Something was wrong. Something was very wrong. Something had changed Taiga, or at least tried to, and as one of its guardian’s she had failed to protect it. But what could she have done? Jinju wasn’t alone in the Taiga and she was perfectly aware of that. She knew others would stand with her to fight for their home. There was just one thing holding her back. Or two, to be more precise. There was no way she would guide Ander or Polaris towards any danger.
She doesn’t know what is going on. Doesn’t know what happened to her beloved forest. But right now, her baby son and her baby sister’s safety was most important. She’d promised Ruan to look after the glass girl during his time away, promised to keep her safe. And even the Taiga’s well-being wouldn’t make her break that promise.
Though, that didn’t mean Jinju liked it. Worst was that she couldn’t even show her anger, or her displeasure about the whole situation. ”Isn’t this a wonderful place to camp at?” she asks both children, a smile forced tugging on the corners of her lips. Jinju had guided them deeper into the kingdom, away from the sea, towards Sylva. In this part of the red wood forest mountain a few caves doted the landscape. Hidden except from those who knew where to find them. ”Maybe the wolves will come to keep us company tonight.” She was teasing them, of course she was. Circinae was Taiga’s only real wolf and the navy blue and forest green mare didn’t pose a threat to them.
It wasn’t easy. She wanted to rage, to let fire dance, to scream and shout and go for those who ruined her perfect life. But she couldn’t. And neither could she show that something was wrong to the kids. Jinju would have to keep them save until her father returned. But she damn well hoped he would come quick.
