she slept with wolves without fear

She’d been a little surprised by Topsail’s ascension to the throne. Demian had seemed, to her, a powerful man, one unlikely to release his grip on the throne so easily this second time. But then after the war, without any warning, he’d made the deal with Mast and given up the throne without so much as a second thought.

She’s still not sure what to think, really. Topsail, to her, is a princess of the Gates, with potential for the softness that her former kingdom is known for. But she’s willing to give her a chance - she doesn’t know the girl after all. She could be a far cry from her weakling father for all Rhynn knows. She might as well try to get to know the girl before passing judgement.

She seeks out the queen in the centre of the kingdom, a tiny shadow in amongst the trees. When she finally does spot her she slips out and approaches, a gracious smile painted on her delicate face. “Hello your majesty. How are you faring?” She inclines her head in respect. A little shadow-mouse forms behind her, hidden away in Rhynn’s own shadow. She’s tried to keep tabs on the new queen using her little shadow-minions, but so far the queen has remained fairly elusive. This might be the perfect opportunity to give her a tail.

for the wolves knew a lion was among them
