Moon is Gibbous
Chantay waited in the reflection of Tur, moonlight shining on the silvery brands that graced her skin. Some of which she'd earned the last time she was here. Flashing fangs, streaking fire, torn flesh as the Anshega had rushed forward against them. A night of tragedy, travesty, and triumph. One of their own had fallen, but the Anshega were driven back, the Hisil restored to its rightful glory.
She'd thought things would be easier after that. The great problem that had faced the city since before she'd undergone her First Change at long last solved. Sure the Anshega were still out there, the returning spirits not likely to be friendly, but she'd assumed that things returning to the way they should have been meant that they'd be getting better too.
Except the magath had reared their head soon after, except an Idigam had shown up in the river, except they'd truly gone from the frying pan to the fire. Oh well, it's not as though renown was awarded for desk work.
But in order to fight this, it would take all of them. Which was why she was here. The Seekers had been with them when they learned the truth of the so-called Gardener, now the remaining packs had to be similarly informed. And maybe if they put their heads together they might be able to figure something out about the thing's ban while they were at it.
