Flying in soon!

Siva is shown to be somewhat superstitious as she accepted Ren’s idea that the starfall was an omen fortelling a successful hunt.

## History

### In ***The Dragon Star Saga Arc***

#### *Rise of the Dragon Star*

When meteorites shower the Winderost, Siva reminds Ren to remain in the den after the latter becomes curious about the falling rocks. Ren reassures her mother, that she just wants to look outside and has no intention of disobeying Siva nor Balrenik. After witnessing the starfall, Ren suggests that it might be a good omen not because she believes in omen’s but in order to calm her mother down as Siva is more superstitious than her daughter. Before Ren returns to bed, Siva informs her daughter of a special opportunity Kjorn and Rashard are rumored to grant exceptional young gryphons during this years Greatmeet. However, Siva will only allow Ren to attend Greatmeet if she passes her initiation hunt.

Over the next few days, Siva prepares Ren for her upcoming hunt. On the day of the hunt, Magra tells Ren how proud Siva will be to have the former join the ranks of initiated huntresses.

Siva confronts her daughter at their den after the latter fails her initiation hunt. When Ren tells her that her recently discovered geode was the reason for her failure, Siva overreacts thinking that Ren's obsession with rocks and knowledge is still ridiculous. After they get into a short argument, Siva, furious at her Daughter's defiance kicks her out of their family den as punishment the same time Balrenik arrives at the entrance.

When Ren is having a discussion with her wingsister, Halla, Ren explains why she doesn't think she should attend Greatmeet with Halla when she mentions the rock that ruined her initiation. Halla reminds Ren that Siva isn't in charge on deciding who should or shouldn't attend, King Kjorn and Queen Thyra are. After the King and Queen, grant Ren permission to attend Greatmeet, Ren returns to her parent's den to retrive her rock, but assings Halla to distract Siva by arranging a meeting with Kenna.

> While Siva is distracted with her conversation with Kenna, Ren sneaks back in their family den and retrieves her rock. While flying towards the destination Greetmeet will be held, Ren thinks about her mother.
