August 5th
The sun had already been sinking for a few hours when the silver woman made her way through the stone kingdom. Hanging low in the sky now the orb was a burning orange, casting the world in a pastel pink that made everything seem softer somehow. Everything except the thoughts in Aponi's head. Long ago she had sworn both to herself and @Phineas that she would take the crown to make her daughter proud and for too long she had laid dormant. Now that Hypatia had disappeared the only one stopping her was Aesire herself, and it was time for the woman's reign to crumble.
The mother hadn't spoken a word of her plan to anyone that day and had left @Kyna safely playing with @Maeve promising to be back soon. Now as she moved gracefully amongst the territory she would soon call her own Aponi could no longer hold her head low. No longer would she submit to anyone, her tail flew like a banner behind her and her gate spoke of utmost confidence; now she would get what she deserved. This may not have been the Pass where she had been born, but the mountain was her birthright all the same and now she could finally claim it back. An Aquila would reign over the crags once more as they always should have.
Coming upon the flattest part of the territory she could think of the young woman was too foolish to even think of the drastic drop. A mistake that could very well have fatal consequences if one wasn't careful, and Aponi had never been careful. Lifting her silver muzzle into the sky the Aquila called for her "queen", her song ringing and echoing back against the stone walls as if one wolf had become twenty. It was a song of joy and victory, yet the war had not even began.
