. The world didn’t end, and with it came her great need to explore and learn and yearn. So when Deimos had come to her door, to ask her if she wanted to go and explore, she agreed entirely. Leaving Auni at home, just in case anything happened to him, she stepped out with Deimos until they had reached the giant scar in the earth.

So when Deimos turns his head to her, challenging her in that way he knew how to so very well, she gave him a toothy grin. “Ready as I’ll ever be.” She says proudly, strongly, eyeing the woods with a curiosity that couldn’t be crushed easily. “If things get rough, I’ll shift into a vulture and try to get an overhead view.” She says almost in a militaristic way – a calculating effort to see what kind of dangers might lie out in the greenery. Kiada recalls the Rift and the surprises the world had given her time and time again, and she hopes this time to come just as prepared. And she follows Deimos into the woods, hands clenching slightly beneath her gloves as her eyes scout the ground around them. the next time a man tells you to smile, show him bloodstained teeth.
