All I want is one more chance to be young and wild and free

She’s starting to get more than a little worried. It’s been well over a year since she last saw Sette, and all traces of her best friend seem to have disappeared from the Jungle.

She hadn’t been too concerned at first - she’d merely assumed that Lagertha had sent the girl on a mission to another kingdom and had neglected to tell her (considering Vi’s pathetic behaviour lately, she wouldn’t blame the girl). But weeks had turned into months and months had turned into a whole year. And still Sette isn’t back.

It’s enough to bring her out of her usual solitude and venture back into the main part of the kingdom. She doesn’t even keep to the trees, as is her habit, instead marching right out into the middle of the biggest clearing in the Jungle. Once at its centre, she raises her wavering voice, calling out Lagertha. She’s nervous about calling Lagertha - she is the Khaleesi after all - but the last time they’d met the grey mare had told her that she if she ever needed anything, she should just ask. And, being Sette’s mother, Lagertha would be the most likely to know where the girl had gone, right?

Feeling anxious, she settles her hooves into the dirt, trying to stop fidgeting. It’s useless though, and as her brown eyes scan the surrounding underbrush for Lagertha’s approach, she can’t help but rock back and forth on her heels.
