It is inevitable that change will happen. And in the time she had taken her leave of Beqanna, much had changed throughout the kingdoms. Indeed, much had changed within her own family. And, well, as absentee a parent as she had been, she has much to make up for. Starting with her grandson.
She would be lying if she said she were not proud of him. He had accomplished a great deal in his short life. She might play a long game, but it appears he does not. And there is certainly something to be said for that. But while his father’s star and burned bright and fast, she could only hope that his would not.
The wrenching heartbreak she had felt upon learning of her son’s death is not something she cares to repeat any time soon. It had also sparked a realization that she could not continue to ignore her family as she had been. She could not stomach the thought of never knowing them as more than distant visions.
And so, she makes the journey from Nerine to Loess, purpose in her easy stride. Winter has settled its icy grip into the land, coating the land in a layer of snow and ice. Chill sea winds often buffet the shores of Nerine, so Heartfire had quickly grown accustomed to the cold. Her mottled blue and white coat had grown thick, concealing the lean strength of her slender frame. Her dark locks fall errantly across her neck and forehead, contrasting sharply with the vibrant sharpness of her blue eyes.
Despite the hindrance of the snow, she soon finds herself on the border of Loess. Slowing to a halt, she glances around curiously at what she can see of the mercenary kingdom. After a moment, she reaches with her sight, finding who she needs easily enough (he is her grandson, after all. And she would certainly not be who she is if she hadn’t kept an eye on him). A simple tweak, a brief vision of his kingdom’s borders is enough to send the message she needs. His curiosity and surprise would no doubt do the rest.
