the dead are gone, and the living are hungry.
Larken had found her in what she assumes had been a reasonable amount of time. Her little sister had been nearly beside herself in excitement over the news - it had taken the girl more than a few minutes to finally get her mouth working enough to spit it out. War.
Lexa had frozen, momentarily, thinking, assessing. They’d known for some time that war was approaching, but knowing it’s coming is different than it actually being here.
But her path is clear - her new tattoos a reminder of the promises she has made. She will fight for the Jungle.
She arrives late to the battle and stops in a position in the trees where she can assess the situation before making a move. She sees a lion and a wolf, a few sisters, and a myriad horses that she’s never seen before. And her mother, of course. Lyris is never particularly hard to spot (especially with the gathering storm clouds overhead).
She stays still for a moment as the battle rages on, listening to the sound of flesh on flesh, and watching as the fights grow more and more vicious. Then she picks her target.
She chooses the blue mare purely because she is currently unopposed, standing stock still in the battle after attacking a lion (she assumes this must be Prague - normal lions don’t talk after all), and then killing two other lions.
She concentrates for a moment, sucking in the carbon from the earth around her. For once, she’s glad for her mother’s insistent nagging to practice - the action is as easy as breathing. Then she wraps it around herself, forming a black, solid, diamond hard armour. Impact injuries will still hurt a little, but at least she will be protected from the worst.
Then she charges forward, bursting through the trees towards the blue mare head on. At the last moment she plants her back hooves and rears up, striking out at the Chamberling with her carbon reinforced hooves. The fight has begun.
