However, the Fates would not let me live my life that way for long. When an assassin threat rose from the heart of the frozen North, I found that I could not turn a blind eye. And when the ones being hunted had no one to guide them, I stepped forth with no idea about what the Hells I was doing. Allies were met, and enemies were fought. In the end I think Nymeia was mostly on my side. The threat was ended, but I had lost some of my old innocence.
While some of my old friends I still retain to this sun, it was not long before I made new friends once again. This time, they were a people that shared a common cause with me. Somehow, I became a leader amongst them as well. Mayhaps it is my urge to control things, or Nymeia's will, but I seem fated to leadership. It has not always been easy, and I am not the perfect leader, but I take the role as a great honor. I became Vice Matron in a Free Company called the Morbolvine Clan.
We do not always get along. Many of us have little in common outside a sense of kinship. Being a leader in the Morbolvine Clan has been one of the most challenging tasks in my life. But I refuse to relent. They are all my family.
While I had new responsibilities, there were still many tasks and adventures to be had. Our Free Company needs to be supported, and we all strive to rediscover ourselves.
I even fell into romantic love again. This time, this bond is meant to last. Rinh'li started out as someone who I felt an urge to protect, and that made us grow very close.
