She's got the devil's eyes
They should have met long before now. Still, Heartfire had taken no great strides to ensure it would happen. It is one thing to peer into the sordid details and secrets of other’s lives, but quite another thing to have the knowledge one could do the same to her. Still, given recent events, it is long past time the two women had met.
And so, Heartfire takes the initiative. She had always preferred to have the upper hand, and so she had taken the time to prepare for this particular tête-à-tête. The woman she had come to see may be able to read thoughts, but she could not predict the future. Nor could she the truth of past and present as Heartfire could.
And therein lies the rub.
There is a great deal that could be gained here, should she play her cards right. And, well, let’s just say she prefers to play with a stacked deck.
The territory she seeks is rather conveniently close, just on the other side of the Taigan forest. Before long, the green begins the blend into bright autumn colors, a telltale signature of the land she now approaches. It has been quiet, tied so unambitiously to Loess. Until recently however, she’d had little interest in this particular territory. Now though? Now she’s intrigued.
An intrigue that has little to do with the land itself, of course.
She settles comfortably along the borders, waiting to be noticed. She does not announce her presence in any overt sense. Instead, she merely makes herself more… noticeable. Enough to draw the eye, should the newly ascended leader glance her way. Enough to stir curiosity.
Enough for a conversation.
and they'll cut you like a weapon
