An Unlikely Ally

“I know what it’s like to be without your flesh and blood. Despite the laws that give father’s precedence in such matters, no child should be without their mother.”

They come in all forms, but the form I did not expect it to take was Zarah. She helped me to escape Ar, even booking our passage. Perhaps it was the fact that she didn’t want to see a child lose her mother, or perhaps she just wanted me as far away from her companion as she could send me. Regardless, I am grateful to the woman, even if I do realize the price to be paid later might be more than I’m willing to pay.
