BREAK THE CHAINS THAT BIND YOU
The war drums of divine justice rumbled in her wake as her soldiers filed in, the first of them, steadfast and loyal as always, was @Eskel asking if he might throw himself on the ivory king's sword. "Someone else has plans for him, mein Ritter." My knight. "Keep @Talisa safe. They will try to take her from us, I have little doubt." She was not here yet, but was expected anytime. The look Morrigan gave him showed the depth of what his loyalty meant to her, showed her so clearly why he was worthy of the Valour cleric's love.
@Seraphiel and @Valka gave the Alaric-turned-Luther loyalist @Toblerone the attention she was looking for, and when she attempted to stop the first of the prisoners brave enough to make a run for it, she got the fight she wanted, too. From the Lorien High Queen @Olive herself. @Kireena and
@Léonie had come, too. Even @Louve ♔. But before she had a chance to take any more stock of the fights breaking out @Einar's cry caused her attention to turn, not realizing her gentle healer of a boy had any reason to be here until she realized he was calling for someone within.
And then @Alaric himself was there. She'd seen little of him in the days since they'd last spoken, did not know of the grief which now left him looking like an avenging angel descending on his old kingdom. A man come to smite his own son if the name of divine justice. The appearance of @
@Asbjørn and the jarl herself, @Eisa, the former already assisting in the escapes and the latter joining @Isla ♔ to protect the Summit Sovereign as she appeared... It was the dark reminder that the Sigrún and Rike would always been like this. Even generations hence.
Her lapse in attention left her open, and the vicious words spat in her own favored tongue were not enough warning to avoid the claws which ripped into her shoulder blades, the teeth sinking into her scruff. "Mich zu begraben ist schwieriger, als es aussieht, Kätzchen," Burying me is harder than it looks, kitten, she snarled as she forced her limbs to bear the lighter weight of the girl now clinging to her back. The second time Morrigan had been set upon this way by one of the Rike's subjugated women.
As she spoke she would attempt to throw her head backwards, attempting to let herself drop to the ground in a deadfall as she did, aiming to bash the girl in the face with her own skull or at least unbalance her from her superior position. The Ice Queen could not feel the fiery hatred she usually felt when it came to the Rike, not for the women whom time and again Morrigan had known were merely glorified slaves to the men who ruled them. This was just a girl doing as she was told because it was the only life she'd known.
This one she would have liked to assume was one of Luther's own, based on coloring and language alone, fighting valiantly for her father even as his own father made to end his life. Alaric. She knew it could be his own death on this battlefield today but could not afford to let those thoughts linger. It was far too late for that now.
