NPC Thread Who: Ava Slytherin and NPC Mischa Slytherin What: Her mother is finally here! Where: Somewhere along the Dragon Peninsula When: After Mischa arrives, late.
Ava had been counting down the days to this moment. It had been her first request upon entering the village, and she had not made another one to the twins since lest it seem less important than it was. In her months here, she’d seen other families reunited: The Ravenclaw, Godric and his son, and in Ava’s opinion, no one deserved it as much as her and her father. Father. She’d knew he’d be upset that she’d gone off alone, and she had considered going to him to bring him along, but thought that the surprise of seeing her mother would wash away any anger he might have at her traveling by herself. She just didn't care that it was late, there was an adrenaline surging through her. Her Mother whom she had not seen in years was waiting for her. Nothing, not even the fear of upsetting her father, would stop her in that moment.
She wasn’t foolish either, and as she rode (as hard and swift as the horse would carry her), she held in her left hands the reign and in her right-- a carefully strung bow, just waiting for the pull should she be harassed by person or animal. Should that fail, at her waist under her fastened cloak, sat a sword her father had gifted her. She rode for hours, her eyes scanning for any sign of life and finding nothing, every so often using her wand to renew the light of the lantern that hung off her horse..
“Mother!” She called into the darkness, horse now slowed as she moved through the barrier that marked the Peninsula. “Mother, It’s Ava!”
