The first reaches of dawn were becoming evident in the east. The stars were beginning to disappear, winking in the distance, fading until they were no more. The sky, a deep indigo in the west, faded across the half-globe to a dull grey, except for the very beginnings of gold on the horizon. Day was soon to break, and I hadn't had much sleep. Yet, I felt oddly rested. Our general had a very calming effect, or so it seemed to me. My chocolate orbs observed the changing scenery with serenity, then made their way back to Midas' face. I'm sure that the amount of peace emanating from me was similar to the waves of heat from my body in this cold Frostfall.

Despite this, his words saddened me. Why must the world be so obsessed with war and hatred? Why can't we simply agree to disagree? Why can't we get along? Why was a general a necessity? Why was my position-to-be so riddled with bloodshed rather than simple illnesses and birthing and the like? I shook my head. "The world is a backwards place, I fear," I murmured, almost to myself. And then, louder now: "I hope for a day when such talents as yours and mine are simply stories we tell to keep our children in line." A small smile at the thought of a family graced my lips. I had always wanted a family. But who would grant such a wish for me?
