Chapter 7

And finally her lifelong obsession with mastering the bladesong. She has spent
years now, in various places below, upon, and above the lands, using all such
different terrain and foes to hone her skills. It is never done, always a path
rather than the destination, but she is proud of what she has accomplished so
far. She only wishes she could speak of such things with her father. She returns
to Darsylon with some frequency - each time a great ache to her heart. Each time
the coldness of her reception a dagger to her soul. But even though she goes and
purchases her favorite foods, she has not returned inside the palace. She has not
stood by her father and entreated him to speak to her. She is afraid he will
refuse, and strong as she is, that might break her heart. She hopes one day it
will be different, but for now, she avoids him, and he has not reached to her. All
she can do is practice the weapons work as she always saw him do so, and keep his
example in mind. It will have to be enough.
