Princess and Ranger

In her fortified bunker, Syndra was being briefed on the events in Chillwatch, and didn't like the sound of it, at least at first.

"Tell me about Herydark." Syndra said to Ryul.

"She's been AWOL for decades. The general consensus was that as long as she never returned to the North we wouldn't do anything about it. But she's returned and based on the reports is putrid with the stench of corruption from the Great Destroyer."

Syndra didn't say anything, but was inwardly pleased. Vordea did tell her she would be sending someone to help with the infiltration problem in the Rangers, of the Usurper's Bloodline. But an actual corruption tainted ranger? She shouldn't have.

"Let her in. I'm going to speak with her privately." Syndra said after some thought.

"Ma'am?" Ryul asked, looking slightly concerned.

"I can take care of myself." Syndra answered, slightly annoyed. "Send her in, and leave."

Ryul muttered as he left, but Syndra either didn't hear it, or pretended not to. She knew Nalaea was not here to harm her, despite what it may seem like, and forgave Ryul for his distrust. As Nalaea walked in, shouting and arguing with the rangers, Syndra wondered if maybe she bit off more than she could chew. The aura, it felt the same as when Vordea was hunting her all those hundreds of years ago. Nalaea even had the same arrogant swagger that Vordea did, and approached her without any semblance of fear, or respect.

"So you're the one the Goddess told me about. Your Rangers were very naughty." Nalaea said, licking her lips and showing off her elongated canines, almost like that of a vampire.

"So I've heard. They claim you teleported to them, but you didn't did you?"

"I can move faster than any of you weaklings can think or see." Nalaea said, seemingly reappearing nose to nose with Syndra, her teeth exposed and tongue hanging out of her mouth.

"Yes yes you're threatening me." Syndra said, waving her hand and moving away slightly. "Maybe some sexual harassment to go with it? I have talked to Lady Vordea before, you know."
