She knew, deep in her bones, that there was no way her older sister would hold herself back. The chaotic nature of Diantha Miroslav was not one to think things through, to consider the sheer danger they were in by being on the sidelines. Even if Rielus won, Victoria doubted the assembled Wolfbron members would go down without a fight. But her sister had a debt to settle and launched herself towards the mouldy cub to attempt to regain some of her lost pride. In moments it seemed, chaos erupted - the red Scillan girl launched herself into the frey whilst a spotted adult attempted to step between them. It was everything she had to back up, to get out of the way of flailing limbs and step towards her father. She wanted to launch her body forward, to battle her way to Diantha's side and show the Wolfbron cubs that they weren't to be messed with. But this had happened before and she had been knocked unconscious - it steadied her mind now to think of the consequences of her actions. It also made her teeth ache, not to join the fray. Then again, her father's wrath had been fearsome when the pair had been returned from Wolfbron the last time and Victoria had a dash more self-preservation than her headstrong sister it seemed. Regardless of what her sister was doing, her attention was briefly dragged to witness the victor - the Wolfbron lioness retained her crown and Rielus had lost. It was a sucker punch, but also the spark and within seconds it seemed, chaos erupted once more. She could clearly see the line drawn in the sand - if there had been animosity between their prides before, there was now downright hatred. Ears flattened and Victoria knew she needed to do something - fight or flee. It wasn't in her to leave her family, but within the space of a few fluttering heartbeats, @Seneca cuts her off and his fierce command is not something she could ignore. Ears pressed firmly against her head, she narrowed her gaze into a glare at her father's retreating hide as he barrelled into the fray - she just hoped that it was to retrieve her sister and not ring her neck himself. With no choice, the Princess turned and moved to slip away. She wasn't the only one - there were a few she recognised from the Obsidian Hollows challenge and it seemed easiest to follow them out. Keeping to the shadows, slipping along behind the High Sovereign in the hopes of making it back to the Oasis in one piece. It almost didn't occur to her to check out the remainder of the Bluffs borders, but when Roan stepped over the borders and she had content that she had remained undetected by the male, she paused and began a more thorough inspection of the borders on her way out. She might not get this opportunity again afterall. Of course, her fathers instructions had been clear - she was expected to return immediately to the Oasis. But he was caught up in a fight of his own and Victoria didn't think he would notice if she spent a little time snooping on her way out. /exit +5 Learn the extent of a pride’s border (2/2) +5 Follow someone through a territory (2/2) (Roan) +10 Learn something about pride/group/family relations (2/2) (AO/WB enemies) |

July Y13
Summer
Summer is in full swing now, with clear skies, warm nights, and ample sunshine! As such, the deserts begin to grow dry, the shores remain a blissful escape, the north is spared with cooling winds, and humidity continues to rise in the jungle. Rain and storms are long forgotten troubles by now, which is both a virtue and a vice during the heat of the season.
