Prompt:
That battle.
That horrible, wretched battle.Every scar is a reminder. Every place where her skin stays pink, where fur will not grow. Each time she sees her face in a reflection, every time the call to arms echoes across Catalena. And she is left, watching, as her Guild ready themselves for battle. When they take up their weapons, their magic, and race off to defend their city. All she can do is give them the herbs she finds, and watch them run away. Away from the Guild, and into danger and excitement. Where she longed to be.
She feels it like an ache in her bones, the desire to once more face the thrill of the battle, to feel the adrenaline coursing through her veins, making her heart beat faster with anticipation and her very bones tingle. But no; now, she was the one who stayed behind. The one who had to wait for them to return. The one who could only forage, the one desperate to help her Guild, but no where near satisfied with the way she can now.
Sometimes she wonders if things could have been different.
If she'd dodged the attack, if she'd been faster, if she'd tried a different move, if she hadn't of gone to that battle at all...would things be different? Would she still be a fighter?
What if, what if, what if.But she knew she couldn't change things. She had defended her city, her Guild, but ultimately, she had chosen to pay this price. She may regret what that battle had done to her, but deep down, she could never regret trying to protect the ones she loved.
