breaking waves of change
Snow continues to fall on our dark woman's back, making her shiver more as she continues her pacing and whinnies for her sisters. She was not going to give up....Amazons don't give up.It is not long before a mare appears before her, as she speaks, Naga's hope returns in full. She asks if she was of the sisterhood. Naga's heart was pained but in a happy way, she was starting to lose hope. But, this stranger before her, she did not look familiar...but Naga was not going to turn away those who were not of her sisters.
Our dark feline woman nods, her stance is now more uplifted, her spirit returning in this time of the lost. Green eyes look deeply into the orange hued eyes of the other as she seeks her character. Windows to the soul.
Yes, I am. I was a devoted diplomat of the sisterhood before the...I don't even know what to call what happened.
She listens as the mare speaks once more. She too had no luck of finding any of the sisters, Naga wonders if everyone just got separated when taking cover from the...change. She knew if it weren't for the sheer quickness of the disappearance and changing of the land that the woman of the jungle would have stuck together, but of course...that is not what happened, and she was not about to dwell on that now. There were more important things to worry about. Like the future of the Amazons.
I see...well I too have yet to have any luck. But, I feel that is changing now since you have come along. Nayl? Nice to meet you. I am Naga.
She looks around. It really was just the two of them. She wondered where the others had gone to. Draconis...her dear younger friend and fellow devoted sister. Rhy...her beloved mother figure. Lagertha, Vineine, even her beloved children were lost...
She hung her head a moment, saddened by the loss of her children...but the twins were old enough to be on their own now...so she just hoped they found others to be with.
As she was about to ask Nayl of her past, another mare seemed to appear. This time it was another green eyed, jet black woman like herself, but without the white markings, and much larger in build. As she nears Naga remembers. Hestia. A much older sister than herself....emphasising much older. Naga had not spoken to her elder jungle sister before, but knows that she is to be respected. Though the sheer bitterness in her voice strikes a cord. cowards? Naga tosses the word around in her head a moment. She knows the mare is feeling upset over the loss of the jungle, she was too. But to call her fellow sisters as such....no.
Before she has a chance to say anything, the smell of someone very familiar catches her attention before she even sees her. Her spirits lift once again as the mare emerges from the wood, with a child at her side. Lagertha....the queen Naga had helped quite a bit during her reign in the jungle. She remembers quite well being the one she sent to find Rhy and Anguisette in the Deserts, as well as having her clean up the carnage from the war...Naga stayed loyal, even when others doubted her. No matter what, Naga still respected Lagertha. She did her best.
Our dark lady stepped forward, the lack of rank making her show herself more dignified and ready to take charge at a moments notice. Her smile is without sarcasm, it is sincere and welcoming. As it is for the rest of the woman she is with now...
As Lagertha greets our dark feline and Nayl, she then turns her attention to Hestia. Her words are sharp, but her voice stays level. But, Naga knows Lag well enough to know she is annoyed with the elder sister. Doing what she does best, Naga steps up before anything else is said in a sharp or condescending manner. She is bold and her deep velvet voice is as clear as the icicles dripping from the tree branches overhead. She does not add to the tension, but uses her ability to diffuse the situation.
Sisters. This is no time for this. Hestia, I know this is stressful and I know losing the jungle is devastating. But all of us are upset over the loss of our beloved home. The shift and disappearance of the land was fast, and a lot of us got separated, it could not be helped. Instead of being bitter, we must hope for our fellow sister's safety. Lagertha, it is very good to see you, we were worried about you. I know you must be as equally as upset as Hestia...
As I said. This is no time for bickering and name calling. If anything this is more a time to stand together, Nayl is right. We cannot let the Amazons die. We are strong and cunning, we will not let this new Beqanna bring us down. If you are all willing to put aside your bitterness and anger over this, will you, my fellow beloved sisters step up to the plate and join with me to start a new. A new sisterhood. A new place to call home. Are you with me? I don't want to see bitterness split us apart. The shift already did enough of that."
Blazing green eyes filled with hope and promise look to each of the women surrounding her. She is ready to take a stand, she is ready to continue the legacy of the Amazons. The jungle may be gone, but it lives within her, and it is within all of the other sisters who devoted their very lives to the jungle. Those who truly call themselves sisters would be willing to channel their emotion into creating a new place for the sisterhood. If only they will join our dark woman in this new journey without fighting. She couldn't do it alone.
She is ready...but she hopes her words get through to them. She knows both Hestia and Lagertha are strong and opinionated women. Getting them to diffuse would not be too easy, but she hoped her authoritative yet calm demeanor would be enough to show them how serious she is about needed to stand together in these trying times. She was a good diplomat, and she still is today. She had hope for the sisters to come together once again and be a strong loyal unit just as they were in the jungle.
