Brynn hated the heat. She had always hated the heat, as she had grown up in coastal cities, she had never been in the flush of it until this time. It made her resentful of being here, and often shooting the most wicked, and Knight like, of looks to her trainer. Brynn knew Amrich’s thoughts, and while journeying from one end of the world to the other sounded like a grand adventure, she had so hoped it would be in a more temperate climate. Amrich had forced his charge’s through the portal that had appeared at near the point of a blade- taking no excuse or fear. He had said he knew it was time, could feel it, and his duty to Rhylana and Dimitre prevailed. Right now she couldn’t give less of a damn about that duty, she wished to rest.
Apparently murder was on the night’s menu.
Brynn blinked, looking at her beloved, then back to Amrich, face falling as she rubbed her brow. “I PROTECT Amrich, I do not slaughter, you know this.” It was a protest in vain, she knew, as she would have to do this in order to get to the bottom of the strange events and where they stood in the world. Naturally, Brynn and Stefan would remain with Amrich as it was an arrangement they had made many moons ago, but she was not a fan of murder, but the people of this strange land were not fans of what they were…monsters, murderers rather the fact was true or not.
Her protests fell quiet, merely nodding at what must be done, running a hand through her hair as she cocked one hip, hand upon it as she tried to force this to reconcile within her mind. “You’re frightened of my mothers, Tari would surely slaughter you if she is not dead already, and Rhylana…if she survived, I know she would not mind to come to blows.” She shook her head and rose her hands in a gesture of concession, this would bother her profoundly later. “Let us simply get this over with, I do not want to discuss it, merely execute this plan and get the answers we need.” Her tone had steeled, locking away that which she was, entering into the quiet space, the white noise of her head to allow her to commit atrocities and lock away the inner voice for a time.
While Dimitre was right, she was not fond of slaughter, she was not one to revel in this. She half wondered if shifting would be more beneficial for this mission. Had her trainer had the blessing of the moon and the good fortune of a beast, they’d be there already. Though, Stefan and she could not just shift and run, leaving the elf to work it out on his own. “Do you want bade, or Fang Amrich?” The question came out cold, her eyes having lost their spark as she compartmentalised in preparation for the battle ahead. Many would lose their lives today, and she refused to be one of the ones that lost. He was her trainer, he called the shots, and he would keep them alive in this new and strange land. Though part of Brynn doubted those of her blood had survived, the other part hoped they had not, for it would be simpler to live without having two gods to answer to.
