Koda;
Instinct is the first law of survival.
Before reason, before tradition… Before fear.
Instinct has always been the voice that whispered before the world learned how to scream.
And mine has never led me astray.
Not in war, not in rulership… and certainly not in matters of loyalty or betrayal.
So why, then, does it feel like I was standing at the edge of something that might consume me every time I look at Alana?
I would be a liar if I said that I do not feel it. That I do not sense it.
The things Rhydian says about her… and more. I can feel it! That's strange… underlying difference!
My refusal to accept it however is fear. Our people are still healing and I am so unwilling to accept that just at the hem of our recovery… could be a new problem.
I just want my people to have peace! But… refusing to acknowledge a potential threat is not peace. In fact, it will only birth the one thing I hope to avoid. Chaos.
