“They’re a part of the chain. They keep the deer population in balance. Unless a beast is a threat, we avoid killing them if possible.”

Who would I become if I wasn’t at the mercy of men? An adventurer? A voyager? A writer? An artist who traveled the realm and never cared that her fingertips were stained with charcoal or paint?

Yes, I believe in the gods. I believe they watch us from their precious shades. And I believe they’re vindictive, manipulative bastards intent on tormenting us from their thrones.”
