Romani
With Kasai at her side, the golden-red Protector made her rounds, feathered feet striking the frozen earth with grace. It was Frostfall now, marking one year since she had arrived in Helovia... Had it really only been a year? For Romani, it felt like so much longer had passed since that day she had innocently wandered into the Threshold. So much had happened... Living in the Foothills, meeting Xanthos, experiencing the taste of love, then being forced to find a new home. The Edge became that home, her new safe haven, and it was here that she had birthed Jasiri, their daughter. While struggling at first to settle into the Edge, to begin to truly feel like this place was her home, she could now not fathom herself living anywhere else. This was her home, and this was where she would protect with her life, should the need arise.
Kasai padded silently along beside her, curious of the snow that was falling from the sky. It was the black and white cub's first Frostfall, and the feline couldn't help but be captivated by the snow around them. There wasn't a terrible lot, but it was enough to spike Kasai's ever-present curiosity. Image after image of a tree covered in snow was thrusted into Romani's head, and more often than not she would have to pause in her patrol, dip her head downwards, and remind the young cub that they were looking at snow. Kasai would release a little trill-half purr of excitement, rub the ever-growing length of her furred body against the mare's thick leg, and proceed to send more images her way.
A repetive process, but one that Romani truly enjoyed. She wouldn't berate Kasai for simply being a child.
As she wove through a collection of naked trees, long ivory tail flicking from left to right, Romani's crisp eyes arrived on the wooden fortress that served as their prison for trespassers and the like. It wasn't a fortress, per se, but it was enough to keep a horse obtained. What truly caught her attention and thoroughly startled Kasai, however was the sudden, deep bellow that shot into the air.
"You're not welcome here! Get out!"
Immediately Romani's head snapped to the side, spotting both Aaron and Alanna. She recognized them instantly, but one that she didn't recognize was the mare that Aaron was threatening. What in the heavens was going on? Yet with further examination, it was clear just what was going on. Looking back to the wooden prison, Romani was shocked into a stupor to find that Ignita, the leader of the Assassins, lay crumpled against the frozen ground. She was... Dead? How? Taking a step forward, Romani saw no markes of struggle upon the dead-creature's hide. Perhaps it was natural causes...? Or maybe the Gods simply had something to do with it.
Either way, as Romani turned her head to face the mare who she previously couldn't name, something clicked in place. This was one of the Assassins. It had to be. And Romani had had enough. Blue eyes glittered ferociously as she stalked closer to Aaron and the Assassin bitch, a scowl pulling at her dark lips, and at her side Kasai let out a deep and menacing growl. The she-cub could feel the anger and hate resonating from her bond-mate's compact body, and in turn, Kasai reacted accordingly.
"Or, Aaron... Perhaps we should just throw her in with her dear leader and ensure that this never happens again." Romani stated coldly. It was almost strange, feeling this detached from her normal levelheaded personality due to anger... But didn't this bitch understand that the World's Edge was their home? Didn't she understand that, simply by not respecting their borders, that she was a threat? A fool, this Assassin was, and Romani would make her pay for her idiocy.
"What do you say, Assassin? Care to make a wager?"
