The village and its earthy smells reminded Malicia of some places she'd trekked in the past, when she'd devoted almost every second of her life to growing the order and by doing so a future Empire.
But this village was so obscure and tucked away that, thinking on it, it made sense why it took her cultists so absurdly long to find it. They had a trail to work off since they use to stalk the lord, though that trail had went cold quickly, so quickly it had almost made it impossible to find the Lord.
Almost.
She was unsure how Raze would react to her presence. She wondered if it would be violent, or cold, or something else entirely. Regardless of how he reacted, she worried he wasn't getting her texts and felt she needed to make sure the lord got her warning about a mistake she'd made, one that could possibly effect him.
Because of where she was she'd left behind her usual rich clothing. She'd opted for a black, simple outfit, even if it didn't help her hide how pregnant she was. It wouldn't be much longer now before the twins were born. While the clothing items made her stick out less, her silver hair was still an unusual colour in this village, apparently, at least for someone young. She probably should've let it down to blend in more but it was in its usual tight, perfect bun.
Malicia hesitated for a moment when she saw the man the villagers called "Rick", or so she assumed it was him since he wasn't facing her. Part of her thought about turning around, but, she made up her mind and slowly approached him. "Rick...?" her voice broke the silence, "Am I... disturbing you?"
