this will never end, ‘cause i want more, more, give me more
The Jungle is strange; strange and magical and unlike any other place in Beqanna. There were many meadows, many grassy areas filled with flowers and water and maybe a magical something. However, like the Desert and the Tundra, there was only one Jungle. It takes a certain type of mare to be able to live here - nevermind the heat, humidity, prickly things, poisonous things, and the occasional thing that wants to kill and eat you - there are some very strong personalities to deal with. the Jungle invites a certain type of loyalty. Maybe Lagertha simply doesn’t know who has crept out of the shadows of magical exile to return to once beloved homes, but the Jungle has an ebb and flow of older sisters who appear for awhile and then fade back into the leafy darkness again. Sometimes random daughters pop up. Sometimes the immortals fall asleep. Sometimes they just simply…. forget.
And yet the sense of family and camaraderie endures, for the women are all joined by a similar spirit. And over the ages, it seems that spirit has become more than themselves.
Lagertha, herself, is one such legacy, though few know it. An odd sort of legacy, really, born over a century after her mother first died. No one should be surprised, really. Weird shit happens all the time in Beqanna… like right now, for instance. The normally dark gray warrior is working on her camouflage skills. She’s tried to make herself appear like part of a particularly overgrown tree. The pockets of shadow and light make this easier than say, in the Meadow, and she’s tried to mask her smell with a particularly pungent flower. It’s the perfect test, when a mare comes near, and to Lagertha’s delight, she doesn’t seem to notice the General.
Not until she speaks up, at least. “Hello to you too, stranger.” She doesn’t reveal herself quite yet, though her jaw obviously has to move and creates some sort of motion amongst the leaves. She stifles a chuckle and subsequent laughter-shaking and wonders what the strange mare’s reaction will be.
