*Briella*
Sometimes, I felt as if the little girl who wanted to be a cut-throat warrior was a completely separate person from who I was now.
That wasn’t completely accurate. I still felt that part of myself raging within me, especially whenever my kingdom or family was even slightly threatened. I still loved to spar with Kryzen, taking great satisfaction in besting him even slightly. He was much bigger and stronger than I was, but I was still able to be a challenge against him.
I could make him sweat when I lunged at him. Even though I was smaller and not as strong, I could often still get him down on the training mat and cause him to sweat a bit when he had to try and keep me at bay.
What actually made me see the girl I once was as a completely separate person was taking a step back and just looking at what my life had become.
“Mama, are we almost there?”
