Hail!
Hail!
Hail!
Chant the cadre of silver knights as they pour over the village, weapons drawn as they heard the horned townspeople toward large, cage-backed carts.

"By order of his majesty, King Arnbaith the Unbroken, the fiendlings of Burning Beach are to submit to relocation beyond Maesda's northern border.

Braon doesn't really think anything of it as she heads to the courtyard. At worst, she's been missing for a while... but who cares, right? Sekhmet gave her free rein of the palace. She didn't expect her to be easy to find in all that time, did she?

In short, Braon might not be entirely prepared when she walks in on Sekhmet holding court.
