And she has never once flinched from duty- but there are times it galls, to know that she'll have to spend the rest of her life hobbling herself, never showing her potential to the public eye.]
[The elements of the natural world, wind and stone and water... they all just feel so cold and sterile to her, compared to blood magic. Light and fire are brighter, but they're just not the same.]
