Kreios
wildcat of the falls
The sound of hooves causes me to turn my attention from the spotted mare and towards the heart of the kingdom where not one but two golden mares emerge.
By the time I turn back to Lexa, she’s lit up as though she recognizes me, and when she explains where, I realize that I know her as well, though we’d never spoken. I know that summons had been directed to my father’s descendents. Related on both sides of the family then, I think, unaware of the precise bonds that link us – uncle and cousin. She’s here for political reasons and not familial ones, so I fall quiet as she speaks.
“We might be, ” I reply, because this is not something that Ygritte and I have discussed yet. The Amazons tend to get themselves in scuffles far more often than the rest of the kingdoms in Beqanna. An alliance insures they will help us in times of need, but historically those times have been far less frequent than the number of times the Amazons called for war. Generations have passed, but the amazons are still the kingdom that tried to subjugate the Falls “for their own good.” “What does your Khaleesi expect from such an alliance?”
I’m glad that both Ashara and Anahi had responded to the call. This is an excellent opportunity for the new diplomats to learn the works on alliance making, and perhaps they’ll go on their own such ventures in the not-too-distant future.
