The ground was blurred with ashy leaves; Pandora had to work to keep her footsteps silent, but she managed it. If she excelled at nothing else, the half breed princess was relatively competent at the Wylder Realm version of espionage.
She was both too Gaias to not appreciate it and too Gaias to not dislike it.
A massive black feline came up on her side; to her knowledge, Caael had never transformed into human, and thus all the Andreizi's energy was poured into the specialties of the cat form. Caael was someone Pandora appreciated at her back and never wanted to face on the battlefield.
Anything? She mouthed impatiently at her partner, knowing with a flare of frustration that it was silly of her, Caael wasn't going to understand and they weren't going to risk verbal or psychic contact while in enemy territory.
Still, Pandora hated waiting....
The woods erupted with birds as a woman's voice rang out in a low, long eerie cry.
Pandora came to her feet fast, the tension alive in Caael's body beside her. "The war has come to this pretty place." She murmured, and felt a deep twist of bitterness.
Pandora hated waiting, but she thought what was to come next would probably be worst.
