[Kora]

Perhaps that is the problem with Kora now – perhaps her heart is no longer flesh and blood. Perhaps it has frozen over. Perhaps it is for the best. Blood that runs warm and riddled with fear had never served her well. After all, she had been a coward – a sheep in sheep’s clothing – but now? Now, she could be a wolf. “I don’t know,” she responds, an answer both frank and elusive. Perhaps she would have been better off heartless from the start – she might never have mentioned her brother then. Her whisper-soft voice is made light. “I’m sure there’s time.” Easy words which render Leander’s plight inconsequential – but only for now. She could worry about him later. For now, she wanted to be a wolf. Flicking her gaze in the direction Heartfire had originally been heading, the ice-encased mare smiles. “Shall I join you, then?” It wasn’t really a question, for Kora means to join her regardless. After all, the mare intrigues her – for all their outward coolness, she gets the impression that perhaps the feeling is mutual. What might become of such mutualism remains to be seen. kora vanished winterchild of riagan and rayelle
