She has questioned this decision — and how could she not? A part of her thinks that they are undeserving of the peace they search for, of a fruitful world with hopeful adventures and freedom from bloodshed she had never asked for. Somehow, she had been thrust into Cassine's world more than she had ever imagined, and it was a cruel and unforgiving one in manners far different than that of her homeland.
