CRUEL FATES (open, joining)

[MirrorEdge]

"I'll have your backs if you have mine, miss." Simple, and completely untrue. She was highly likely to turn on them in favor of somebody stronger, at least, her old self would've. Now, she wasn't sure. It was as if she was trapped between that battle-hungry personality of hers, and the one she was trying to mold for herself, each side tugging at her, threatening to rip her apart.

Colder than here, and the territory's a bit plainer than it is here. The only real noticeable thing is at night, when you can see the stars." The stars in the Ascendents territory were simply dazzling to look at, the one thing she remembered. You didn't just see a star here and there, the sky was littered with them, like somebody had spilled a large jar of glittering objects on the floor. Here, it was the flora that fascinated her, for some reason, and she took a few steps, taking her paw and gently poking the spiky bark of a palm tree, looking delighted when she felt a pinprick of pain.
