Matilda
Matilda has been caught in a daydream since meeting Assailant - dreams of lush tropical foliage and the comforting danger-glow of the lava rivers that crisscrossed the ground. Her family had left as soon as it had become unsafe and she had been disappointed to discover it was concealed, or missing, by the strange clouds that now covered a good portion of the continent.
It had not occurred to her that they might be able to ask the fairies to bring it back.
And now that thought would not leave her - granting her a dreamy smile as she makes the trek up the mountain. Carefully picking her way up the rocky slopes while she remembers what it had been like to scamper through the jungle with hoof and wing and paw with her family.
The group has begun to gather and aside from Assailant there are only two others she vaguely recognizes - she can’t remember their names, though she’s reasonably sure they had been the rulers of Tephra and she knows them by virtue of having lived in the same area and having seen the opal and dove-white pair around.
Feeling uncharacteristically shy, undoubtedly thanks to the anxious wait of what they are all hoping for, she simply offers a smile in greeting to any who may look her way and joins with the wait.
