They’re great Inkhorn! I like. However, Rhianna would be lying through her teeth about it being the best dream ever. She’s not been in it long enough for it to take that prize. You probably noticed that she isn’t averse to telling whopping fibs though, so it’s completely in character.
Rhianna
“…we are trapped here until Lord Castle sees fit to send us back,” the young woman said melancholically.
Those words, naturally, piqued Rhianna’s intention. Perhaps if the young woman had realized this, she would have been more careful in what she said. The catastrophic potential in this scenario was beyond enormous. So wrapped up in plotting was she that she barely responded to Denari’s muttered, “Since when does Rhianna have sense?”
“Since I got to the palace before you did,” she retorted vaguely.
Ari made a sound suspiciously like a snort, which surprised Rhianna. She glanced at him for a moment in puzzlement; Ari had always been such a quiet chap.
He was in the middle of asking the young woman what her name was (belatedly remembered manners, Rhianna smirked), when Rhianna cut in abruptly.
“What you mean is that we have to kill Lord Castle in order to get back, right?” she demanded.
“That is most emphatically . . .”
Rhianna shushed her. “That’s what you meant. Trust me, this is going to be good.”
Ari had wandered off and was peering around the curtain with a worried expression. “Uh, Rhianna?”
She ignored him. “What’s your name?”
With a regal air, the girl answered, “My name is Cahira.”
“Where’s that other person I grabbed?” Rhianna demanded, as if she’d misplaced something important. “There needs to be three of us.”
Cahira rolled her eyes. “There are three of us, genius.”
“Ari doesn’t count,” Rhianna retorted. “Obviously he’s not going to follow me around.”
“Wonder why,” Cahira muttered.
“Rhianna!” Ari repeated more urgently.
“By all four Dragons and eighteen Winds, what is it Denari?!” A resounding boom punctuated the end of her sentence. In a flash, Rhianna was at Ari’s side.
“Aha!” she crowed. “The army has arrived!”
Feel free to change things up as it works for you! Also . . .
Conroy’s backstory had been pretty underdeveloped for a while, but once I started diving in, it got heavier (more than I intended).lol isn’t that how it always works?🙃
