The stars are alive, child! Did you know that? Everything out there is alive, and there are grand purpose abroad!
She hadn't felt such a sense of purpose in many years, not since leading Crucis after the fire. It sent a thrill through her, to be pursuing something so important once again, to have a goal ahead to strive for, and she relished in it. She had forgotten that side of herself, the one that was quietly ambitious, the sliver of royal drive that had never left even though some weren't sure she had been born with it to begin with. The champion trials had awoken it once more.
She had never been to the barracks before, where all the young soldiers slept, but she sought the champion of battle herself, and though there could be no better place to look for such a woman. She'd seen glimpses of the woman here and there, but they had never formally met. She had left Yara and Mithra behind, so they could go out and hunt for themselves. It was strange to walk through the soldiers, getting strange looks here and there. Whether it was because she looked like a skeletal ghost, or because it was a stranger she wasn't sure, but she assumed it was the former.
From what Luvena could tell from listening around the courts there were no plans for medics if battle, or gods forbid war, were to break out with another court. No dispatch regulations, no procedures for who to treat first, nothing. That had to change if denocte were ever to have a fighting chance, especially as the smallest court in Novus. And she had seen Solterra now too, they were not kind, and she feared what would happen if one day they decided Denocte no longer deserved a place here.
Finally she spotted the tall woman, a fighter if she had ever seen one. "Katniss" she called out softly. "If you have a moment, I'd like to steal some of your time to talk"
