After a devastating loss for her clan, Ashawyn Lavellan swore she'd never lead another team...but fate has a funny way of making us break those promises.

“No one blames you, da’len,” she said gently. “You saved far more lives than you lost.”
“I’m sure that’s a great consolation to their families,” Ash muttered under her breath.
“Your father always carried that responsibility on his shoulders as well. I watched it eat away at him for years. I do not wish to see the same burden weigh you down.”
“I’m not weighed down, Deshanna,” she sighed. “It’s just safer this way. You named me head scout. Trust my judgement.”
“It is as you say,” she conceded.
Ash finished stuffing the last few potion bottles into her bag before pulling her cowl up over her head.
“I’ll send a report back as soon as I’m able.” She stopped and placed a hand on the Keeper’s shoulder.
“Halam’shivanas,” Deshanna said softly, placing her hand over Ash’s. “Dareth shiral, Ashawyn.”
“Halam’shivanas,” she responded in the same low tone before disappearing into the night.
