Dethroned and debased || OPEN
After fading in and out of consciousness during what felt like a trip that took days, Sejuani awoke, curled up at the base of a long-dead tree, surrounded by fresh snow. Unsure if what she had just experienced was a dream or reality, she quickly reached up to clutch at her arms and sides, giving her face a slap to try to knock some sense into herself. "Armour.. Helmet.. Flail.." She muttered to herself as she sat up, running her hand over her equipment, giving a quiet hiss at the sight of blood on her fingers from running her hand along a small gash in her forearm. "Bristle." She trailed off with a faint gasp, looking around frantically for her boar companion.
"Bristle?" She called out, jolting upright. She grabbed onto the tree for stability, shuffling around in search for the icy boar. Two large tusks protruded out from a huge pile of snow to Sejuani's left - the tusks of a certain winter pig. Sejuani gave a quiet sigh of relief, clutching at the handle of her flail as she limped over to Bristle's tusks, carefully pushing the snow aside. She quickly scanned Bristle's body - no damage. A pleased little smile crossed her face as she sat back in the snow, leaning up against the sleeping pig with a quiet grumble. "I must be home." She murmured to herself, taking in her snowy surroundings. It all seemed so familiar, compared to the Freljord, but it felt.. Wrong. The snow was soft; the chill was there, but she didn't feel it eating away her bones. She would dare to say that she preferred it, if she wasn't so afraid of sounding weak. The ice of the Freljord had shaped her, not this mild snow. But, if she was truly home, what a welcoming there must be for the Winter's Wrath.
Bristle woke up slowly but surely, eventually rising to his feet. Sejuani patted the boar's enormous head before she stood up with him, walking by his side toward the sound of activity - the town of Autumnhill. "I trust my men have kept strong. Cannot let them grow weak like the Ursine did." She said to herself, slinging her jagged flail over her shoulder. "But we can whip them into shape, cant we?" She bumped Bristle with her hip, giving a quiet laugh. The Winter's Wraith could never be so wrong; she was in for quite the shock, upon discovering Autumnhill and it's familiar inhabitants.
