While Wraen listened to Chanel, she came to a conclusion that this new recruit was the first and only person, who openly admitted that they had had an easy and comfortable life. Up until today, the Sovereign had not thought it possible. Yes, she was spared life's great tragedies and horrible stuff that happened to some people, but even with this in mind she could not say that living was any less challenging in the wilds. She had lived in nice places, but to say that they had always accommodated for all of her needs so that she could pick up Chanel's easy-going attitude and naive beliefs? No. Far from it.

This did not mean that she thought any less of the girl. You needed variety and fresh faces was just the remedy for this. "So - what I conclude - you set out in the world to be a heroine of your own story," she summed up. "What stories of travellers and warriors were you told as a child?" she asked, never missing a chance to add more tales to her vast collection.
