Failed Duties [[Closed]]
#7
Judgement was not cast immediately. In the quiet Eido breathed slowly, eyes closed, seeking a calm that did not want to come – listening despite herself for sounds that indicated the other woman was reaching for her weapons. She wondered if it meant she would be asked to complete the duty herself. A last chance at honour, though she was not sure it wiped the slate of her soul clean. She had never hurt anyone though, and as a last act, perhaps healing a sister went some way to redress the balance.

Silence held Eido’s tongue for a long moment when the Atharim asked her name. Answering truthfully would put Kota in danger as a relative, and while she would accept her own life as forfeit, she would protect her brother to the last.
