blank -- assembly 2/29

[Mistrim]

Mistrim sat off to the side of the crowd. Things have seemed really bright lately, and not in a figurative way. She was literally seeing colors around people, some more noticeable then others. Nevertheless, the large crowd made Mistrim’s head pound. It wasn’t like her nightmares was helping at all, what with the lack of sleep she was getting.

She used the time she couldn’t sleep to train. After the recent fights she had dreadfully realized that she was weak. Not only was she easily scared but even when she overcome her fear, she wasn’t likely to help at all anyway. It gave her a sinking feeling and made her train hard. Hard enough to leave with bruises and scratches that caused her to avoid people as best she could. She didn’t want to be a burden anymore and she wouldn’t dare have anyone use up medical supplies on her.

For a similar reason did she show her face at the assembly. She didn’t want people to get worried about her because she didn’t show, else it would defeat the purpose of training in the dead of night. However, it did make her grit her teeth silently. She would’ve told someone about all that had been happening to her but with everything going on with everything else? She didn’t want to place that on others.

So that’s why she sat there silently as she listened to the names being called. She nodded in acknowledgment of some of them although some of them she did not know. Mistrim also took note of the change in titles. In all honesty, she wasn’t quite knowing of the traditions of the clan nor any of the other ones as she had never gone to any other territory. It made her curious as to what annual celebrations the clan held.

It gave her pause when her name was called. She didn’t expect to be promoted. Especially not for a rank that she felt that she didn’t qualify for. The only thing that she might’ve done was set good examples...or was she? She couldn’t even tell. She would accept it of course, it was an honour despite the curse.

Much to Mistrim’s chagrin, Rin had called for pairs when doing anything. It might curb her ability to train by herself or risk people finding out. Perhaps she could sneak away once in awhile but she truly hoped that she was atleast accompanied by someone she knew.

All of the recent events have been stressing Mistrim out. She just hoped it all worked out.
