Finding the bay and salmon mare with another, the warrioress watched the two converse for a time. She had a slight limp on her left hind leg because of a drop she landed wrong on going down the cliff-etched mountains they had landed on. It was difficult at first, because she was exhausted and the air was thin - providing little oxygen for tired lungs. "Ygritte! Is that you?" She called from a few horse-lengths away, her ears forward as she limps forward. She wondered what had happened, where the kingdoms had gone.

A shaking, a splitting and groaning of sound as the realm herself took what they had wanted, and what she had started to take into herself again. A fading. overwhelming blackness spreads in the mare's vision and time goes by for an unknown length before she awakens..

The memory holds strong in her mind, of how she had lost her family's location - her sisters, her mother, her friends - and especially her mate Jedi. She shook her head slightly before walking forward, limping and pausing each time she placed weight heavily upon the leg, trying not to further her injuries. "I haven't seen anybody else from the Falls yet, Ygritte. Have you seen any of the other members?" The mare asks her queen - or, as she does not yet know, her former queen - as she dips her head in respect, looking her and the horse conversing with her in the eye bravely. She wasn't going to let her injury disable her ability to protect herself and keep her from seeming the strong, brave, mare who will fight for what she believes in anytime soon.
