The Witch Guards did not search Sigyn instead they lead her around the back of the tent where Odina was, the Princess was in a training session with a few fellow witches and male soldiers. She didn't see the need to ever quit training even when she had been away in Nevermere. She was going one against two blocking the blows of her advancing attackers with a blind fury that only Cambrian women had but Odina had been incorporating a balance of combat with magic as one swung their blade high Odina blocked with her long sword and spun out to her left ducking under the other all while chanting an incantation. She had left a gap between her and the pair so when she aimed her hand out a gust of unseen force knocked them backwards a good four feet further and they clashed over one another...

The instructor whispered to Odina which made the Princess turn toward Sigyn, after a few words Odina would turn away and meet the Cambrian. The guards with Sigyn would leave the pair standing off to the side not far away.

"Sigyn good to see you, please join me," Odina would lead Sigyn to a wooden table where her gear was kept grabbing a piece of flint and a sharpening tool Odina would set into sharpening her blade. She was covered in sweat and her black hair was wild from the hours she had just spent training, "What can I do for you?"

"Come," Odina slide her sword into the sheath on her back and collected her smithing things before leading Sigyn away from the tent and training grounds all together. She as was silen the whole way to the collections of blacksmiths the same place Wren had brought her to when they had spoke last it was the best place to not be met with enhanced ears, the noise only died here at night.

The Princess was going to work at least while Sigyn talked so she removed her blade and sat out her gear before beginning to heat the furnace. She didn't look like a Nevermeren with her very revealing light armor, the way her hair was pulled back in a mess, and her arms and some down her legs were adorned with old and new burn scars. The palms and a few places on her forearms revealed self inflicted curs from summons. One coul truly believe she was Cambrian by sight.

"this is the best privacy I can afford us at the moment."

Odina sighed, "I will say it again trust is a two way street Sigyn, you attacked your own women...your sisters..not Nevermeren men or their women BUT your own," she turned to Sigyn blue eyes looking the woman over, "We need healers and I nor Nevermere in the many years that they've been here has carted any women or children off to brand them like cattle in the middle of the night like scared bugs. I also haven't seen Nevermeren influence, improvements? Yes. There are houses and access to medicines we've never had here not once have we told you nor others to stop your practices...the Sanctum will remain untouched BUT thats me trusting you not to brutilize our own."

Odina squatted low rubbing her hands over the ground, "You want my truth? The same truth I told Willa Wren in this exact spot? My true name is Tara Ellis, Princess Tara Ellis. I am the banished princess of Nevermere, my Father once ruled Nevermere until the Rainecourt's came and betrayed my Father...I watched him be murdered and then my oldest sister before the rest of my siblings were banished...in time I wish to take my kingdom back. It isn't a overnight process but if you and our sisters work together we can take my throne and I will end the occupation of Nevermeren rule here...."

"You speak so ignorantly Sigyn, I say that with all due respect," she huffed a little that ended in a heavy sigh, "again you are denying the existence of their beliefs and accepting only your truths, I've never heard a Witch nor a Nevermeren deny your ways...and I fear you will never trust me so I can think of only one way to make us trust one another," she looked away staring out at the fire growing in her kiln, "A spell," really a curse on both of them but ultimately Odina couldn't phrase the word as a curse without a little fear, "A spell that would bind our word to our lives, should I betray you," she now looked back at Sigyn serious as one could be, "Then death will be the price..."

"I will need a few days to prepare for the ritual," Odina replied pushing hair back from her sweaty face, "I will keep soldiers and witches out of the Sanctum and if someone goes over my head say the King I will warn you so you can properly prepare for her protection as needed," now Odina gave one of her demands to add to what she was sure going to be a lengthy list, "No more brandings, inside or outside of the Sanctum, we are decent humans and I expect everyone to be treated justly so," drawing her sword Odina set back into sharpening the long blade, "I will need time to make my claim to Nevermere, I have no armies and fewer allies except a small family in Nevermere and Wren," she paused to see if that gained a reaction.

"Then you will be my Witch Doctor?" Odina gave Sigyn a soft smile and offered her hand to her, "The Sanctum will be perfect for our ritual and we will call for Wren..to witness our bonding," she would pull Sigyn closer to her, "Thank you..and I will get news about your Mother."

Odina didnt let go, she studied Sigyn' face, she had such a rough beauty and she was strong two things Odina looked for in women she was attracted to and she was attracted to most if not all the women of Cambria..even Sigyn.

She would kiss Sigyn on the cheek softly, lingering a moment, before pulling back.

"You should smile more you know? It's quite beautiful," tucking hair behind the woman's ear she smiled, "can you aquire for us a small sacrifice for the ritual? A lamb or goat?"
