#you were born a prey animal but you don't have to die as one ( bran ic. )

"you shouldn’t be here ,  it’s not safe in these woods ." - from iiksiiks, to bran —@thvndersnow

the risen freezes where she stands; feet flat on the forest floor, one hand on the rough bark of a fallen tree. she can no longer hear the signs of battle; she can no longer smell burnt ether and fizzling light. her compatriots are far from here, and so are their enemies.

so why is there a captain with winter's colors standing before her?

her chest trembles with ragged, panicked breaths. blue eyes shift first from the eliksni to the empty space behind him, then back to him. away once again, to a path just eastward of them. an option, though not the best. perhaps she could go up, as well. use the treetops.

he isn't a vandal. surely he can't be that light on his feet.

her hand tightens on the bark. she ignores the splinters that break her skin. one way or another, she must escape.

"i don't want a fight."
