Myria’s steps slowed as she came to the entrance to their current safe place. Her stomach roiled with unspoken emotions, fear being the one that rode her the hardest. The two people in the cave depended upon her to provide, it was one of her best skills after all and she had returned empty-handed. Her eyes fell to the bag still lying against the cave wall. Myria approached, bending to retrieve it, clutching the strap in her hand as she ventured further into the interior of their current abode. She inhaled deeply, exhaling slowly, hoping it would cause her fear to subside or at least, pool in the pit of her belly. She kept her eyes downcast, watching her feet with each step. Would he be angry with her? Perhaps disappointed? Myria wasn’t sure which was worse. Her eyes saw her master’s feet and stopped before him, wetting her bottom lip nervously.
By Danu, Myria. Stop. You’re a fighter, a warrior. Get a grip on your fear. The information you bring him is far more important.
Though she scolded herself, her fear was a very real thing. While she was finding that she enjoyed sex with her master, the fear of him impregnating her and how easily he could do so, was a fear that truly ran deep within. She took a deep breath, raising her face until her eyes met his.
“Master, my apologies. There was no game to be found for this morning’s meal but last night when I was gathering wood for the fire, I did manage to collect the last of the berries. I’ll try again later when the day warms. More importantly, I have news for you. We have company. One of the tree elves. She has been trailing us…..”
Would he be angry that the elf had gotten away? Myria swallowed and continued.
“I spotted her while hunting game and would have taken her but a bear made itself known and sent her skittering away. I’m sorry I don’t have her but I’m guessing that she’s not far away. I could go out and hunt her down if you wish.”
From somewhere behind him, she heard the softest of footfalls. Myria lifted her eyes, looking over his shoulder and spied Sylvannia. Her sister looked rather sullen and Myria wondered if something had happened while she was gone or did Bjorn have to put Syl in her place again and if so, over what now? Sylvannia stood a respectful distance from the other two, but her eyes were fastened to Master’s back with a longing in their depths that even Myria couldn’t fail to recognize. The huntress returned to gaze the man standing before her, her hand with the bag clenched in it, raised up to offer the berries to him.
“Also, as I was returning, I spied a spiral of smoke not even a day’s walk from here. Either someone is making camp or there is a home nearby. It might be wise to check it out. The only thing concerning me is the elf tracking us and her returning to her base with information of where to find us. By now, the forest elves must know what you have done and will hunt us with a vengeance. Since I have her weapons, I’m not too worried about her attacking us at the moment. I daresay she is disgraced with her leaders. Presenting knowledge of our whereabouts would certainly gain her favor in their eyes again."
Myria's eyes flitted back to her sister’s form.
“Sylvannia. Come. You must eat and keep up your strength. I am sorry it isn’t much for the moment, but it is better than nothing.”
Sylvannia’s eyes lifted from some spot on Master’s back and met those of her older sister’s. Myria nearly recoiled from what she saw there. Resentment. Anger. Bitterness. What had she done now to earn such things from Syl? Myria stood there and rolled her aching shoulder. This was battle she couldn’t win. All she knew was that Sylvannia was going to have to learn that each of them had a role to play in this dynamic. Not one more important than the other, either person or place. In order to survive, they needed to depend on each other, but her sister was a spoiled brat. Always had been. She had always been the doted upon daughter, whether it was because of looks or demeanor, Myria couldn’t be sure, but out here, none of that mattered in order to survive. A lesson Sylvannia would do well to learn and learn quickly.
