Sleeping Dragon the difference in the shades

 
"I had to learn," the stormchaser answered with a shrug of her shoulders.  
 
Thyri was not there to impress her siblings. She was there to prove to them that she was the finest and most capable of their brood. Though she expressed many of her feelings with an apathy that would have felt like nails on a chalkboard, it was becoming her nature and would soon transition into a harsh reality. She could not learn to survive surrounded by her siblings and her parents. Her father, she felt, would understand better than the others. Freyja did not know because she valued different things. Thyri valued the savagery of nature and the way they were intended to be. Freyja valued... rank and that which she could attempt to hold over others.  
 
"I am better since I have been on my own. I am stronger and more confident. I am not grounded by the simple things that hold you here," she snapped with conviction. For Thyri truly believed in her strengths and abilities. She knew that she was better because of it.
