YOU CAN BE KING AGAIN ◇ stepping up

[Onyxdreams]

~ ☼ Onyx gave a loud yawn as she stepped outside of her home, a bit puzzled as to just what was going on and why some kind of meeting was being called. It didn't help that she had only recently even woken up, a bit later than she usually did, but she had had a long day yesterday, and the added rest did her wonders. Stopping in a nice, open space to take a seat, the hybrid gazed at Winterhymns with a look of confusion written clearly on her face. That was weird, her mama was always the one to be calling meetings like this, it was her duty as legate after all, so the fact that Winter was even up there in the first place was just...strange. She didn't really like that expression either, the frown he had, at this point she really just had a bad feeling about this whole thing in general, whatever this meeting was about it wasn't going to be good, that was for sure.

A certain chill crept into her as the words reached her, as the announcement was finally given, their legate was missing, Rhinestone was gone. No, no no no, she couldn't just be gone like that, the discens refused to believe it, they surely couldn't have checked the entire territory for her already! No, her mama was out there somewhere, maybe she had just taken a walk out late at night and...and decided to sleep out there and come back, or maybe she had just forgotten to tell someone where she was going. Doubt crossed her mind for a moment, that maybe they wouldn't find her, or worse, they might just find a body, just like they had found Medusa, and that was something she refused to accept, they would find her....they would. "I...I want to help with the search!" she called out, anxious for this meeting to be over and done with already, the faster this was done the quicker she could get moving, and the faster they could find her mom.
