   Summary

   Becoming a leader of a nation ain’t an easy feat. All the better for her to not be seen in the company of the Butcher.

   Regrettably, the age-old adage remained true: Absence made the heart grow fonder, and this applied as much to Fordola’s deceased father and friends as it did to the woman that Fordola hated she pined for.

   After the liberation of Ala Mhigo, Fordola could never allow herself forgiveness, and her feelings for Lyse do not deserve attention even after the events at Pagl'than. However, Commander Hext may have her own thoughts on the matter.
