[ betraying the Coalition; moderate opponent ]
There was no reason. No anger. No vengeance. No hatred. No reason, to cause harm to the pirates within the Typhoon, nor the swamp dwellers of Tanglewood. The Elysites. Not even the Pittians. Not for the young kodkod. The Coalition started all of this. This malicious conquest. For what? What right did they have to take someone else's home?
Thin ice. Summer's loyalty to those who had taken her and Westley in had been thin ice. For they were needlessly cruel. Quick to harm others. How could she fight for someone like that? She wouldn't. She hardly owed them a thing regardless. Brief shelter.
She hadn't planned on fighting. Stayed out of it. Stayed away from every raid. Every stupid conflict. But she'd been curious. Been curious and when the call for battle rang around the archipelago, Summer froze where she stood between the trees, ears flat. Eyes hard as ice. The Coalition deserved this. For they had no right to someone's home. She wouldn't fight to keep it. But I can fight to free it.
Tense, but alert, Summer felt her heart skip a beat when her ocean colored hues saw a shadow move. Familiar shape. Dark-fur. Vines. "[color=#eef2af]Salem?" Her voice a startled whisper, unwilling to draw attention to the small pirates hidden in the undergrowth.
She saw the smaller wildcat tense but luckily for her Keona would not be so harsh to attack immediately when there was recognition in her voice. A chance. Summer took a breath. Solidifying her decision. She had no reason to stand for the Coalition. Not when it was her family they were hurting.
"I'll fight with you." For you. "Come on. To the water. Lets drive them out."
