Closed The Twin Cousins (Vetari, V)

[Drusilla]

17th of Summer 515AV It seemed like more rocks were falling daily and showed no signs of stopping. It figured, spring had been too quiet. Too calm. Too nice. Now this, boulders free falling from where ever they pleased and from Drusilla's own first hand experiences in the volcanic city thing were just going to get worse. Rak'keli forbid another god break free from deep within the city. The memories of the event gave the Symenestra the shivers. So many had died and so much had been ruined that day. She looked down and picked at her food, strangely she found her stomach uninterested in today's food... It had been like this for a week, all food had lost it's appeal. She was hungry, but... No thank you. There was a tap on her shoulder and the woman turned to her side where Lyerd sat. The mute boy made a motion with his hand much like Zhol did with Pavi. But this was not Pavi, but a gesture meaningless to all but Drusilla, a language only she understood. "What?" She asked the teen. He made a gesture questioningly. "N-no, I'm fine. Just not hungry is all." Lyerd countered by counting fingers on his hand. "It hasn't been that many days. You like to exaggerate, you know.." Drusilla was about to lecture the teen when a yell rang out, Symenestra at the gates! Where as most scattered back to their rooms, Drusilla rose to her feet and began to run to the gates, bow in hand. "Lyerd finish my food!" She was sure he signed in protest. "I said eat the food! That's an order from your mentor!" And she was gone. Running through the tunnels the opposite way as most where running, she kept on. In all the years she had been here, none of her kin had tried to find there way in, or at least at lunch time. Oh well, at least she wouldn't have to eat... Climbing to the top of the boulder Drusilla saw him. It was a he. He had white hair much like her own.. No, just like her's. Taking an arrow, she readied her bow and overshot the male. A warning shot, still it flew by the side of his head. Then she spoke, "Krova! Turn around, you'll not get any women from our city! So make up your mind, turn away without a surrogate or come at us and get killed! Well! Make up your mind!" She shouted as loud as she could. She was ready to kill if she had to. Krova or not.
